Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-12-16

FROM THE SENIEB.-Oh ouhu"y e'en-
inc we had the pleasure of an interview
Nth T. N. Knight, formerly resident of
Rose Valley, but now living at Panguitch.
On the Sewer river, in Iron county, Utah.
Nr Knight arrived here ON Saturday,
having been eleven days on the road,
although when the roads are good the
trim can be made in four days. Between
Antelope Springs and Desert Springs is
= desert 80 miles wide, and it was upon
hi, desert that Mr.. knight experienced
GREAT deal of difficulty. Night overlook
him about seven miles this side of Des.
art Springs, and it being SO dark that be
conld not find the road, and was COM
nslled to tie up until morning. He COW
sarsd his horses with blankets, and in
order to keep from freezing he
was obliged to continue walking
around his wagon all night.
He says the snow on the entire
route from Phoebe to the Sewer is from
one to two feet deep. Our informant
Owes no hattering account of the mining
outlook on the sewer. He brings some
information of the prospecting party
which left here on the 25th of September
j. L. and L. 5. Smith, John d. Boyd
and John Pattie-who were at Panguitch,
n small settlement on the Sewer. ct which
placs Mr.. Knight resides and is engaged
in merchandising. He left yesterday by
sleigh, taking with him stock of goods.
He found such good bargains in dry
goods. underclothipg, tea, tobacco
and other articles that he would
rather purchase them here than at Salt
Lake. He reported a large number of
teams on the road, laden with merchan-
disc for Phoebe merchants; besides Utah
wagons coming here with apples and
other farm produce. Fish nre abundant
in the Sewer, and Mr.. Knight expects to
be able to supply the people with trout.
He expects to return to Phoebe about the
10Th of January. From Panguitch to
Salt Lake, which lies little east Of
north, the distance is about 240 miles
from Phoebe, which lies little north of
west from Panguitch, the distance is 14O
miles.
ASAD CAsE.-John Bolston, q middle
aged man and blacksmith by trade, has
for some time occupied cabin back of
McCannon street. He lived alone, and
last week was taken sick-so much so
that he could not get out Of bed. In this
helpless condition the unfortunate man
remained for two or three days, suffering
the horrors of hunger, thirst and GOLD.
An acquaintance came to cabin near by
and inquired for him. He was directed
to Bolston's cabin, and on entering it
found that Bolston had almost persisted
Of cold and exposure. Charley Dough-
erty, day laborer, who lives near by,
generously took Bolston into his own
cabin, and has since been caring for him.
Dr.. Deal vas subsequently called in and
prescribed the proper remedies. Bolston
has been unable to speak since 2 O'Clock
Yesterday morning, and be is also de-
lirious.
A New DopGE.-Various are the expe-
dents restored to by impecunious indi.
viduals to obtain square meal without
paying for it. But Phoebe impecunios.
ity has given birth to q new dodge which
is worth recording as additional evidence
that the demands of hunger brightens
the wits. As perfect "dead beat" as
ever sponged his way through the world
came into a restaurant, and after partak-
ing Of hearty meal with evident gusto,
threw himself back in his chair, to all
appearances went to sleep, being as was
supposed, in state of helpless intoxica-
ton. For time all efforts to arouse
him were without avail, and finally he
was elected from the house.
CONSTITUTIONAL. A few mornings
since, n gentleman came into a popular
restaurant, and while speaking in an e1.
cited manner of another person, said he
was "the d--est liar in seven States r'
friend Of the gentleman first referred
to objected to his bluntness of speech,
and mildly told him that it was moi
proper to say that man was liar; il
would be better to say that he labored
under constitutional inability to speal
the truth. Constitutional" is good.
The FEELINa.-Among the many Cali
fornians resident in Phoebe the creates
interest is manifested in regard to thu
pending Senatorial struggle in Caltfor
MIA. Gentlemen Of all the differen
shades OF politics are on the alert for an,
information, or even rumor, concerning
matters at Sacramento. The situation i
freely discussed, and it is not unlikel,
mat some money or other valuable con
sideration will change hands on the re
suit: We shall endeavor to keep on
readers fully advised.
