PUMP AND ENGINE SoLD.-W have it
on, the best authority that Mr.. Taylor,
the President of the Risdon Iron Works
OF San Francisco. has sold the engine,
pump and what machinery is left in the
foundry belonging to or ordered for
the Meadow Valley mine to mining
company of Virginia City. The foun-
dry company had became tired of the
waiting process and closed on good
offer for the machinery, for which &C.
ton We see nothing to condemn, as the
Trustees of the Meadow Valley mine
could not make up their mind what to
do in regard to the pump. The pump
OF the Raymond & Ely mine can be
made. by proper appliances, to drain
also the Meadow Valley mine, 80 that
il both companies made the proper ar
rangements the mines could be worked
in common in regard to drainage with
very little extra expense from the cost of
working the Raymond & Ely. If the
present Trustees of the Meadow Valley
mine would take this matter into con-
sideration it would be much to their adj
vantage as we'll as an immense help to
Phoebe.
JUST SUITED. 1t is not we'll to joke on
funeral subjects, but an occurrence that
took place at funeral n couple of
months since in Phoebe was 80 ludic-
rous that we may be excused from relat-
| ing it. The time for the funeral to start
for the church had about arrived, when
| it was, discovered that one more pail
bearer was necessary to make up the re.
quisite number. As every one was fixed
and in place this WAS rather difficult who
to select, but one of the company pres
ant spoke up and said: II know a mar
that will make rafting good pail
bearer" naming the person, "its jus
his gait" The manner in which this
was expressed, and the earnestness il
recommending the individual as capable
of filing such position, caused snili
to break out around, Notwithstanding thu
solemn OCCASION; but the man wal
selected and filled up the void, bu
whather he made "rattling good one
we are unable to state.
PANAcA ITEMs.--We learned from Mr.
D. W. Thompson, of Panaca. last Thurs
day that the corn crop at that place hat
been entirely cut off by the frost. but tn
potato crop was excellent and that four
pound potatoes are as plentiful as tn
smaller ones. There were three acct
dents happened at that town in one da.
last week. A man living at Corn Greek
Utah, while on his return home fror
Panaca, and about seven miles from tn
village, had the misfortune to break hi
arm. He returned to Panaca again
and as there are no physicians at tina
place, Mr.. Thompson took upon himsel
the task of setting and dressing th
broken limb, and WAS so successful th
man started for Corn Creek the next day
: George Whitney, on the same day. CT
!. his toe with an ak and nearly severed
from the foot, it only hanging by th
skin. Another man nearly severed h
foot in the same manner.
