RAYMOND AND ELY,

IL pretty nearly completed. The pipes
from the shaft to the station are being
run along as fast as possible. time being
required to drill holes 10 fasten them up,
and in some places to straighten the
drift, which makes that work little
slow. Ore OF good quality is being hoisted
from the upper levels. Around the diff

variously engaged ON different portions
OF the compressor machinery.

ITs EFFIcIENcY.-Fred Harts book,
the "Sazerac Lying Club" has been
found of use in Kidding us Of one pestif-
erous bore at least. and We recommend
it to others to try its efficiency under
similar circumstances. During the past
week, while bnsily engaged in doing
some work. we were continually inter
rupted BY an individual who was slightly
under the influence OF the ardent, and
who, az a matter OF course. thought he
was doing something agreeable. He had
gone through q snake story, and was
nearly through an Indian story wht n,
being nearly frantic, we noticed a
copy Of the "Sazerac" lying near US. In
desperation We picked it up and handed
it to him. He took it, stopped bic
story. glanced at the introduction,
slammed down the book, and utteripg
words, which sounded very much like
"you 60 to h-ll," took his departure.
Fox vs.. CoYoTE There is an animal
at Billy Goodman's store in regard to
which an immense difference Of opinion
exists; some asserting it to be genuine
fox, while others call it coyote. Dur.
ing the week over $500 people, nearly
the entire population of Phoebe. have
been visiting the store for the purpose
of having a look at the animal and de.
Gliding the vexed question. Out OF the
numb.r visiting there about 1900 posi-
lively stated it to be fox while the bal.
ance just as energetically decided it to
be a cayote. The question is still unde.
cided and the proprietor of the animal
intends giving chrome to the one who
will decide the vexed question as to wha
the animal is.
MORE MACHINERY. More of the ma
chinery for the compressor arrived her'
Tuesday. All of it would have arrived
at the same time had it not been for {
breakage occurring at Desert Station
The teams which arrived here took baol
with them the necessary timbers to re
pair the break down and they may b.
expected at any time.
