| Grim, Managing Director of the Day, ar
rived in town from Jackrabbit on Sun
day last, and on that afternoon and Mon
day morning those gentlemen visited a
number of mines and inspected them.
Mr.. Terry was sent here for the especial
| purpose of examining and reporting to
certain capitalists the condition of our
mines, and we feel satisfied that he was
favorably impressed with thing or two.
| During his short stay in Phoebe he re-
newed his acquaintance with many old
time friends. Strange as it may appear,
| they all agreed that they We're not so
young-loolking as they used to was, but
| then they behave themselves little bet
ter, and that makes all shings even.

| PATENT SECURED. Geo. L. Finnagin
has been notified by the U. S. Patent De-
partment at Washington that he has been
granted patent on the monkey wrench
invented by him. This wrench is big
improvement upon the old style monkey
wrench, and being a tool which all me-
chanics must have; in fact most every per-
SON must have-the teamster, the farmer
etc.-Gcorge will propably make an. in
dependent fortune out of it in very
/ short time.
| A NUMBER of Phoebe Indians are re-.
/ ported as being out at Flat Nose ranch
engaged in planting squashes, etc., for
their own consumption. The Indians
plant their grain in little punches. This
IS done because the red men have no
mode for. cutting it except with kives,
and they plant enough grain in hill to
/ to make a bunch that can be gathered in
one hand. The grain is thrcshed out in
blankets. 49,. .z.s.-t !. l-stz
i RACES. On next Thursday, the ODD
instant, there will be race run on the

tered for this race, owned by Charles
Mathews, John Smith, e. Hooper and
Dan Nyswonger. The race for this purse
will take place between 10 A. NJ. and 8
Pm. Here's chance for Piochers to

THERE is considerable stir and. hustle
now going on around the works of the
Day Company at Jackrabbit, Bristol and
Highland. The officers Of the company
are pushing work forward as rapidly as
possible. The furnace will be started up
as soon as everything is in readiness, but
not until then. When it does start it is
the intention to keep it running steadily
for long time. ~
THE hooking birds, which have not
been around this section for the last fou,
years, have returned and there are quite q
lot out in the hills. Several young ones
have been caught. These birds must
have discovered that DR.. Nichols woulc
remain in Silver Reef this summer ant
that their nests would not be meddlet
with if they returned to their old stamp
ing-ground.
JOHN G. LYNCH has again been strucl
by lightning. We learn that he has jus
succeeded in disposing of couple o
claims out in Utah to New Workers ant
the money has been paid down. We con
graduate Lynch on his good luck, for h
certainly deserves it. He expends NOR
money in prospecting and developing tn,
country than any man in this vicinity.
