HE Silver PEAK MISE.-The Silver
Peak mine, to which we briefly adverted
yesterday. is fully realizing the expec-
tations ofits friends. Ills. prospectively,
one of the best mines in the State, not
withstanding the low rates at which its
stock is quoted-which really has moth
| ing to do, in these times of shrs wd mine
management, with its intrinsic worth. A
car sample, assayed by Mr.. Butter, day
before yesterday, returned $50 IA to the
ton. The width Of the vein is now fully
two feet. There is considerable ore on
the dump, and no uncomfortable quaint.
ties are being hoisted daily; and with i'm
proved hosting facilities the production
would be surprising. Why the Silver
Peak Company do not ut once procure
steam hoisins works is mystery to us.
More Silver Peak stock has changed
hands in Phoebe in the last three weeks
than any other.
| A WogD OF CAUTION. evening,
in passing along Lacour street, our at
tention was called to fire promiscuously
scattered in the rear of Chinese house,
on Phoebe street. 1t seems the Chinese
are in the habit of lighting pastilles,
some SIX or eight inches in length. some
minutes being required to consume
them, and scattering them around in
side and outside of their houses for the
purpose of driving away evil spirits. 1t
would be well to inform the Chinese
generally that such practices endanger
the safety of the t0en, and positively
forbid them from further Indulgence in
this sort Of dealing with the spirits.
They should be stopped from so doing,
at once
BugrAL OF HENRY L. CAMPBELL. The
remains of Henry L. Campbell were
yesterday followed to their last resting
place by large number of his friends.
He had been on bed of suffering for
number of weeks. Last February, in
going to Fairyiew Springs, 25 miles west
OF Phoebe, he had both his feet badly
frozen. After long suffering in the hope
OF saving them, gangrene set in, infect
ing the entire system, and this was fol.
lowed by pneumonia, which terminated
fatally day before yesterday. Mr.. Camp
bell was native of San Antonio, Texas,
where his mother now resides. He was
steady, hard-working, temperate man.
New DRUG SToRE.-Jesse Beene. the
pioneer druggist of Phoebe, has recently
fitted up model drug store, in the room
occupied by j. d. E. Cavalier. Mr..
Beene has displayed good taste and in
Cured much expense in fitting up the
store. He has large stock of well
selected goods incident to the makeup
of store of that character, having been
selected with great care. Having been
resident of several towns in Nevada for
many years, and one of the pioneers of
Phoebe, it is needless for us to saw any,
thing in his behalf, he being well and
favorably known.
