A ROUND TRIP.


Phoebe to Bullionville, Panaca. Round,
Dry and Rose Valleys, and thence back
TO Phoebe. At Buiionvile we found
III o Raymond & Ely's 30-stamp. the
American Flag and the 20.stamp mills
busi!y at work, the latter being engaged
in pumping water for the working of the
,ailings. Work was also progressing in
concentrating taiings, bu, the smelling
furnace had closed down and was not TO
start up until that evening The shut
ting down was caused by the inferior
grade OF Gre which they had obtained
for iron ore from Bristol, and which had
too small q portion of iron in it to work
with the concentrations satisfactorily
Four boarding houses ARE IN operation
and the business men all say that times
have improved, the last paydsys hav-
ing scattered considerable money
around this was evident by the promti-
tude with which they paid the Sheriff
the quarterly licenses on presentation.
PanacA was about as quiet as usual, no
stir and everything slow; even ile fruit
has taken to growing slowly thi4 season,
water-melons and cantelopes not being
ripe as yet. From Panaca to Dry Valley
the distance is about ten miles, gecer-
ally al uphill and dusty road, making
it hard worK for horses. At Round and
Dry Valleys quietness prevails, the con-
centration works at the latter bang the
only thing stirring. To Rose Valley from
the last named place Is about four miles
over IA tair road. The creek in this can
yon ia nearly dry and has been so this
season, owing to the scarcity of rain,
still, Notwithstanding this Loss, the grain
and vegetable crop st Glissan's has done
well through the season. The grain on
this ranch has all been gathered and
about two-,lirds OF the hay, OF which
thers seems to be au abundance. On
stopping a. Glissan's ranch we were
treated, through the kindness of Mrs.
Glissan, to fresh milk and substantial
lunch which We greatly felt in need Of
Rose Valley appears to be the most
thriving valley in the county in regard
to tho growing OF grain and vegetables
Fruit, however, cannot be made to thrive
there, owing to the nights being SO in
.ensely cold. From Rose Valley to
Phoebe the roads are generally free from
rocks and smooth, making the drive an
easy and pleasant one.
MAYFLowEE MINE. - Frank Wheeler
returned from Bristol District Wednes-
day and reports that on Monday last
some rich ore was encountered in the
Msyhower nine, assayipg from S135 to

SILVER REEF. From Captain Lub.
back We learn that affairs at Silver Reef,
Utah. are moving along with rather
better prospects. The Last Chance"
mine, on Tecumseh Reef, had struck a
rich body OF ore. Barbee is having his
ore crushed at the Goss mill which is
working satisfactorily, except in regard
to prices charged. The Captain shipped
wagon load of hardware from Phoebe

which he has charge.
