PROGRESS OF MINING MATTERS IN THE
CAMP.

PHILIPsBURs, Feb. 8, 1sS0.-Our camp
has again assumed business like aspect.
Idle men no longer mOIopolize the warmest
seats in the cosy bar rooms which abound so
pentiously on our main thoroughfare.
Many have taken advantage Of the present
beautiful weather and are either busily rep
resenting claims or getting out mining tim
bers, for which, by the way, there is an un-
ceasing demand.
For fear Of offending the finer seusibi!i-
ties of few who, from force of circum-
stances, are still destitute OF employment,
would simply state that in the above re-
fer solely to large class who, as lockers on,
have so perfected themselves in the intri-
cacies and excellencies of sancho pedro as
to render themselves loudly and critically
obnoxious to the lover Of this quiet scien-
tifc game. In concluding this apology |
am pleased to say that the respectable mi
norIty are averse to hard labor and sincere
ly desire 70 end their declining years in
searching for and never finding :" a job"
A STAGE ITEM.
As an item of local news that may be of
interest to the outside world, I note the re
cent transfer of the Pacific Stable by Messrs.
Degenhart g. Simmonds to the Taylor stage
and express company. The premises are
large and commodious, with the advanta-
ges of central location. This stable will
only be used by the company for their
stock, and to keep up the line from New
Chicago to Butte large number of extra
horses are required which will make this q
general distributing depot for the route
above mentioned. Four horse stock and q
daily coach to Butte places us under many
obligations to Messrs. Taylor & Son. We
cannot have too many Of such rustling, en-
ergetic friends as these gentlemen have
proved themselves to be.
ANOTHER DEATH.

THE HOPE COMPANY.
The ST. Louis mill is running steadily
on Hope ore. Capt. Plaisted has COM
pied and perfected the new works recent
ly placed in this mill, and now everything
Is as Is thould be. Supt. Clark will make |
up for lost time, and the large amount Of |
ore now on the dump will ensure hand |
some returns for many months to come.
The plant of the company is in excellent |
order, and no money is wasted in superAu-
ous work.
