Law SUIT ENDED. AS will be seen by
our District Court proceedings, the suit
against the Day Silver Mining Company
was settled last Monday by oompro-
mise, This ended what promised to be
long and disastrous course OF litiga-
ton, and in which Phoebe and the
county would be the sufferers. The
news of the settlement was received with
Rladness by all classes, except probably
few persons who thought that their
time to make fortune had arrived, and
were consequently deeply mortified to
ind their valuable services could be dis
pensed with. The suit having ended
Capt. Day started on Tuesday to Royal
City to put more men TO work, push mat.
tiers on the ore-house and get ready tor
shipping ore. Large numbers of men left
for that camp for the purpose of going
to work at the mine, prospecting, build
ing. etc. The ore.house of the company
will be finished by the latter part OF the
coming week, when ore will be taken
| ont. The tunnels will be pushed to COM
pletion rs fast az possible and as soon as
the ore is ready for shipment it will be
hauled by way Of Highland, by new
road, direct to Bullionville, avoiding
Phoebe and the reshipping of the ore by
railroad. The stamps at Bullionville
will be ready to start on the ore as soon
| az it is brought there. We have now,
owing to the settlement of this suit,
every prospect of pretty lively winter
in and around Phoebe.
TAINTED POULTRY Our Mormon
brethren are fast becoming adopts in the
weakness OF getting the best of every one
possible in trade. We have observed
numerous instances of this among the
peddling wagons that come in from Utah
nearly every day. On Tuesday u Nor
mon wagon appeared on Main street.
having what appeared to he lot OF fine
chickens, killed and dressed, which were
sold at very low price. Owing to the
cheapness of that commodity there were
numerous purchasers who, on examin.
ing their purchases Of their leisure al
home, found the chickens tainted and
utterly worthless, having been fixed ur
and prepared expressly for this market
by some skillful hands at the business
Wewould advise purchasers from wagons
to lookout and not be in hurry to hu,
even if an article ia cheap.
A CURIOSITY. r. The latest curiosit,
or freak of nature is apples withou
seeds in them. We were shown lot o
these kind of apples by Dick Riepe of thu
Bank Exchange Restaurant. They com
from Utah. along with the regular see,
apples, and cannot be told by the out
side appearance from them. but on th
inside they present no appearance O
ever having contained any seed. Ca
some of the Mormon brethren explain
this phenomenon or freak of nature;
so We would like to hear from them.
