seen by u card in this issue, a co-partner-
ship has b en- formed by B. +. Sides and
James S. Smith, under the name and
style of James S. Smith e. Co., for the
purpose of transacting commission
stock business. The firm must take
rank at the outset as one of the strongest,
most reliable and trustworthy in the State.
OF the capacity and integrity of these
gentlemen as dealers in money and Sc
curities 1t is unnecessary to speak; they
have both long been identified with Pr
oche and her most important enterprises,
and are known to be safe as counselors
III making Investments and prompt and
correct in transacting business. Their
place of business is on Main street, oppo-
site the office Of Wells, Fargo x Co.
The ARTISAN WELL PRoJkcT.-If the
ar,esan we'll project fails Of success it
will be because water canuot be obtained
in this vicinity by boring, for we never
knew local enterprise to meet with
more general favor than it does. 1t will
certainly result in settling the question
one way or the other. There are very
few citizens Of Phoebe who will not take
more or less stock, as all are anxious to
have the problem solved ut the earliest
moment, and many view it as good
investment.
TIMES GETTING LIvELY.-There has
been very decided improvement in bust
ness in Phoebe in the last week, and a
more cheerful feeling prevails than we
have before known for months. New
and extensive improvements are in con-
temptation, and the feeling of confidence
is very general. This is more the result
of rich strikes in several mines in the
camp than Of the present activity in the
stock market-which is considered here
IS purely speculative and temporary in
character.
WHY Is This THus?-The Postoffice at
st. George, a hundred miles southeast
OF here, has been made money order
office; and st. George is not place Of
over one-third the population, of not
one-tenth the business, Of Phoebe, to
which the money-order system has not
yet been extended We can't under.
stand this; it mystities us; but we believe
Phoebe would be made money-ordel
Office if the favor were asked for in the
right way.
ROLLING OuT.--Almost every team
leaving Phoebe for the railroad, either fol
Leli or Palisade, carries away working
men from this camp. 1t looks to us like
folly for those who have weathered it
through the dull times OF winter to leave
now, Just as the loug-looked-for better
days are dawning. 1t is safe to predict
that many OF those now leaving will wish
themselves back here within sixty days
IMPROVEMENTS. In every part of towr
buildings are being erected, some o.
which are costly structures. Mr.. Myers
