BADLY SoLD.-0n Friday morning
three youngsters the eldest not over .
years of age started from Phoebe on
foot with the firm determination OF meet
ing the incoming Hamilton stage. The
eldest boy put up this nice little job and
inveigled the other boys into going on
this excursion trip. They walked, and
walked, and walked las waIkisis they
were a success, until the Four mile
Wells was reached. There they rested
in the happy anticipation Of soon hear
ing the rolling of the wheels of Gilmer *
Salisbury's coach. They waited, and
waited until evening came on, and fin
ally made up their minds that they
would not wait for any coach that did
not come IN on time. They arrived in
Phoebe late at night. hearsick and foot
sore, and in dread of the blessing that
would be bestowed on them by their fond
parents. but instead, their punishment
being deemed sufficient, gave them only
strawberries and cream for supper and
sent them to bed. They are down on
late coaches now and forever.
GAMBLING LIcENsE.-Andy Fife, Sher-
iii of Lincoln County, is in quandary
at the present time in regard to the
gambling license. The parties now
dealing faro in Phoebe, who are respon-
sible men, object to paying $500 quar-
ter on account of there now beinga case
before the Supreme Court to test the
legality of the new law. They are will
ling to pay that amount if the case is
decided against sporting men, but in the
meantime they do not wish TO pay their
money when, if the case was decided in
their favor, they would never receive any
of 1t back. How our Sheriff will arrange
it we do not know.
NEWARK MILL.-This mill is now hay
ing a larger quantity of ore shipped to it
for reduction than ever before. The
reputation it has earned for working ore
to close percentage is inducing chic
riders and all others who are extracting
ore to give this mill trial. The Mead
ow Valley Mining Company recently
shipped large quantity to it for re-
duction.
