Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-09-17

F1RE.-About one O'Clock yesterday
morning fire broke out in cabin stu
ated close to the Raymond & Ely hoist
ing works, occupied by n miner named
VIM. Mahoney. A few minutes after
the alarm was given the hose OF the Ray
mond & Ely works were brought into
play, and throwing a stream OF water on
the burning building soon extinguished
the flames. Mr.. Mahoney. the occu-
pant of the cabin. was sleeping in it at
the time the fire broke ont and was
pretty badly burned about the head and
face before he could make his escape.
The value of the property destroyed is
but trifing. The fire occurred SO close
10 the Raymond & Ely works that it was
at first thought they were on fire; in fact,
for a few minutes the works were in
some danger. .
WASHINGTON & CREoLE.-The present
appearance and prospects of the Wash
ington & Creole mine are very fattering.
Yesterday we saw in Wells. Fargo &
Co. g express office seven bars of total
value of about $4,000, which was the
product of about 70 tons OF ore. Bullion
enough to make them more bars worth
$4,000 is now in the retort. NJ Tarpey,
the active and vigilant Superintendent,
informs us that during the present
month, at least SIS, 900 will be shipped
from this mine. with every prospect Of a
continuance of like yield. This is
good news, though not surprising to us,
for we have never for moment falterod
in our belief, that the mines of Phoebe
will by as profitable az ever they were.
and perhaps more so.
FROM HIKo.-Our valued friend G. G.
Heath, arrived yesterday from Hike. He
brought some bullion with him, from
ore worked at the Crescent mill. There
we're two large and one small bar, the
whole amounting in value to about $2,-
900. Mr.. Heath looks as we'll and as
Jolly as ever He reports the folks at
Hike to be jogging along very quietly.
He says they had quite fire there the
other day on Judge Wilson's premises,
the particulars OF which we have already
published. Mr.. Heath will stay in
Phoebe until after the meeting OF the
Democratic County Convention. to which
body he is delegate from Hike.
For CONSTABLE. - By announcement
in our advertising columns w. l.. Nc.
Kee states that he is candidate for the
position Of Constable OF Phoebe Town
ship. Mr.. Mckee has for some time
been engaged as special officer Of this
town, and also as Deputy Sheaf. In
this position he has given unqualified
satisfaction, and from his steady firmness
has done much to inspire evil doors with
wholesome fear of the law, when active
ly and energetically enforced. We think
Mckee would. under all circumstances.
prove steady, reliable and efficient
officer.
ExEcRABLE. - All the roads leading
into Phoebe are in most abominable
condition. In wet weather they are .
mass of mud, and in dry they are full of
rocks, ruts aud chuck holes, to such an
extent that there is no such thing as
riding or walking pleasantly. At present
the burdens OF our taxpayers are too
heavy to think of adding anything to the
load; but when brighter times come, as
We believe they shortly will, our citizens
should form road district and have the
approaches to the town put into decent
condition. "a
CoMMENDABLE. - During both the
Republican and democratic primaries
the conduct of the peace officers was
worthy OF much praise. The times were
exciting, and well calculated to create
personal difficulties, In spite of this, all
trouble OF this character was stopped at
us very commencement, and the officers,
by their vigilance, firmness and for
oearance did much to prevent any dis
turoance, and for SO we'll performing
their duty, are entitled to the thanks OF
the community.
CELEBRATING.-O Lacour street night
before last, number of our Mexican
residents celebrated the anniversary OF
the Spanish colonies renouncing their
arrogance to the mother country. The
houses were illuminated with Chinese
lanterns, anvils fired bonfires lighted
ana rejoicing generally, which was con.
tnued all yesterday.

afternoon the streets were full of mer

To-Day the Republican County Con

Tired OUT.-The streets last evenin
