The WHITE PINE TUNNRLs.-Two
tunnels are now being pushed into
Treasure mountain, n by Major
Henry and the other by Capt. Drake,
for the English company. Both will
u,erce the mountain at immense depth,
thus demonstrating the value of deep
mining in h a particular section. The
people OF White Pine are looking hope
fully forward TO the completion of
Il these tunnels. Should large ore bodies
he cut At great depth it is not inproba-
bie that White Pine, another year, will
take IN much of its former prosperity.
The peopie who have stuck by the old
camp through good and evil report de-
serve to reap a rich harvest as the re-
ward oil their faith.
AN UNwELcoME VIsIToR.-A laborer

near the rocks back of Spring street,
upon returning home about q o'clock
last evening found an immense rattle
snake in possession of his domicle.
The intruder greeted the owner OF the
cabin with A tune as he entered, there
by ''giving himself away" by divuig-
ing his whereabouts under the table.
A mahogany club was brought into
requisition and the unwelcome visitor
speedily dispatched. IL was evidently

PiocHE. - The heavy machinery
which has been passing through here
for the last month for the Meadow Val
ley is expected to be in place by the
middle of October. There is no doubt
that the principal mines will be cleared
OF water very o thereafter; go the
future of Phoebe will most likely be
determined before b ex piration OF the
present year. If the mines prove good
below the water level, of which there
Is but little doubt, Phoebe will .gain
become II of the liveliest camps in
the State. We certainly hope that the
most sanguine ex pectatiols of the peo-
pie there may be more than realized.
