quaintauces who have been absent from
this camp for some time, returning here
on account of the idea prevailing that
Phoebe was banning out we'll" and
was much better than the camps from
which they had emigrated. There are
new arrivals daily, some putting in an
appearance with their packs upon their
backs while others arrive on horseback,
in this section have taken turn de-
cidedly for the better. we will suggest to
the surplus mining population of Nevada
and Utah not to all come focking in
here at once. There have been quite
number of men put to work in our
mines lately, and will be many more
after the companies have everything in
readiness, but, however, Phoebe is utter
ly unable to supply the whole of the I'M
employed population of this coast with
employment.
A CATAsTRoPHE.-"D Dennis" has for
some time been daily engaged in carry
ing meal froms the Bank Exchange Res
taurant to the residence of one OF their
customers, and in conveying the victuals
from one place to the other, he always
packed them ON bis head and went along
whistiing one Of his favorite songs. 1t
had been raining and showing the best
part OF last Tuesday, consequently max
ing the walking rather slippery, and in
the evening, as Dennis was performing
his daily task aud went along whistling
and feeling just as happy as q big sun
flower, he had the misfortune of having
his legs suddenly slip from under him,
and taking seat on the sidewalk, max
ing savory meal for the CANNES of the
scattered grub. The .colored gentleman
looked at the mess and broken dishes
for about minute, and seeing that they
were past all repair remarked, as he
walked away. "Dey is oil dun gone,
suab."
BUTTER, sweet and fresh, at Pou-
jade's.
The CONDITION EAsT.--A private letter
from Philadelphia says: II never knew
business to be in such depressed con-
dition; the streets are filled with people
who are anxious to work but are unable
to get it. Every business house seems
to make it an object to lessen help and
expenses in every way, factories are shut
up, railroads are complaining OF want of
trade and their stock is selling at lower
prices than ever known before. Dry
goods and clothing are selling at lower
prices than before the war, but people
have no money with which to buy them.
The necessaries of life-meat, bread, and
provisions of all kinds as we'll as tea and
coffee-have advanced in consequence of
the war in Europe, or rather SPECTATORS
have taken advantage of the situation
and run up prices.
FIRST WHISTLE. The Alps Company
having taken possession of the Wash
ipgton and Creole and Mazeppa mines
had the machinery put in order, and
under the supervision OF Theo. Hale,
started the works and sounded the
whistle from the Mazeppa the first part
of the week. On that occasion a keg Of
beer was tapped end the new starting
was made the occasion of much rejoicing
among those present, and also among
Piochers generally. The individual who
manipulated the lower end of the whistle
string understood his business.
