The San Francisco Chronicle of the Goth
publishes letter from this place, pur-
porting to have been written by miner.
in which the Phoebe mines are dspar
aged and the RECORD is charged with
having Published exaggerated statements
in regard to them. The Chronicle might
have been excused from publishing this
effusion of a crack-brained rhymester-
whose vanity has led him to acknowledge
Its Authorship to every citizen of Phoebe,
vino was patient enough to listen to his
acknowledgements It not that GENTLE
men OF San Francisco of veraclty are con-
stantiy coming to and returning from Pr
oche who could have informed its editors
that the RECORD has been fair and reli-
able exponent OF the general business
and mining prosps cts of this district.
Times are dull in Phoebe. and some good
working men may be out of employment

daily for the last six weeks. But this de-

result of the bearing" man. pulations of
stock brokers i'll San Francisco, BY whom
the Chronicle seems to be subsidized, for
it is an undeniable fact, aud one which no
responsible citizen of Phoebe will attempt
to dispute, that there are now larger aud
richer bodies of ores exposed in our
mines than were ever before developed.
The Chronicles 'disgusted miner" is a
piayed-out literary blk, who never
struck an honest blow with q pick in his
life, and who imagines every time the
moon changes that he is another Macau-
lay or Byron, and it was in one of these
crazy moods, and at the same time smart
ing probably under the reflection that his
genius is not appreciated in this part of
the world, that he wrote that false and
slanderous letter.
THEFT AND INGRATITUDE.-Two Slavo-
man miners, rooming on Meadow Valley
street, took pity on an impecunious
Greek, who goes by the name of George
Kean, and took him to their room and
furnished him with sleeping accommo-
dations. The day Of the Catholic Sun.
day School festival the Greek said he
believed he would go out to the picnic
as he had no work to do, and tine Slavo-
mans, as usual, left the room in his
charge, and went to their daily labor.
Instead of going to the picnic, the
Greek broke open and went through the
trunk of the friends to whom he had for
several days been indebted for a home.
and distracted S35 in coin-every cent
OF money they had. He then procured
cayuse, and WAS last seen on the road
to Salt Lake. George Kean" is mid
dle-aged man, with heavy whiskers and
beard. of swarthy complexion, and speaks
in broken English. Being Greek by
birth, he can easily be identified when
he reaches Salt Lake, and we advise the
police OF that city to keep sharp eve
on him. A man who would steal from his
benefactors, rs he did, is dangerous in
any community.
SAN FRANCISCO DlsrRIcT.-From Mr..
j. Z. Lucas, of this place, who is inter-
ested in San Francisco district, we learn
the following facts in regard to that new
silver and gold camp: The principal
lodges are the Morning Star, Palmetto,
Hidden Treasure, Southern Cross, Com.
bination, Overman, Pride OF the West,
Florence and King Fisher, all Of which
are being developed. The main shaft
OF the Florence isdown lao feet, at which
depth the ledge is feet between walls
and shows ~ feet Of ore; the ore is of
the base class, and carries both gold and
silver, assays ranging from $50 to 5000,
gold and silver inclusive. There are
about one hundred men in San Francis
co district, nearl, all of whom are inter.
ested in the property they are engaged
in developing. The working facilities
are excellent, wood and water being at
hand in abundance. Capital is only
needed to prove the richness of San
Francisco district by actual results. 1t
is about 80 miles northeast of Phoebe,
the new Salt Lake mail route running
within three miles OF the camp. Some
of the mines have been bonded.
The VARIErIls.-The Variety Troupe
will open an engagement tonight in
hall suitably arranged for the purpose
on Meadow Valley street. The stage and
scenery have been constructed on the
broad-gauge plan, and every facility is
provided Tor the convenience and accom-
mediation of patrons. In the Troupe
there is some genuine talent, and we
have no doubt they will be very liber-
ally patronized. Private boxes and re-
served seats can be secured-private
boxes So, reserved seats 81, and par
quette 80 cents.
SPRUcE DISTRICT. This district is near
San Francisco, being about IS miles
northeast Of Phoebe. The ores are of the
smelling class, and the lodges are very
large and we'll defined. A smelling fur
mace is being erected, and Spruce is ex-
pected to soon develop into an important
camp.
No LONGER DouBTEp.-A gentleman
just up from San Francisco tells US that
mining men down there no longer doubt
the truth OF our reports in regard to the
recent great strikes in our mines. Why
stocks are not rated at their intrinsic
value we will not try to explain.
OPPOSITION STAGE LINE REpoRTED.-It
is reported that a gentleman Of great ex-
perience as stage proprietor in this
State and Idaho Territory contemplates
putting on an opposition line between
here and the Central Pacific, but we can
not vouch for the truth OF the rumor.
GRANT DIsrRIcT.-Some prospectors
arrived last night from Grant District. in
the western part of the county, bringing
in some rich looking ore. The ores there
are claimed to be of the free milling class.
