p,x.ursr.-A number Of our citizens

PkNAMIST.-A number OF our citizens
have still got the fever. One party left
yesterday and two others will go to-day.
We hope they will all make their piles,
hut unless this excitement is different
,rom most OF them land We have person.
slly had experience of goodly numbeo
thew will find it a very CHI quered affair.
Far our part, we intend to pin our for
,unes 70 old Phoebe. Though this is the
ssason of our tribulation, our faith is not
bit weakened but that this camp will
come out all right. OF course, the issue
tor veal or for woe all depends upon the
,ssulrs Of exploring the depths OF the
psvmopd & Ely vein below the water
iayel. That exploration cannot be made
mill the machinery for pumping the
eater ia in motion. That may yet take
some time to effect. 1t is huge under
tsking to procure, bring hither and set
M the vast, ponderous and complicated
machinery required to raise a large
stream of water from depth oil .2Oo OF
1900 feet beneath the surface. But all
that can be done to expediate the matter
is being done. and that is all any one
can expect. Unfortunately the weather
will be very important factor in any
calculation that may be made as to when
the machinery will be ready for work. II
as sometimes happens in this State, we
should have several weeks Of fine, clear
weather, the roads will get into condi.
ton that will permit the transportation
Of the weighty castings and pieces of
machinery required. II this should for
tunately be the case, it is probable that
the works will bs completed near the
time originally anticipated. In any case
we shall have to possess our souls with
patience and do the best we can, for, in
our opinion, those who hold on to the
end will be well rewarded for their faith.
CoMMENcEp.-Yesterday Colonel Allen
commenced his duties as Justice of the
Peace and looked as dignifed as he an
nouncsd his rulings as if he were a mem
Der of the Supreme Court of the United
States. At White Pine the Colonel gave
much satisfaction while performing SINH
lar duties. and we have no doubt he will
do the same here. We stepped into the
court two or three time yesterday, while
horse case was going on, and found the
lawyers badgering each other, and both
pitching into the witnesses in quite
lively fashion, while his Honor looked on
as complacently as hen with newly
hatched brook OF chicks.
REMEMBER that on Thursday evening
the Phoebe Minstrels will reopen for the
Christmas season. To the old estab.
lished favorites are added several tai
ented performers, whose efforts will GER
tsinly give great satisfaction. The COM
pany is industriously rehearsing and will
present their entertainment in excellent
style. We hope their exertions will be
rewarded by q crowded house.
Enthusiastically morning, while pro-
ceeding along. Main street. Capt. Lub-
books horse fell, and in doing 80, hurt
bis rider considerably. DR.. Deal, who
was called to attend Capt. Lubbock, says
his injuries. though painful, are not
dangerous. A badly sprained ankle be-
ing about the worst, though he suffered
some severe commissions. We hope that
the Captain will speedily recover from
bis injuries.
EcoNsTRUcTED.-Jack Gimer arrived
by last nights Hamilton stage, He tells
that the firm of Gilmer e. Salisbury have
bought out the interest of Travis Bros. in
the Phoebe and Hamilton stage line.
They intend to reconstruct the whole
outfit and put everything in tirst-class
order. Tbs trips viii be made with reg
ularity, and every care taken for the COM
fort and safety of passengers.
MINING LAw.-The other day we called
the attention of our readers to the fact
that the time for which the United States
Mining law was expended, will expire on
the first OF January next. Those who
may have any necessary work to do on
their claims in order to hold them had
better be about it, for the time is getting
very short.
INJuRED.--A report has reached town
that Tom McMasters, who was superin.
tending the removal OF the Mendha mil
to one of the new camps in Nye county,
was seriously hurt by his horse falling
with him. How true the rumor is, We
do not know, but give it just as It reached
US.
A PASSAGE at arms occurred yesterda,
afternoon on Main street. The parties
were separated before any harm wal
done beyond scattering blow or two.
RESERVED SEATS for the entertainment
of the Phoebe Minstrels can be engage,
at the Box Office, Hanlys Hall, thi
