The DAY MINE.-The following note
from a party at Royal City who went
through the Day mine will be of interest
to our readers: II have just been through
the Day mine. every part of it, and will
try and tell you what it is like. The
shaft on the vein of ore is sixty feet deep
and the ore in the smalles. place is six
feet wide, and at the bottom of the shaft
they have dug out place ten feet by
eighteen; that is. they have started
drift and are taking out ten feet wide
and have got in eighteen feet The bot
tom is all ore, and 80 are the sides. l
can run bar of iron in three feet
on each side, and then find NO wall;
that makes it sixteen feet wide that we
know of. and it may 60 sixty-there is
no telling where it may go. They have
raised up twenty feet, and have large
body of ore all the way up; that makes
eighty feet, and out of five assays taken
to-day the lowest was $3.50 and the high
est was $500, SO you see they have big
thing and the stock must go up. have
given you the thing just as it is, but you
ought to see it to have any idea of it.
This may be only a pocket, but then
they have followed it down eighty feet
and must have great many thousand
dollars in sight"
No HOPES, Among the numerous per-
sons in Phoebe who went down to the
Gypsies tent to have their fortunes told
was our young friend Alb. Polleys. He
listened to the old crone very patiently
until she informed him that che had
finished. Alb, scratched himself on top
of the head, where the hair ought to be,
but wasn't, and asked the old woman
il she didn't think she forgot something.
The woman shook her head "Well
now" said Alb, blushing, "don't you
think there will ever be any show for a
fellow to get married." The old woman
stared at poor Alb, and placing her hands
on her hips, exclaimed, Why! you old
goose you! Do you really expect to
ever run across o woman who would BE-
big enough fool to marry your" and then
she showed him out of the tent. Alb. has
been down in the mouth ever since. No
more is his jovial laugh heard by his
friends. who express fears Of his untime-
ly demise.
HIGHLAND FURNAcE.-We learn from
Isaac Garrison. the owner of the High
land Furnace, that it was started up on
the 4th instant, but had to close down
on account of having some trouble with
ha ia
it was again started on the 7th, and up
to The morning of the 18th had run out
% tons of bullion, which is supposed
will average 5000 per ton. No assays
having been made of the bullion the ex-
act amount cannot yet be told. The
principal ore worked is from the HUM
g. Huat, or Nevada mine, and according
to all accounts it is running through
spiendidly. The furnace continues to
work we'll and there is no doubt but
what it will be success.
DEpARTED.-On Monday last Mr.. and
Mrs. James Wilkin took their departure
for Rockville, Utah, the home OF Mrs.
Wilkin, intending to locate there. During
Mrs. Wilkins short residence in Phoebe
she won many friends by her amisble
manners and frankness, who hold her in
tho very highest esteem indeed, and
although she left with the avowed in
tention of never again returning to
eIoohe, We sincerely hope that she will
reconsider this little matter, and when
the grass turns yellow and leaves begin
wlther next Fall that she will return.
