Sinking on Wine No. ,, in the Hillside,
on the west 9TH level, where the rich
body of ore was struck some three weeks
ago, was suspended, owing to the foul air,
but connection was made yesterday with
the crosscut running west from the main
incline to bottom Of Wine and sinking
was resumed on tho ore-body to-day.
There should have been, long ago, a
school district here. Our townsmen are
at present taking it in hand and the ne
cessary petition will be drawn up, signed
by the heads of the different families here,
and forwarded to the County Commits
sioners, subject to their approval.
The machinery of the hosting works
lately purchased in Phoebe by the Bristol
Company for the Cave mine has been ar
irving the past week. The engine and
boiler were unloaded at the millsite, to be
used in the sinking Of the artesian wells.
The Bristol S. NJ. Company have a
large force of men engaged grading on
their site above town for the reception of
| the mill, and work has also begun setting
the engine and boiler beds preparatory
to sinking for flowing water
The ball which was to be given o.
Greenwood's new addition on the evening
of the 18th did not take place, as antici-
pated, owing to the impossibility of pro-
curing the proper music.
| The sections of the water-jacket of the
Hillside Company were placed in position
yesterday and all the quarried rock me-
cessary for the erection of the stack is
already on the dump.
The lumber for the Bristol Company
will be hurried in with all possible speed,
as it is their intention to erect their mill,
clearinghouse, Office, ETC., soon as
possible.
The town has regained its wanton mo-
notony and quietness reigns once more.

THE DIFFERENCE. this period of
the year, 1879, Spring had commenced in
earnest in this county and grass had
grown to the height of half foot on
Glissan's meadow, and now, at this date,
on the same meadow where grass was
then growing the ice is half an inch thick.
The same difference of the two years is
observable throughout the county.
A BEAUTIFUL POEM. received a
beautiful poem during the week, written
by the boys of the Phoebe grammar
school,, which was just chock full of
sweetness; in fact, it was SO sweet that
during the night the little mice ate up
the paper it was written on, thus depriv-
ing us of the pleasure of printing it.
The wildcats and coyotes are very
numerous on the sheep ranges near Desert
Springs, and killed number of sheep. A
sheep that had been killed by these ami
NAL was poisoned with strychnine, and
on the next morning, within circumfer-
ance Of three hundred yards, ten dead
cats and fifteen coyotes were found.
