The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1881-06-04


Wednesday from Butte City, Montana,
dated May I'D, written by Al. Eustis to
Mark Jarvis, which gives a good account
of that camp. The following extracts |
will be found OF interest to our readers: !
Butte, to me, resembles the early days |
OF Phoebe. There are about five thousand |
people here. ! am informed that there
are large number of good mines here |
and the hills are full of holes. There are |
about two hundred stamps running, and |
new 40-stamp mill is now being erected. |
The deepest mine has attained a depth of
700 feet, and its showing in the bottom is
better now Tran ever. This camp is run
by Eastern capital and wages are from
SO. so to 81 per day; mill hands the same.
& little placer mining is being done down
in the gulch. Among the Piochers here
are Tom Miller, John Rule, Joe Rich and
Dick Rosewarne. There appears to be
no trouble in obtaining employment.
Decorating GRAVES. "A number OF
our residents have taken great pains in
ornamenting and decorating the graves
OF deceased friends and relatives buried
down in the graveyard, this spring;
but upon several of them visiting the
graves Of friends the other evening they
were sorely panied by the scene that met
their eyes. The graves had been desc
Grated by some person; very probably by
mischievous and thoughtless boys, who
little thought of the pain and sorrow the
act would cause to the friends of those
who sleep beneath the ground. Plants,
planted by the tender hand of mothers,
were torn up by the roots from the graves
of their children, and all ornaments, such
as vases, etc., were taken away.
R. H. ELAN will leave on Sunday for
Eureka, where he goes as delegate to
attend the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
that assemble at that place next Tuesday,
June 7th. After it's adjournment he will
proceed to Virginia City, where the State
Grand Lodge of Masons will meet, and
represent the Phoebe branch Of the Order.
After the adjournment of the State Lodge
he will visit his family in San Francisco.
Mr. Elan expects to be absent about six
weeks, and during that period D. A.
Fulks, Deputy County Treasurer, will
attend to the business of the Treasurer
Office.
FINGER AMpUTATED. On Thursday
DR.. Philson amputated the finger of Chas.
Goediclse's little son, aged 90 months.
Some time ago the little fellow injured
his finger and a portion of it was ampu-
tated. The end Of the finger refused to
heal and modification set in, so the doctor
amputated another portion of the finger
on Thursday.
THE other night an employee in mill
in this county went to his room in the
