recovering slowly, under the super.n-
tendence OF E. s. Williams. II. D., known
in Phoebe as Scotty" Xiv Phillips is
known in that town as the Firhting
Jew. Phoebe RECORD. "If Phillips
bears the cognomen mentioned above We
have not heard it in this camp; and in
reference to the shooting referred TO. our
report of the examination before the
Justices Court shows that be only acted
on the defensive, aud was accordingly
acquitted. The man now under the
M. d. IS" care was accidentally shot,
and was not the one who attacked him.
Phillips is now engaged in al honorable
calling, that OF running boarding
house up at the Lucky Jim. one OF our
big mines, and We understand is laying
up something for rainy day. As to
there being plenty Of Piochers here, that
is very true, and we find them to be good
men; but as to their controlling the busl-
ness we think that can be taken cuin
grano sails, for we have not noticed any
disposition on their part to do anything
of tina. sort. In fact Darwin Is every
body's town, and every good man has a
good show. For the present, although
we know OF no idle men, still we would
advise not to make too great arush. we
think in two or three months we can
take hold OF and furnish employment to
many more working men.
The Coso Mining News Of the 10th
says: Mr.. Charles Leach, late foreman
or the Newark mine, Phoebe, and who
has had much experience in Idaho and
Nevada, and considered an A No. l
miner, arrived here last Monday, and he
has been duly installed as Foreman OF
the Coso Consolidated mines. He has
hosts of friends here, and they were all
glad to see him come amongst us.
Phoebe is very much represented in this
camp.
An absconder from Eureka was thus
brought to time according to the Sentinel
OF the 18th: J. J. Wilkinson. recently
employed at the X X furnace, left town
day or two since without liquidating a
little bill due William Gillen, of the
Silver Brick Hotel. The telegraph was
brought into requisition and Wilkinson
overhauled at Palisade, and the bill pre-
scented for collection. The fugitive or
the money was to arrive by last nights
train from Palisade.
The Eureka Sentinel Of the 10Th says
Four days ago two fellows named E. W.
Simpson and Joseph Sullivan left town
ON foot destined for Typo. While on the
road between Pinto and the Meadows
during the storm, they lost their way and
suffered greatly in consequence of the
excessive cold and exposure to the furies
of the weather. Both men had their
feet badly frozen and were unable to
proceed further on their way. Fort
unately the stage from Typo passed
along and both men were brought back
to town.
As an instance of big work the Virg.
Enterprise Of the 18th says: Night be-
fore last the shift of the Consolidated
Virginia mine. Of which Mike Kelleher is
boss-that going on at o'clock in the
afternoon and working until IL o'clock at
niRht-took out during their eight hours
four hundred and forty-fve carloads of
ore. A car holds from eighteen to nine
teen hundred pounds of ore. This is
probably the biggest work ever done on
the Comstock lode, the number of men
being about eighty.
In the following we are afraid the Car

but we are not sure, so here they are A
diabolical attempt was made by one OF
the editorial corps Of the Enterprise to
kill Judge Goodwin. the editor in chief,
during the time he was laid on his back
Chloral Hydrate was prescribed by the
physician and the attendant ordered to
administer a certain amount at given
times. The nurse lone of the editorial
staff gave the doses as instructed, but
finding his patient derived no benefit
from the medicine, kept on with his
doses until Charley awakened to sense
OF his danger and distrustfulness of his
nurse. Bad as was Judge Goodwin stu
alton, he crawled from his bed and with
the little strength left him dealt his at
tendant a blow in the snoot, and in his
quiet MARK Twain" manner, init.
mated that he would attend to those
things himself. 1t wasa dastardly attemp,
at jumping into another mans shoes.
