PIOCHE AND ADJACENT DIS
TRICTS.

A continuance of the activity noted
before is apparent throughout this dis
trict. Nearly all the principal mines are
being worked steadily, while every day
poets discovered. In adjoining camps
recent reports show a very gratifying
state of affairs. The abundance of ore
in Pennsylvania District, and the meas
ures now on foot to work the same,
augurs we'll for the future of that section.
The Shoshone District, about seventy
miles north and west of Phoebe, is also
looming into prominence. The Silver
Star and Wide West mines of that dis
trict give promise of great valne, and
when the camp builds up, Phoebe will
come in for its share of the prosperity,
it being the nearest point of supply.
Bristol District is also coming up, and
in addition to the furnace already at
work there-and which is taxed beyond
its capacity-two more will shortly be
erected, Mr.. Steele being about to build
small one and Charles Roe intending
to erect one after the style of the old
Mexican or basso furnace. Yves. Will
liams and host of others are busy in
the new discoveries on the west side and
report favorably. In the weekly mining
review it is the purpose of the RECORD to
give correct and authentic information
on all the principal topics of mining in.
interest. The information is obtained
from actual observation and from men Of
experience and integrity, and accordingly
can be relied upon as being correct.
