OFFICIAL LErTER.-Following u.s. the
official letter OF I. B. Pheby, Superin-
tendent of the Raymond & Ely mine,
dated April 18th: ~ have nothing of
importance to communicate since my
last. Everything continues to work well
at mills and mine. Mine continues to
look well at all points and is furnishing
good supply of ore. Our 9th and 10th
levels ore looking exceedingly we'll and
hope to soon furnish large supply of
good ore from them. Our large and
powerful pumps are on the way and ex-
pect them here in few days. Will then
commence work below the 18th level. I
closed down the mill for few days to
move the pump and make different ar
rangements for supplying our 30.stamp
mill with water, which will make a saw
ing of 800 per month to the company.
Mill commenced running yesterday"
RUBBER SLINas.-This machine is
composed of a couple of strips Of rubber
attached TO forked stick, throws
bullet with great force, and was brought
into use by the boys of Phoebe two weeks
ago. 1t is an internal nuisance, and the
boys amuse themselves by breaking win
dows with them. Last week two boys
deliberately fired bullets through the
windows of the Grammar school. break
ing the glass and endangerirg the eyes of
the scholars inside. They were made to
replace the glass that they had broken,
but had they Of put out some child's eye
that would have been beyond repair.
The next time any windows are broken
in the school buildings the Trustees have
| made up their minds to make COM
plant and have the offenders arrested
and tried for malicious mischief. This
will probably put stop to it, if nothing
else does. So look out, boys.

Springs Water Company VS.. Lincoln
County. for repairs on water-pipes, was
