ri Dorado canyon, Is CLEANED from let-
ter bearing date of May I'D, and received
by District Attorney Patchen from Geo.
Anderson: "Both mills are running full
blast. The Lincoln mill trying to get
even, and is making success under the
management of Nat. Lewis, but will shut
down in few days, ON account of ore.
This mill has been working custom ore.
The Southwestern Company started up
to-day. They have been overhauling
the rooster for the last two weeks and
now think they will be able to run for
year. The steamer has been here and
brought 500 cords of wood, and has 1000
cords more to deliver. There is plenty
of ore in sight in the Techaticup and
Savage mines, SO l believe we will have
good times this summer and fall. John
Huess has rich gold mine ten miles
south of this place and I hear that Bob
Stein is endeavoring to purchase it for
San Francisco parties. Cronan has some
fine prospects here; but there is no chance
of obtaining ore worked. He has men
enjoyed on several claims, which promise
well. The Southwestern Company sus-
tanned loss of several thousand dollars
few days ago by the loss of their barge.
1t was loaded with about thirty tons of
hay and salt at the ferry and was on its
way down to the Canyon, under the charge
of Capt. Hans Gottfriedson. In crossing
the rapids about twenty miles north of
the Canyon, she was caught in heavy
whirlpool and dashed against large
boulder in the middle of the river and
broke in two. Here crew barely escaped
in their small boat. Men have been sent
to blast out the boulder. The river is
very low for this time of year, but is
rising. The weather is pleasant, ther-
mometer 100 degrees in the shade. Geo.
Hagerty is down here"
Our old fellow-townsman NJ. Armer,
who is travelling for the firm Of M. Armer
& Co., tobacco dealers at San Francisco,
dropped in Phoebe on Monday and spent
several days with old friends. He had
been making tour through the North
country and speaks favorably of it. He
says nothing much is going on in the
Wood River Country except prospecting,
there being very few men working for
wages there. The crowd rushing into
that country is immense, although large
number of men who have gone there are
leaving, on foot. Mr.. Armer's family are
all blessed with good health and are liv-
ing in Virginia City.
CATTLE PURCHASED. "A. Adelman, of
the old and reliable Peoples Market, has
purchased $50 head of cattle from E.
Chaffie, the missionary of Pahranagat
Valley Gus always keeps on hand a
large supply Of the best beef, veal and
mutton that can be had in the country.
He buys his cattle by the herd and sells
his meat cheap.
MILK.--Mr. L. Wyman, who keeps
a couple of cows down at the corral, pre-
ssnted us with bucket of nice milk the
other evening, for which we feel very
thankful, and although rather q mild
drink, it is big improvement upon moth
ing. There is not any danger of starving
so long as we can secure milk to drink.
| On A TR1P.-J. T. Gilmer, Mr.. Sails
bury, Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Holster,

RETURNED. - Assessor Hoffman anC
Postmaster Meyers, and the two white
mules, returned from five-week's tril
through the western and southern portion
of the county last Sunday. They lool
as beautiful as ever, but their complexion
has been slightly spoiled by the sun.
The ranchers report that the cattle
thieves are again becoming plentiful il

this class of lawless men is to give then
