owners of stock in the mines of the dis
t,ict to know how they are progressing.
Although mine may be producing no
ore and there may be no immediate
prospect of its producing paying ore,
stockholders who are paying assessments
like to hear what is being done, that
work is going on and that the money
they are furnishing is being iudiciously
and economically expended. This being
the case, it is well for those in charge of
mines where work is being done, to be
ready to report from time TO time.
Stockholders are generally well satisfied
TO pay their proportion of the money re-
ouired for carrying out mining enter
Prise, so long as they know that their
money is being properly applied and
thew hear that the work is being diligent- |
ly prosecuted, for then they know that il |
nothing is found il is the fault of the |
Ground, and that there is nothing to be |
found at the particular point where they |
are pushing their explorations; but when
for q long time they hear nothing of |
what is being done in their mine, and |
still are asked to pay assessments, they
are very likely to conclude that the |
money furnished is being squandered,
and they soon grow tired Of the enter
Prise and refuse to continue in it. As
rule, there is little if any squandering
OF money raised for the purpose of open
ing the mines in the district. All have
so deep personal interest in the devel
opment of the mines here that the great.
est economy and energy are exercised
in the working OF them. Although it is
practicable for the reporter to visit every
mine in the district, it is an easy matter
for the Superintendent TO furnish the
required data, and ifparties at distance
feel incrednlous in regard to the reports
furnished us they have only to get some
friend whom they can trust to visit the
mines and report. All our reports from
reliable sources, and the surroundings
will make good any statement furnished
rs.
NOTWITHSTANDING Within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant OF this portion
of the Sagebrush State no Winter has
been experienced of such severity as that
which we have the temerity to hope has
passed and gone. Since the early days
of December we have had succession Of
snow storms, with only brief intervals of
fair weather. But it does seem now rs if
the worst was over. From the first days
of December till the first of March we
have had but little weather that was even
passable; but the juvenile population
had jolly time coasting, and those of
maturer years made the best of it. The
severity of the season has not resulted in
any disaster, SO far as We are able to
learn; stock generally have been able to
weather the storm, and as natural re-
suit of the heavy snow of the past we
look forward to an abundance Of grass
and good crops generally. Our edition
of the Beautiful Snow is exhausted,
but as it seems not to be in demand just
now, we do not regret the circumstance.
The following remarks of the Eureke
Sentinel apply to Phoebe; Many of the
ladies who attend the balls given in this
town complain that they cannot wear
fine or costly dresses on such occasions,
as the gentlemen do not wear gloves;
consequetly dresses Of silk and other fine
textures which are easily soiled are
dispense with by the fair sex. Gentle
men who intend going to ball should
provide themselves with "kids" If they
wish to keep In the good graces Of their
lady friends. "a hint to the wise
