srocxs-.Dowp. down thew On

STocKs-.DowD, down they go. The
crowds that used daily to beseige the
bulletin boards where the stock lists are
exposed, are now no longer to be seen.
The continued depression tells its tale,
and men that have invested ct high
figures do not feel happy. On the other
hand, the bears are jubilant. One can
hear their muttered II told you so" on
every side. 1t is all very we'll. We sup
pose they must have their day like the
rest of the folks, but it will not always be
so. The time will come. when a rising
market will bring the laugh on the other
side. Then the cry will be, "Then,
could have bought such a stock at SO
much, and now see where it is" This
will always be the case. Every mining
camp has to have its ups and downs. In
lS64-5, after the crash in Virginia stocks,
verybody said that the bottom bad fell
out OF the Comstock, and predicted all
manner of disasters. The GROWERS had
their day, and then they found out to
their surprise that the bottom had not
fallen out and was still there. This will
be the experience of Phoebe, and those
who have the patience and courage, and
we may add, the ability to hold on, we
believe will reap rich harvest in the
end.
WARNING uP.-The near approach of
the several State and County Conven-
tons is bringing things to focus. Can
didates are numerous and increasing
daily. There are any number Of folks
that say that they are ready to serve the
dear people in almost any capacity, if
they can only get chance. Button.
holipg is now in order aud various and
frequent are the interviews OF folks that
have an anxiety for official position.
Candidates seem to think that the thing
is getting serious and are commencing to
marshal their forces. Primaries. con-
ventions, etc.. are now all the go, and
before long matters will begin to warm
up in good earnest.
BuMpT1oUs. - Yesterday q team on
Lowner Main street concluded they had
gone far enough, and obstinately refused
to bulge. Whipping and coaxing proved
utterly useless. and to move the horses
positively refused. At last one OF the
by-standers bethought himself of Q bril-
liant expedient and ignited bunch of
fire-crackers and threw 1t under the
horses. That was enough: away the
team went, 30 suddenly that the driver
was jerked off bis seat. He did not fall
to tie ground. however. but kept hold OF
the lines, and managed to bring the team
up without damage.
MUssINa. evening bad whisky
and meanness caused Q couple Of men to
indulge in the luxury of a little set-to on
Main street. The fuss was promptly
quelled by some outsiders who insisted
on the combatants going to work in a
business like way. One of the fightists
said that he did not make a business of
that kind Of thing and subsidized. His
opponent followed suit.
DANoERous.-The liability to fire from
badly arranged stove.pipes is daily being
exemplihed. Yesterday the lining of a
house on McCannon street caught fire,
and had it not been for the instant
assistance that was on hand, the building,
and perhaps several others, would have
been destroyed. Our citizens cannot be
too careful In this respect.
RAc1No.-On August 6 We expect that
the races at the Four. Mile House will at.
tract large crowd Of visitors. The en-
tries have not closed, and as yet we have
not learned who will be the competitors,

Jockey Club will be contested in spir.
tied manner. Everything will be on the
square, and good tune may be antici.
