and is located in Mohave county. The ore

men there have been making grub chic
riding. There in now en- old gold mill

Basin District, by several parties who
have bonded claims. This mill will be

AN EXODUS During the past eight
days large number of people have left
this part of the country, most of them
being old timers. Bristol lost nearly
half of its Inhabitants the other day, all
departing in one solid band, feeling gay
and happy. The few who remained es.
corted their friends two miles out of
town. This party were destined for the
Wood River Country. A host of the
Plochers have departed for other fields
and pastures new. Most OF them have
gone to Wood River and Montana, while
others will search for employment as near
Phoebe as they possibly can. If this sort
OF thing keeps up for another week there
will not be a man left in Phoebe. We
wish them all the best of luck and hope
that they will soon strike it big.
