The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1877-03-31

Ioh, Wnlcn says. some one VINO ID down
on the mining district of Harrisburg, has
spread the report that it was good camp
for lawyers, and they are accordingly
swarming iu from all directions-from
Arizona, Salt Lake City, Colorado and
Nevada. As far as money is concerned,
it is rather dull here. Some sales of diff
ferent maenitudes are spoken of, and II
we have few more interpretations. here,
this camp will support great many
miners in short time. One OF the great
advantages here is the water power.
Preparations are now in progress to
build ten.stamp mill on the Virgin.
There are several more mill.sites on the
river. Dupaix's mill started up but had
to shut down again. as be forgot to build
brake on his wheel; when that is fixed
it will start up again for good. The
Starment mine, owned by DR.. Smith, of
Salt Lake City, has large body of ore,
which appears TO hold out we'll. The
ore body is four feet wide and continues
to the bottom of the shaft which has
reached depth Of "a feet. The ore will
mill 1925 per ton. The Leeds mill is
now working custom ore, that is, such
ore "a will work 5000 per ton. 1t pays
the Company better than working their
own. The last batch of ore from here
has reached Phoebe; don't look for any
more. The threat Of the Lincoln county
Assessor to tax all the bullion proceeds
from ores from here has had its effect.
Although the chloriders know that it
cannot be lawfully collected, no ole is
willing to burden himself with an I'M
profitable lawsuit. 1t is plain to me
that the report was gotten up for the
benefit OF the Leeds Company.s mill by
their advisers. There are great many
mines bonded, and in about two months
there will BE- real life here.
CURRENT EXPENSE FUND. - The last
Legislature passed an act providing
means for the payment OF certain ex-

time of levying the tax for State and

cents on each one hundred dollars of thu

used in payment Of the following tx
penses and none other, to wit: Repairs

fuel and lights, board clothing, bedding
and medicines for prisoners confined in
the County Jail, and ths necessary cur
rent expenses incident to the care Of the
INDECENT sick Of said county, whether the
said INDECENT sick are cared for in the
County Hospital or otherwise provided

INDIAN FESTIVAL. - The Indians in
their wickinps near Phoebe have been
having q regular blowout the past wssh
in honor OF the advent of Spring weather
Into the large canvas tent that they have
at their encampm Mt they would all gather
singing songs, dancing, drinking, 30
If their whisky would give out during
the evening, they would despatch one o
their number to some accommodating
store keeper for a renewal of the supply
and then would keep up their jubile,
until late hour in the night, or unit
they all became too exhausted to keep i
up any longer.
