The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1877-11-03

this winter was inaugurated last Mon
day evening, when the first flakes com.
menced to whiten the ground at that
time. This was continued throughout
that night and during Tuesday, with the
exception of slight intervals, about
foot Of snow having fallen during that
time. The consequence of the snow fall
was delay in the arrival OF the stages
the Hamilton not coming to hand until
4 O'Clock Wednesday morning. In
Royal City and Bristol the snow was
perfect blessing to all the inhabitants,
as the fall was heavy and enabled them
to lay in large supply for washing and
cooking purposes with but very little
trouble. In most cases in Phoebe large
quantities Of snow was collected to be
used for washing purposes, it being pre-
terrible to the other water on account OF
softness and oheapness. We think this
initial snow-storn prelude only to many
that we will have this winter, as our Iu-
dian friends predict that this will be-
rough and stormy winter this year
DON'T WANT OUTSIDERS. Our Nor.
mon brethren are getting exclusive, or
else the Genties are getting too seductive
or DO not know how to behave them
selves when they 90 to Mormon iesti-
val or dance. A dance took place last
Friday evening at Panaca, whereat the
boys st Bulionville were much pIesesd,
tramplng over there TO stand in and en-
Joy the dance az they had always done
heretofore, but on their arrival in Pa
naca they found to their ehagrin that the
orders were that no GeDtiles were to be
admitted to the dance, aud they accord
ingly, soyrowfully, wended their Way
home. The same thing occurred at
Iocquarville, at II wedding dance, the
Bishop giving orders to that effect. The
Gentiles were notified of it before the
wedding and dance came off
FINED One OF our business men WAS
arrested and brought before Justice
Allen on Monday last, charged with
buying and selling stocks on comma.
sion without having procured license
He denied doing any such business,
stating that all his transactions took
place through brokers and proved to the
satisfaction OF the Court that what be
stated was as stated; but unfortunately
he had posted up sign stating that he
was in that business. This circumstance
led the Court to state that although he
knew the party was not guilty, that
the fact Of the sign being pnt up would
cause him to be- fined ten dollars and
costs The District Attorney and the
other officers threw off half OF the
| amount OF their costs in the case.
RETIMBzRINo.- - We understand that
the shaft of the Meadow Valley mine is
about being retimbered froru top to bot
tom. This is good idea as every one
knows that when shaft is dsused for a
long time the timbers are sure to become
mouldy and rot very fast. The reason
of this. as explained by miners, is that
when the shaft is constantly used either
the cage or bucket passing up or down
keeps up circulation of air which keeps
the timbers dry and free from becoming
damp and mouldy, the dampness caus.
ing the mould and rottipg. A shaft left
unused for year needs new set of
timbers in ii or the lives of workmen are
constantly endangered.
No SCHOOLS. To-day is the 81 of
November, and yet We are no nearer
having the public schools Of Phoebe
opened than we were at the end of vaca-
ton. There are no signs of any teach
ers coming to relieve the school trustees
from the anxiety they have felt on this
| subject for months past. and the proba-
bilities ore that the Thanksgiving Holt
day will be to hand ere anything will be
accomplished
