local INTELLIGENCE.

Of the employees of this company were told
last Saturday to call at the office and get
their pay. When the men arrived there
they were requested TO sign the pay roll
and informed that they would be paid in
3O-day checks. The men refused to sign
the pay roll unless they got sight checks.
The clerk informed the men that they
could sign the pay roll and leave their
checks in the office il they desired, but
they declined doing this. The clerk, be-
coming chagrined at the men not bowling
at his bidding remarked that he would
know 'twho was who next Monday. 1t
would have been much better to have eN-
planned things TO the miners instead OF
attempting to coerce them. The dis
ease known as the "big-head" works
great injury to persons who are attacked
by it. Captain Mill, just before he left
informed the men that it was not neces-
sary for them to sign the pay roll,
unless they received their money, but
since his absence great efforts have been
made to compel the men to sign the pay
roll. A number of the men We're
knocked off Wednesday evening, and
favorite few retained. All hands ought
to have been knocked off and the mine
closed down, for as it is run at present
the company is being sunk deeper in debt
every minute. A mine cannot be run
without there is u competant man III
charge. Wednesday word reached town
that the sight drafts sent to San Fran
cisco had not been paid; that the CON-
pany desired the owners of the drafts to
wait until the assessment came i'll, but
they refused to do so, and the drafts
were protested. Thursday evening some
of the men, becoming tired at the delay,
placed plaster Oh the Raymond & Ely
team, the office and household furniture,
which had not been recorded in the mort
gage, and on Friday morning tools and
other articles were attached.
REVIEW OF SCHOOL STUDIES. Thurs
day the scholars OF the grammar school
commenced review of the studies passed
over by them during the last six months.
Grammar, study which the scholars
have been learning for the last fourteen
weeks, was gone through with in very
creditable manner. In the spelling and
reading classes Mary Blewett, Delora
Craw, Addie Morton and Maggie Clinton
were very proficient and vastly superior
to the boys. In the grammar class Stella
Armer Jennie Armer, Mary and Lena
Clinton, Mamie Buck, John Sheath and
Frank Andrews, showed that they had
well improved the short time they have
been engaged in that study. The boys
in this school are allowed entirely too
much liberty and do pretty much as they
please. The review at the primary
school consisted in LESSONS of spelling,
geography, reading and arithmetic and
reflected great credit on the scholars.
Louisa Bartell obtained the first prize
for scholarship, Annie Roe being next,
and jamie Alexander received the prize
for department The discipline man
tanned in this school is excellent.
ODD FELLOWS BALL. fraternity
of Phoebe may well be proud of the ball
given by them on the occasion of theiI
anniversary last Monday evening. 1t will
at once be conceded that the hall never
looked so well. There was y lavishness
of DECORATION and with all an exquisite
taste exhibited in arranging the same that
called forth the unstinted praise of al
present. One Of the features Of the oc
casion was the abundance of looking
glasses placed upon the walls, multiply
ing the feminine forms and rejecting thu
bright faces of the ladies. The spirit anC
animation with which the people presen
