Phoebe Mining Ito ms.
From the Record OF Al ,rll ia.l

From what We could ! earn, the po-
sition In the Raymond ,E Ely proper
has changed but little since our last
weeks report. Yesterday there were
a number of assays made froai rich orc
taken from the old Phoebe Phoenix
claitn, but Of course II swallow does
not make a summer, and q good many
assays of rich ore would neither make,
q large or profitable vein. In The
workings Of the past week. the 1900
foot level IL advanced to 20 feet. The
tenth level Ia looking some better.
The ledge In the face, though not
large, shows some extremely rich ore.
but vet there Ia not enough oil 1t to
warrant any particular fellcitation.
| Nevertheless, In spite Of all the dis
~couraginc events OF the past few
weeks, the condition Of the Raymond
& Ely Is full Of anticipations for Inn
provement. Tho ledge struck In the
Page & Panaca Ia certainly M exten-
sion OF the old Raymond s Ely vein.

sources OF disturbance that 1t was still
there. This IL one Of the most charm
Ing indications now revealed by the
condition Of the mines rs Is known.
In the l2O0.foot level the cross-cut Is
being pushed rs rapidly rs possible.
II Is now In 70 feet and Is expected to
cut the ledge In about l25 or l30 feet
from the shaft.

In the east drift the face shows q

In the west drift OIL the same level,

level the east drift Is In 702 feet, but
nothing can he said fayorably Of tho

Ing sunk 100 feet east Of the shaft Is
down l05 feet, and the bottom looks
well. but with no positive strata OF ore.

FACTS.

with a sublime confidence In lis Sc
cure position regarding the saw dust
question the California Legislature
having adjournedi, and animated by
n supreme aud most commendablc de-
sire to seem consistent, the Truckee
RepuJliedn returns to the fray. IL al

proving-that never until this year
has there been any scarcity Of trou, In

ests Of the sawmill men, who would
perhaps have to sxpend n few hum
dred dollars to avoid the commission
Of this most ilagrant nuisance, but
again, speaking from observation, we
affirm that wherever, upon any clear
stream in which aleno the speckled
trout Is found, mills have been erected
for saving pine and hemlock lumber,
and the waters filled with refuse there
from, there has been a marked and
steady dimlnutlon Of tho number oil

In certain small streams OF the Eastern
States, they have been totally annlhi-
lated. This effect Is not only well es-
tablished by the experience OF all an'
glcrs, but Il moreover reasonable. The
spsckled trout, such as frequent the
streams coming from the Sierra, are
very like those OF the Eastern States.
They arc never found in stagnan' OF
turbld waters, {. G., they are not indi'
gcnous to such streams. whsnever
the waters OF n stream become too
filthy for their taste, they emigrate o.

STREET MANNERS IN PARIS.

When pretty woman goes out alone in
the streets of Paris, the chances are that she
will be accOsted by some gallant, especially
If she loiters to look in the shop windows.
There is exemption in homelY face and
forbidding exterior; also age. To the
pretty young American this is one of the
greatest drawbacks to her enjOyments, accus-
toned rs she is to out-of-dOors freedom, and
to attack the rude sex rather than to be at
tackled by it. Thus, that serpent, man. pre-
vents our daughters Of Eve from wandering
through her Paradise. Freedom from the
annoyance may be purchased at the price Of
green goggles and cork-screw ringlets; but
the price OF liberty in such case is exorbi-
tant, and not to be thought Of. An exasper
atOd beauty, the other day, said that man
Is a hateful creature, anyhow, and it's pity
wo cannot do without him." and all those
who have been subjected to the same street
attacks doubtless repeat the same thing in
chorus. There is saftey only in being con-
voyed; the pretty woman must put herself
under the flag Of the woman-of-war called
the bOnne, for this flag is recognized and re-
spected by all the piratical cruisers about the
streets lying in wait for booty.

due in a great measure to the labors Of this

fore, Aunt had given the boy one; to-day he
wanted another, but Aunt Jane had gone
from home-her drawers were locked. The

thoughtless of the consequences, finds n key,
unlocks Aunt james drawer and gives the
boy pear, with the very solemn injunction,
You mustn't tell Aunt; fyou do she won't

cent process, repeated few times, or other
analogous ones, will scarcely fail of making
both a liar and thief of the pupil. Precept
is worth nothing applied to children; be-
cause they cannot properly comprehend and
appreciate it; but example is just what their
expanding mind can grasp and, having imi
tation large. it is forcibly impressed on the
plastic mind, and is as it were, ingrained
into the mental constitution; and, therefore,
rs u rule, stands by them through the rough
and boulder-encumbered paths of their lives.

not, stand by them through life
