FtGHTs.-The martial spirit Is not
quite dying out from the boys. and an
occasional game at fsticuffs varies the
monotony of these piping times. Yes
terday morning there was little engage
mept, one the day before, and another
on the day before that. There was moth
inc very serious about any OF them, and
they probably only occurred through a
lsudsbe desire to get up an excitement.
On Sunday afternoon, on the hill below
the Washington & Creole, a couple of
miners had set.to. The principal weap-
oDs used were lunch cans, and the way
the boys ratified those old cans round
each others heads elected the warmest
epcpniums from select crowd OF ad-
miring friends. After they had broken
the tins and each others heads, they dis
covered that the object OF dispute was
not worth the trouble, and each marched
off to reft. That is about all the fight
ing items we could strike during the last
day or two. .......

MISERALoG1sr. - Mr.. Whitehill the
State Mineralogist, has been stopping il
Phoebe for the past few days, and left
on Tuesdays stage for Silver Park ant
Nevada Districts, from thence to Cherry
Creek, etc. Mr.. Whitehill examined o
number of our principal mines and ex
pressed the conviction that the weir
would be found as productive as ever be
low the water line. We think so toe
and hope that the future will show Mr.
Whitefill's judgment to be correct.
BoMBs.-The amusement that seemed
most in vogue last evening. was placing
a Chinese bomb near box on which
somebody was sitting, and then watching
and laughing at the start of the victims
when the burned thing went of. The
end of these practical jokes will be that
somebody will get mad and then muss
will occur, when some one might get
hurt. The best way is to leave such
rough jokes alone altogether.
FIRE. = Yesterday morning about S
o'clock. quite volume of smoke was
seen issuing from Chinese wash house
near Panaca Flat. Some of the neigh.
bors aroused the Cinnamon, who were
fast asleep, and others brought water
By the exertions of some eight or ter
men who happened to be near at the time
the house was saved, though it was g
very narrow escape.
LATE.--Both the Salt Lake and Ham.
ilton stages started much later thar

We were informed that the delay was
