PlCche; that 10 TO nave the mail arrive
and depart seven days in the week in
stead OF six A petition was also gotten
up soliciting L. J. Brady, Second Assist
ant Postmaster General, to establish
mail service from Osceola. Nevada, d.
rect to Frisco. Utah. The reasons given
for asking the establishment of this !,
route, is that Osceola is within 1875 miles
OF Frisco. Utah. and the mail could be
delivered there within twenty-four hours,
whereas by the present roundabout
routes now from Eureka, Ward, Hamil- |
ton, Osceola and Phoebe, a distance of |
$50 to 600 miles has to be travelled, TAX |
ing letter week in reaching its des- |
tination. AS Ward, Osceola, Eureka and |
Phoebe expect to have and are having |
extensive business relations with San |
Francisco District, Utah, it is necessary
that mail facilities should be granted to
enable the above places to have speedy
communication with Frisco.
CHIL1.-Every one knows that the lit
tie red pepper-berry called +" Chilli" re-
sembes dried currant or berry. This
resemblance striking in on young lady's
brain the other morning put in her head
the bright idea of passing some off on
her schoolmates as dried strawberries,
so she deposited few dozen in her
haudkerchief--a girls receptacle for
everything-and waited for chance to
operate. Bimebye, forgetting the Chilli
and meeting with an accident that
crushed them in the handkerchief, she
shortly had occasion to use it on her nasal
appendage, the result was flow of fine
red powder into her nose, mouth and eyes;
tears, coughing end sneezing to hor-
rible extent was then in order, and 1t was
only after about an hour of such exercise
that she was freed from the influence of
the Chilli Her school-mates are now
safe from practical jokes.
OFFICIAL LETTER.-The following is
the official letter of T. B. Pheby, Super
intendent of the Raymond Il Ely mine:
Everything continues to run we'll in
and around the mine. Our crosscuts on
the different levels are all progressing
finely, with favorable results; hope to be
able to report developments in the
greater part of them next week. Have
the water under control. 1t Is now
standing at the 18th level; will get it all
out next week. The mill is running we'll,
with good results"
Cor Hrs R1FLE.-About two weeks
since man arrived at Flies mill, in
Long Valley, and asked for work, but as
Mr.. Fife had all the hands he needed he
was unable to give the man employment.
The man then went off, broke into one
Of the houses in the neighborhood and
stole q Henry rifle and other articles.
Mr.. Fife on coming to town succeeded in
finding the rifle but was unable to catch
the thief.
HILLSIDE FURNACE. The Hillside fur
mace still continues its steady run and
the prospect now is, as there is plenty of
coal arriving, that without some unfor-
seen accident the furnace will be kept
running over a month longer, and then
il shut down will remain closed for only
about ten days. We have no report OF
the mine of late date, but understand
it is turning out ore satisfactory to the
managers.
The PUMP.-The pump telegraphed
for for the lower levels of the Raymond
& Ely mine arrived Tuesday morning
and was Immediately placed in position
and put to work that evening. Another
pump had been at work on the winze
and lowered the water sixty feet on Mon
day, and on Wednesday morning both
pumps were working, having the water
below the 18th level.
SpEc1MENs.-During the week we re-
ceived several very rich and handsome
specimens of ore from John Heuss, taken
from his mine in Cave Valley. One of
the specimens, a piece of chloride. is
said to be worth dollar pound. These
specimens are covered with native silver,
and it is just the kind that John sent to
mill when the discount on bullion was
"a per cent.

for Chief Engineer, to fill the vacancy
