FROM SOUTH AFRICA. letter was
received by DR.. Bell from our ex-fellow-
townsman William Hughes, who left
Phoebe several months ago, and is now at
Port Alfred, Cape Colony. Hughes ar
rived there on the 7th of last November,
and according to the letter, things are not
prosperous in that country for the work
ing classes. We quote: II have trav-
eled much of the country looking for
work. I am now working on the line, ON
piece work, and have four or five blacks
working for me; but for all this I would
rather be with you in Nevada, for it is a
better country by far than this. 1t is
very hot and dry here, and sometimes
very windy. l thought of going to the
diamond fields when I first arrived, but
learned that it was of no good going there
then, as it was very dull and there were
a large number of idle men there await
ing chances for obtaining employment,
with very little encouragement for sue.
cess. The same state Of affairs, am in
formed, exists at the gold fields.
A RuMoR is flying around on the out
side that the Raymond & Ely property
has changed hands and will soon be put
in active operation. If there is any truth
in the above rumor the people in Phoebe
know nothing about it, not even those
who are in charge of the property. For
the last three weeks there has been three
men employed repairing the shaft, por.
ton of which was not in safe condition
for the cage to occasionally pass up and
down, and cause circulation of air, thus
preventing the timber from rotting. The
repairing of the shaft, and person jok-
ingly remarking that the Raymond & Ely
was going to start up shortly, caused all
these wild rumors. As much as we de.
sire that such was the case, matters and
things indicate otherwise. If the Ray
mond & Ely should only start up work,
the boys would not be under the painful
necessity of bringing in" advertising bills

A number of very rich and handsome
specimens are being brought in from the
hills, and Stampede produces the finest
of them all. There are certainly very
rich deposits of ore out there somewhere
and the energy which is now being dis
played by the prospectors of that locality
lead us to the belief that Stampede vii
possess mines in the near future that will
rank second to none in this vicinity. A
