Nor FEozEx.-In two particulars our
item respecting the fire which occurred
a, Mr. Wilkins on Thursday was not
correct. First, in that the water mains
we're not frozen and, second. that the
Fire Department got stream on the
burning building. We were not present,
and received our information from o
marty who had things considerably mixed.
Before We quit this subject We wish to |
saw we find from inquiry of Captain |
Lubbock. the watchful and efficient Su- |
psrintendent Of the Water Company,
that the main pipes are well protected |
,,ou the effects Of frost, and that there |
IS DO likelihood OF any difficulty on that |
sore. Also that the care of the hydrants
does not properly belong to the Water
Company but to the Fire Department.
though as o matter of courtesy and good
will the company has hitherto looked
after them. In order to prevent any
future difficulty about getting an imme-
date supply OF water in case of fire,
Captain Lubbock recommends that
cask be placed over each hydrant, filled
with stable litter closely packed between
the hydrsnt and the sides of the cask.
This would prevent all danger of the
hydrants being rendered useless by
severe frost. The matter is worthy the
attention OF our citizens and the De-
partment. Captain Lubbock says that
the company he represents is interested
as much ss is possible in the prosperity
OF Phoebe, and on all occasions will rem
der every assistance to provide for the
safety of the town from FIRE. We are
aware of this, and have always found
the Captain active and vigilant in taking
precautionary measures against the dan.
ger of destructive fire.
SANTA CLAus.-This frosty headed
but kindly hearted, generously disposed
parsonage is now preparing his steeds,
team Of tiny rsin-deers as fleet as the
wind and gay as q Christmas feast. for
his annual journey. The little folks ex-
pect with excited anticipations the visit
Of their benefactor and are already spec.
ulating on what they will receive.
Though Phoebe is situate far out in the
wilderness, the appearance of the stores
selling fancy goods already indicates the
approach of the great annual holidays.
They have decEed their shelves and
showcases with o tempting array Of
handsome goods appropriate for the
season, and we have no doubt that du-
ring the next few days heavy drafts will
be made upon their contents.
In about fifteen days it is expected that
the second and last Of the ponderous
spur.wheel for the Raymond & Ely will
arrive in town. When that job is &C.
complished it is thought that there will
be little or no difficulty about the rest Of
the machinery. That will come by
Palisade and Pritchard's big teams will
snake it through, hail, rain or shine.
SAN Francisco. This morning we
publish the card Of Messrs. King &
Chatten. Notariss Public AID Commis-

GoINa--Several OF our citizens are
leaving, some to take holiday trip to
California others to look how matters
appear on the Comstock and few leave
for Panamint, though the fever for the
latter place has about disappeared. Here
and there we find mild case, but the,
are getting rapidly over the attack.
