Nor SO BAD.-lt has been the custom
Of late to complain greatly of the dull
times in Phoebe, which probably seemed
the more apparent, as our citizens were
nsed to such crowded busy town.
There is no disputing the fact that things
here are much quieter than they were
formerly, but on actual comparison with
the other mining centers Of the State
excepting Virginia, of course) Phoebe
appears in a much more favorable light
than many in this community suppose.
Yesterday we were talking to A. Fife,
who has lately been looking round the
country, and he tells US that in Eureka
matters are quite dull, not much money
in circulation, and employment scarce
In regard to the latter point, Wa saw not
long since letter from a miner who had
visited Eureka for the purpose of better
ing his chances, and he warned his
friends not to try the same experiment,
for he said employment was difficult to
obtain, and for every opening there
was large number of applicants. There
is no doubt that the future of Phoebe de-
ponds in great measure on the princi-
pal mines obtaining pay ore in reasona-
bly, large quantities below the water
level. II the opinions of our Oldest
miners and of experts are correct, there
is also but little doubt that ore of that
character and quantity will be obtained.
The great Phoebe vein is certainly true
assure, from which several millions of
dollars have already been extracted. To
use the expression of an old friend, the
pay ore found in such large quantities
did not drop from the clouds, but filled
the assure from below. and it is not at
all likely that other deposits of equally
valuable ore will be found at greater
depths. This is the experience of Vir-
ginia and Austin, and there is every rea-
son to suppose it will be the case in
Phoebe. We, therefore, believe that all
our citizens have to do will be- to tide
over the period Of depression, and they
will be well rewarded for their persever-
ance. This seems more especially rea-
sonable when the testimony of those
who leave Phoebe and return, shows that
the dull times of Phoebe compare we'll
with the ordinary condition of things in
other towns. We are not making these
remarks with a view Of depreciating
Eureka or any other town, to all Of
which we wish every success, but simply
to make the suggestion to the croakers
and diecontented. they may very easily
go farther and far worse.
No STAoE.-By q telegram received at
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S office the intelli-
gence was afforded that no stage would
arrive yesterday afternoon. The cause
Of the detention is the washing away of
the road and bridge near Washburn' s
Station by cloud burst. This is pecu-
liarly unfortunate, as no mail arrived on
Wednesday. so that it will be three clear
days between the arrival OF the two
mails, that is if that due this afternoon
comes to hand as expected. This is an.
noying to the business men OF Phoebe,
and particularly SO to us, as we have re.
ceived no State exchanges, except the
Eureka Sentinel, since Sunday.
WArER.-Under the head Of "New To-
day" will be found the advertisement of
NJ. Abadie, of the Nevada Market, Of
fering fresh and pure we'll water delivered
at low rates. The water is obtained from
well 456 feet in depth and is of excel
lent quality. well adapted for drinking,
culinary and laundry purposes. Those
who desire to be served with this water
should apply to NJ. Abadie, Nevada
Market, Main stseet, opposite Lacour.
SKIRMIsHING.-Las evening couple
OF men had dispute in the Eagle
Bakery, Main street. which terminated
in lively little skirmish, in which sew
eral of the windows suffered, but the
combatants were unscathed. They had
o gay time for q minute or two, collected
crowd, and then subsidized like sensible
men.
Cor BAcK.-We had the pleasure yes.
terday Of meeting and having a long
conversation with an old residenter, A,
Fife, who seemed as glad to get back as
his friends were to see him, and that was
considerable.
A CLOUD BURST, Of very severe char
acter, occurred near Washburn's Station,
on the Hamilton road. 1t carried away
the bridge and washed out the road con
sideraby.
