The Record of n Week ms Recorded
In the "Record'' ofLast Saturday.
Items from Supt. Gould's letters the
past week are briefly as follows: Day
AGO level-stope has been started in south
drift, Immediately above the timbers al
New Discovery" all in good ore; SAC
level-extracting from seven to ten tons OF
high grade ore daily from north and south
drifts, thirty feet below $40 l~evel-cross-
cut all in iron ore mixed with Manganese,
spotted throughout with carbonate looking
exceedingly we'll, the best discovered at
this depth. Main incline still in good
ledge matter with punches Of ore. Ship
ping ore as fast as teams can be obtained.
Mendha-Stopes producing about ss last
reported. Four double back-action teams
loaded for furnace yesterday morning.
Furnace running as usual under full blast,
and all teams wanting freight at Bristol
for Milford load at once with bullion to-
day seven teams loaded. The bullion
values almost double the standard.
There seems to be some trouble in re-
gard TO the new teacher appointed TO take
charge OF the school down at the Muddy.
The lady appointed by the Trustees to
teach is q resident of st. George, Utah,
and passed a very creditable examination
before the Board OF Examiners in Phoebe
several months ago; but this lady is living
in polygamy, being the third wife Of a
Mormon Elder. n it is on this ground
that the parents object to her. They say
they do not want their daughters set such
an example, and decline sending them to
school. Two of. the Trustees are hardy
and robust men, and probably appointed
this lady to the position so that she could
convert their wives to the Mormon faith
and teach them the beauty and pleasure
OF polygamy. We cannot see anything
wrong in employing this lady as teacher.
The early part Of last week q young
man, about 80 years of age, arrived in
Phoebe. He remained here q couple Of
days; was lively, INDUCED q little and paid
as he went. He had apaper hat had writ
ten on it the names of various places and
springs along the route he was to travel.
He left here for Sand Springs, and ap-
peared to be heading for California. Last
Saturday a couple of officials arrived here
from Utah, who were following his trail.
and they left the same day. 1t appears
that the fugitive had killed a Sheriff in
Colorado we believe in the vicinity of
Leadville, and that there is a reward Of
$40, 900 for his capture.
In answer to a letter written by G.. R.
Alexander, letters from the brother and
sister Of the late P. T. Butler, expressing
great pleasure at hearing from their
brother, whom they had not heard any
thing of for twelve years, were received in
Phoebe on Tuesday. The next news they
hear OF their brother will be the sad news
Of his death. When Mr.. Butler was in cir
cumstances, years ago, he bought his sister
a farm back in Illinois and placed her in
comfortable circumstances, since which
time his relations have heard little or
nothing Of him.
John Sheath, an old resident Of this
place, who had been down in California
for some time for the benefit Of his health,
died at Murray Greek on Monday. Mr..
Sheath was on his way home and was taken
sick, so concluded to lay over at Murray
Greek one stage, where he died. He has
been suffering for quite a while from bron-
chitis. A box was made and the body
shipped to Phoebe. Mr.. Sheath leaves Q
wife and a son, who is 10 years Of age.
Out in Utah they have some pretty large
families. yet Lincoln County has some
pretensions in the big family line herself.
We are informed that there Ia a man re-
siding down at Bunkerville who has six
wives and 40 children. who were sent to
him by the Lord. The citizens OF other
counties in Nevada are liable to become
jealous of Lincoln when they learn this
news, and call US polygamous wretches,
but we don't care for that, for we have the
largest family all the same.
1t seems to be the determination Of Mr..
Gould to retire from the SUPPLEMENTARY
Of the Day Company. at least for the
present. He and his wife expect to leave
for San Francisco about the last Of the
month. Mrs. Gould is sorry TO give up
her elegant little home at the Rabbit"
but she knows 1--WE cannot most always
have things to please u.s." Mr.. Gould
says he will arrange to meet all his friends
in Phoebe some evening before he departs.
Notwithstanding that a letter has been
received in Frisco, Utah, from Bristol,
stating that a number of miners are want
ed at the latter place, we will state that
such Is not the case. We are informed by
those who certainly ought to know that
they have all the miners they will proba-
bly, needthis Winter.
The mill of the Bristol Company con-
tinues running smoothly and Is turning
out considerable extra fine bullion. The
Mayfower bonanza bids fair to equal that
OF the Raymond & Ely in pafmy days.
We learn that work has been resumed
on j. B. McGee's series OF mines out in
Gave Valley. William Wheatly Ia in
charge of the mines.
II the saloon boom at Bristol keeps up
its lick for a couple Of weeks longer, there
will be n saloon to every man working
at the furnace.
The Lincoln s. NJ. Company Of Ell Do
RADIO Canyon will probably be numbered
among the things that we're.
The Day Company has shipped consid-
cradle base bullion from Phoebe since
