at the residence of Mr.. Lucas on Panaca
Flat. with view to the formation of a
joint stock company for the purpose of
sinking a prospecting shaft at some ap-
proved point in this vicinity. Mr.. J. B.

cussiou which was participated in by
Messrs. Andrews, Lubbock, Emanuel

be deemed most desirable, with capital

OVER THE RIDGE.-The mines on the
other side of the ridge are attracting
much attention, and we believe deserve
it. This discovery gives distinct evil
dence that the great mother lead of
Phoebe runs through the ridge and shows
distinctly upon the Southwestern side.
Yesterday several OF our citizens, among
whom We're E, Hamilton, d. A. Fulks,
John Cassidy, with others, visited the
ground, and expressed themselves great
ly pleased with the prospect. Samples
OF the rock was brought into town and
on trial fully justified the sanguine an
ticlpations formed of their value. These
things make US say what we do-that
there is good day, and it is very close
at hand. for Phoebe.
