mines south OF the Bodie mine, located
on Silver Hill, and extend as far as Mono
Lake, among which are the MONDAY,
Queen Bee. Dudley and Addenda, each
producing from five to six tons per day
| All of the last mentioned mines yield
about equal of both silver and gold, With
the exception of the Addenda, which
is entirely silver-producing mine. The
prospect OF Bodie at present cannot be

The cause OF Roscoe's joining the Nor

both. We first felt inclined to 20 after
Roscoe with sharp stick, but upon seq

there is no telling at what moment we
may be in the boat with brother Roscoe,
together sailing down the same stream OF
glory.

the evening large number OF their
friends gave them surprise party"
A MUss.-Monday evening couple Of
mines of the base ball club were down
practicing back Of the corral and dispute
arose as to whether one of the players
was put out. This led to some hot words
after the boys came to town, which final

getting into muss. A damaged head
for one side was the result. Hereafter
when the mines of the club go to practice
they will be careful to take along war

nothing like being prepared for the worst.
FROM YANKEE FoRK.-H. W. Newton
returned to Phoebe Tuesday from the
Yankee Fork Country. He don't like it.
Thinks it is not the place for good

and the supply of hands larger than the
demand. Wood is to be had for the cut

Fork, and Crandall somewher on Snake

day morning was upset at Murray's
Greek, and judging from the appearance
of the mail matter, we would say in the
deepest place. The papers were thor
oughly soaked and torn and letters were
opened and the stamps had disappeared
from the envelopes. When our P. M.
opened the mail bags and beheld the
mess before him for distribution, we feel
quite confident that Charles whistled to
his brides.
RENovATED.-Saturday and Sunday
last were devoted to whitewashing and
renovating the Jail by those who had it
in charge, there being no prisoners in it
at the time mentioned, to place it in
some kind of shape for the reception Of
