LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

several men were engaged in playing q
social game of poker, and one of the
players, who has been married for several
years, but not until recently q father,
was very DESTROYS of accommodating suf-
ficient wealth so as to purchase his off
spring carriage in which to ride, q
thing that every good and pretty babe
ought to be provided with. The cards
not running to suit this kind and tender
father, and seeing he could not win by
fair means, he undertook to do it by foul
means. He managed to slip the four aces
out of the deck into his lap, and when
he thought his opponents held good hands
he set all of his money in the center of
the table, and his neighbor covered it..
The smiling and happy papa reached
down ON his lap for the four aces, but
they had mysterious disappeared. When
the cards were shown down the anxious
papa had only four-fush," while his
opponent displayed the missing aces.
= There was some high jumping and very
strong language INDUCED in by the good
papa, but it awaited nothing, and baby
will have to get along without carriage
A Lively DAY. Monday last was a
lively day in Phoebe, caused by couple
of cases being brought before the Justice
of the Peace. During the trial of the
assault case in the afternoon, considera-
BILE amusement was created by the conf
cal antics of one of the witnesses, who
endeavored to describe the premises in
which the assault was committed. First
he would stand on his toes, then would
very near lie down on the floor and then
with mighty spring he would bound up
into the air and turn a double somersault
and land on his feet, then thank the large
and select audience for their kind ap.
plause. There is very little dignity con-
nected with the present Justice Court.
DIED. Friday evening, week ago,
DR.. Philson was summoned down to Con.
ways ranch, in Meadow Valley Wash,
to attend stranger who had stopped
there, and who was suffering from in.
fanmation of the bowels. He shortly
died after the arrival of the doctor. The
man was an immigrant, accompanied by
his family, and had left Oregon for the
purpose Of settling in Arizona; but upon
his arrival at the Muddy, and probably
learning there that Arizona was not the
promised land" that it was represented
to be, he turned his face north and was
on his return to the Webb-foot State,
when he was taken sick and died. The
nams Of deceased was Rhoner.
THERE was rumor circulating around
during the week that ore from the black
ledge had been put through the furnace
and that it proved good smelling ore
and yielded well in silver. This is all
mistake. There was ton and quarter
OF base ore from the Raymond & Ely, that
resembled the ore of the black legde very
closely, which was put through the fur
mace, and caused the report. There is
now about forty tons of black ledge ore
at Bullionville, and twenty tons more in
the ore-house here, but there is not any
Likelihood Of the Bullionville smelling
works touching it as long as they can get
all the high grade ore they can handle.

SALARIES. -Thore are but two of our
county officials who have received pay
during the present year. They are the
Sheriff and County Clerk, who received
pay Tor the month of January. None of
the other officials have received anv nav
as yet, but it is thought thew viii get
one months salary before next Fall The
county is running behind on salaries
about $1,000 per month.
LAST week, when we alluded to the
''redtops" being in bloom, we meant the
little red flowers, known throughout this
section of country as "redtops or elm.
dian pinks," and the item contained not
the slightest inference to the ed.headed
boys and golden-haired girls of Phoebe.
We hope this explanation is satisfactory.
TEN PAHUTE ORE. We are informed
that Henry Raymond has taken con.
tract to crush ore for the prospectors at
lem Pahute at $35 per ton. The dis
lance from the mines to the mill is thirty.
five miles. This is big improvement on
hauling the ore eighty miles and paying
$25 per ton for the working of it.
The Piochers are getting over their
various fevers and conclude that they do
not want any Arizona, New Mexico or
Wood River, and will fight it out on this
line just SO long as grub lasts. They will
not run away from their hash.
THERE is large amount Of bullion
piled up at Bullionville awaiting ship
,nent. The furnace continues to run
anoothly, yielding about seven tons Of
bullion dailv
