FIRE. - About 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the sound of the steam whistles
of nearly all the hosting works and the
changing Of the fire bell brought out the
population Of Phoebe en- masse. One
would not think there are so many peo-
pie here until you see them blocking up
the street. As the smoke and flame
could be plainly seen rising from Panaca
Flat, all rushed up there, and found that
a portion of the wood pile of the Page &
Panaca was on fire. The boys just went
for that pile and pulled il to pieces in no
time, and by the aid of the contents of a
water cart standing near managed to ex-
tingush the burning brands. Foremost
in the good work we noticed Z. Hamilton,
Russ Scott aud many other well.known
citizens. The wind was blowing almost
a gale at the time, but luckily it blew the
flames from the hosting works. 1t was,
however, narrow escape, and during
the windy weather will be a caution for
all parties to keep bright look out for
sparks from chimneys and stove pipes.
AS regards the latter, we once again re-
quest our citizens to look carefully after
them, and see that they are safely and
properly arranged. just now it would
be rough on US Pioohers to lose the town
by fire.
The PIocaE. 1t affords us sincere
qualification to be able to announce that
our friend T. r. Butles has been appoint.
ed Superintendent of the Phoebe Silver
Mining Company. Mr.. Butler has resid-
ed some time in Phoebe. and during that
time has been intimately connected with
the operations of the company. of whose
works he is now Superintendent, and
has thus become thoroughly acquainted
with the property. This fact alone would
give him much advantage, but when
added to that bis energy, integrity, bust.
ness tact and sound head, it shows at
once that Mr.. Butler is the right man in
the right place. We wish him success
and that the affairs OF the company will
prosper under his direction.
FIRE ALMosT.-R. S. Schofeld in
forms us that about o a O. clock yesterday
morning he was passing the rear of the
Star Restaurant, when he noticed that
some gunny sacks and stick of cord
wood lying close to the building were on
fire. He eXtinguished the flames, but
not without some difficulty. Mr. Soho.
field says that from the appearance of
the affair it looked to him as if some
evil-disposed persons were trying to set
fire to the premises.
PowDEg.-In our advertising columns
will be found some notices from our
friend, Phi. Felsenthal. He has just re-
ceived very large consignment of Du-
points iron key blasting powder, coal
oil, Duffield hams, besides varied stock
Of general groceries. Mr.. Felsenthal's
reputation for selling goods at the lowest
possible living rates and of the best quail
ity, is too well established to need re-
mark. We will however say that he is
still adhering to his old style, as all bis
friends will find who call on him.
No Alphabetically We were again
without our paper mail. This has hap
pened several times lately, and is very
annoying, though we suppose it cannot
be helped. We are informed that the

ton. Any way, whatever is ths reason
We hope that it will be shortly renewed
for this irregular mode of receiving our
exchanges, is anything but agreeable.
