SILVER FROM CREBCENT CITY.-We
last evening had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. J. A. Bidwell, from Crescent City,
Superintendent of the Crescent mill at
that place. He brought in for shipment
2,4OO ounces of bullion. This is the
first silver received from Pahranagat
District for about two years. 1t was
produced from ore from the List and
Balbach ledges-about an equal quantity
from each. The Crescent is now in con-
slant operation, and there is considera-
BILE ore on the ground from these two
Lodges. Work is prosecuted with full
forces in both, large quantities Of ore
being hoisted, and it is reasonable to
suppose the future bullion shipments
from Pahranagat will make an impor-
tant item in the silver expectation of
Southeastern Nevada.
ACCORDING to a private dispatch re-
ceived here last night, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bates left Salt Lake City for Phoebe yes
terday morning. They are most favora-
bly, considered by the dramatic critics of
the Pacific coast, throughout which they
seem to be especial favorites. We have
no doubt their talent will be appreciated
here-they will certainly be literally pat
ronized. True merit never goes begging
for support in the Far West, and it is as
well understood, too, as in the centres of
refinement in the East. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that We have no better theatre
building in which to receive these distin-
guished performers.
APPREHENSION FELT.-Apprehension is
felt for the fate Of prospectors known
to be out in the snow storms. Not ex-
pecting such severe weather, and, of
course, carrying as little dead weight as
possible, it is thought they are but scant-
lily supplied with clothing and blankets.
There must be several hundred out
MRS. H. E. BAIL announces this morn
ing in our advertising columns that she
has opened a irst-class restaurant on
lower Main street. Mrs. Bail formerly
made great success in Boise City, Ida
no, in the restaurant business, and will
undoubtedly do well here.
GEORGE G. JOHNSTON informs us that
in order to supply his customers with
water through the epizootic visitation,
he is willing to pay the Floral Spring

The woman on Lacour street who a.
tempted to commit suicide says she has
no thanks for those who interfered to
save her, and that she will yet destroy
herself. Is there not q probability Of
insanity?
POSTMASTER BARNES has just received
three hundred postoffice box locks. Ev-
erybody can soon carry the key to his
own mail, as they will be at once attached.
THE snowfall in the Pahranagat Valley.
we learn from parties just in from there,
is unprecedented. In the main valley it
is said to be from two to three feet deep.
The success Of the late milling opera
tons in Pahranasat district has stimula
ted anew prospecting in that section, ant
claim-owners feel very sanguine.
FoUE mules belonging to man named
Odds, who has been engaged hauling

praiseworthy determination on the part
of the contractors.
