portant strike on the S00-foot level of
the Raymond 4 Ely mine, and We can
now, with equal posi.iveness, state that
a strike equal to it in richness and extent
has been made in No. 3 Meadow Valley.
The ore body is many feet in width, aud
the ore is Ill of high-grade and much Of
it almost incredibly rich, some of the
assays reaching thousand dollars and
over to the ton. 1t is undoubtedly one
OF the most important mining develop
ments ever made in the State. We have
examined some of the ore and conversed
with gentlemen of undoubted veracity
who have made n careful examination of
the ore body, and the public can rest
assured this is not an exaggerated report.
And thus is it demonstrated conclusively
that the silver mines of Ely district are
practically exhaustless-thatt the ore de-
posits are richer and more extensive the
deeper they are worked.
A PIocnE MAN SHOT AND KILLEp.--The
following special to the RECORD came to
hand at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
"Sandy Station, Utah, May 13.--A
shooting ARRAY occurred here this after
noon, resulting in the killing of James
Fdwards,a man from Phoebe. Ii appears
that Edwards got into quarrel with two
others, and used very abusive language,
firing three shots, one of which struck IL
disinterested bystander, inficting a pain
full, but thought not serious, wound.
Edwards also drew q bowie-knife and
made numerous threats, resulting, as
above state d, in his being shot and in
stantly killed by some person who, up to
the present time, is unknown. Edwards
body was sent by this evenings train to

THEATER.-The theater bills for once
told the literal truth when they said that
NJ Tile Josephine was "Nevada's favorte, "
and the public OF Phoebe showed the
faith that was in them" by crowding the
house last night on the occasion of her
benefit. The fair beneficiary never ap-
peared to better advantage than in her
song and dance. ''girl with the flowing
hair" (all her own, our devil wants
to bet his weeks salary; but in her
Irish jig she carried the house by storm.
Her dancingtwas simply perfection. The
exquisite ballad kate O'Brien' was
sung with much taste and feeling by
Miss Carrie Armstrong, and the whole
company acquitted themselves admira-
bly, in their several parts Did space
permit, we should be glad to particu-
larize.
A DIsAGEEEABLE DAY.-Yesterday was
such day in Phoebe as only a native
born Webfoot could withstand with Sc
renity. The greater portion of the fore
noon we had alterations of hail and
rain, and the balance of the day the skies
were sulky and storm-threatening. About
one oclock there was, for few minutes,
a regular old-fashioned thunderstorm,
vivid lightning flashes being succeeded
by terrific peals of thunder. Gum boots,
which had been confidently thrown aside
for the season, were again brought into
requisition.
RoUGH-AND-TUMBLE.-A miner and a
Mormon teamster became involved in a
rough-and-tumble fight, yesterday after.
noon. in Boone & Dolman's corral--oHe
having charged the other with stealing
$50 in coin from him-and they had
succeeded in bruising each others heads
considerably when self-constiuted
peace commission interfered and sepa
rated them. There was no disposition
on the part Of either to renew the com
bat, and neither was arrested.
The BRISTOL SMELTER.
from Bristol assure us that the ores ant
smelter of that district have both stood
practical working satisfactorily, an(
that arrangements are being made t.

livery Of ores.
MINING IMPRovEMENTs.-We hear tina
important improvements are soon to b
made in the working facilities of mum
( Der of our mines, among which will b
the most powerful hosting works on tn
coast. The Raymond L. Ely and Meade,
Valley Companies, in particular, are pre-
y pairing to bring to the surface immens
:. quantities of ore.
