EDITOR RECORD: arrived at this place
on the Central Pacific Railroad after a
,iresome trip from Phoebe. Leaving
Phoebe on Monday, the 4Ih. We arrived
at Prsirie's Ranch that afternoon at four
o'clock. About ten miles from the
ranch the stage was met by buggy
driven by johnny Green and Pat RYAN,
with whom l had the pleasure Of riding
into Prairie's, pleasant relief to riding
on the stage. Prairie's ranch is one of
the finest in the country, and is well
stocked with cattle of all kinds, under
charge of Johnny Green. A consider
able quantity of grain is raised on this
ranch. We reached Ward City that
evening at ten o'clock. but did not have
much time to view the town-what esti-
mate could be formed was hasty-aud
should Judge that Main street was com.
posed of about forty houses, stores, sa-
looms and places of business; the saloon
being the only places open at the time
We arrived. A twenty-stamp mill, brought
from Troy District, is being built under
the supervision of Captain Dahlgreen.
The calculation is to work the ore with
out the use of pans or quicksilver by a
new process. The Martin White Com.
pany " is the only company here now
running, aud they are just about having
litigation in reference to so some of
their mining property, as is always the
case in new mining camps. j. W. CASH
Weller was at Ward in reference to the
above matter and took passage on our
stage for Eureka. Money is scarce at
Ward. Lumber aud plenty of merchan-
disc on the road from Pioche.f CULLEN
Is about erecting q store for the TRANSACT
ton of a general merchandise business
in Ward. The future prospects of the
town seem to be very fair. but it will be
several months before it is really lively.
Left Ward at IL o'clock, running through
to Robinson at pretty lively rate. reach
ing Hamilton at 10 O'Clock Tuesday.
Arrived at Eureka on Tuesday evening
at 8 o'clock. Found the town very lively
and filed with Piochers. Had the
pleasure of meeting Cassidy and Dennis
Of the Sentinel, Fred. Hart, formerly
connected with the Reveille, and host
OF friends who we're all anxious to be
posted in regard to the prospects of
Phoebe. Whilst in Eureka we were
taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Sam
Bell and County Recorder F. H. Har-
mon, who did their best to make our
short stay pleasant. Reaching Eureka
just on payday made the town seem
livelier than it generally is. The trains
leave Eureka for the Central Pacific Rail-
road at 3 p. M, a very announcement
hour, but it cannot BIO helped on &C.
count of connection having to be be
made with the Eastern and Western
bound trains. A heavy rain storm, also
slight fall of snow, marred the pleasure
OF the trip from Eureka to Palisade
The storm made fire on the Eureka &
Palisade Railroad necessary. G.
