WE learn from Colonel Jennings that
the reason daily mail was put on be-
tween Phoebe and Mineral PARK, Ari.
zona. was for the purpose of having a
direct daily communication between Ne
vada and that Territory This line
will connect with the different mail
routes leading to the various mining
camps in northwest Arizona, thereby
affordiDg mail facilities to a number of
small camps which have heretofore been
without any. We now have daily mail
limo between Prescott, Arizona, and
Phoebe. and the greater portion Of the
mail matter which has been going to
Arizona, via the roundabout way of San
Francisco, will now come by this route,
thereby reaching its destination several
days sooner than formerly.
FIaE.-Pioche was considerably start.
led on Sunday morning last by an alarm
of fire. which was found to procsed from
the China wash-house of Yee Lee, stu.
ated on Meadow Valley street. nearly
opposite the dumps Of No. Z. The
wash. house was burned to the ground.
The adjoining building. Owned BY J. r.
Duff and occupied by J. F. Ryan, was
damaged to some extent and large
amount OF the furniture ruined by the
careless manner in which some of the
parties handled it. Many ladies' and
gentlemen were sufferers by the fire, the
Chinaman no. having taken homo his
weeks wash to all Of bis patrons. and a.
the fire makes total wreck of zee Lee,
those who have lost by the fire will have
to grin and bear it.

line Of light four.hosse wagons is soon
to be put on the road and to run between
Phoebe and Bristol. Tho wagons were
ordered several weeks ago and are ex.

Tho stock has been purchased and arc al
fine, large horses, which are now on q
ranch few miles from town. This will
supply want long needed by both
communities and will be welcomed by
all, for certainly the present accommoda.
tons of travel between these points, ex.
cept going by early stage, ia none Of the
best. This line will also convey limited
amount Of freight.

Austin Reveille stating that the Meadow
