Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-05-28
r,,s dav before Yesterday it was wind

DIR II Suouc
TIE day before yesterday it was windy
and dusty, and we growled about that,
and Yesterday it was windy and wet,
With occasional spats OF snow, and we
oro oo;pq TO grumble about that also.
This thing of getting folks accus-
.omoa 10 warm weather, and then turn
. lack Frost loose on them, is no joke.
Wost of our citizens had taken their
lives ont of the saloons, restaurants
and sitting rooms, and when this young
Winter made its appearance it Set every
body shaking and shiverlng, and hurting
ali sorts of anathemas at their stupidity
in taking their stoves down in climate
like this. To be provided against all
contingencies in Nevada, one wants a
hinge wood pile, good stove and well
stocked ice house, for it is sure to do
one of two things, and you never know
which, or when one condition will sue
coed the other. One time you will think
YOU are burning up, and need glacial re-
freshment to cool your throbbing brow,
and in few hours you will require
roaring fire and heavy overcoat. Well,
there is one comfort, if variety is always
charming, We are pretty sure to be
charmed, for we have variety enough,
Heaven knows, in the weather line.
A BLACK EYE.-By a friend of ours
who has just returned from Eureka, we
learn that the folks abroad are giving
Phoebe a terrible black eye. This does
not surprise us at all. Times here have
been getting duller and duller for some
time; still that argues nothing against
the future prosperity of Phoebe. Every
mining camp has its ups and downs,
periods OF undue excitement and as little
warranted depression. For her popula-
ton, the mines of Phoebe, even under
the present unfavorable auspices, are
producing no inconsiderable quantity Of
bullion When the great companies
reach paying ground in their lower
levels, then the black will no longer
obscure Pioche's visual organs, and then
the outsiders will be Just as ready to
unduly puff this locality as they are now
disposed to underrate it. We have every
hope that the immediate future of Phoebe
will be busy and prosperous one, and
therefore during the undesirable present
shall do the best we can, patiently wait
ing for and fully believing that the good
time coming is not far distant.
NINE SoLD.-We are informed that the
owners of Vulture mine, situated in this
district, have concluded arrangements
BY which they sell to parties in San
francisco, who will soon commence its
Development. If all reports concerning
are true the most sanguine expectations
of its purchasers will he fully realized.
The merits of the mine being known
,nly to q few, it has lain idle long
ime, but its locators finally having been
made an offer, concluded to sell, rather
han trust to future contingencies or at
tempt its development through their own
limited means.
FIRE Enthusiastically aboat p. M,
the fire alarm sounded, and the boys
turned out on the instant. The fire,
what there was of it, was in the rear of
the brick store Mt the corner of Main and
Lacour streets. The aid of the depart
Ment, however, was not required to ex.
tlnsuish it. We are glad the firemen
We're so ready, and advise outsiders to
let them alone and permit them to per-
form their duty without being bothered
with advice and directions from persons
who have no business with them.
CRoQUET.-We see that the Court.
house folks have cleared off space next
to the building, and formed it into a Gro.
ques ground. We saw party of ladies
and gentlemen playing there the other
way and looked on for few moments.
we thought 1t was peculiarly game for
Juveniles or very young ladies' and gen.
Yemen, out we now see that it forms an
interesting diversion for the mature in
years, which shows we labored under a
false impression.
eioh'-We regret to find that our
esteemed fellow townsman, Mr.. Young,
a 10 sun sick, though yesterday, towards
91tehing, he appeared somewhat better.
n me mas our best wishes for speedy and
perfect recovery.
