ers are kept busily at work. 1t is sur.
prising the amount OF work that has been
done there the past two months. The
ledge holds its own in the different parts
If the mine, and assays from $50 to $40
in silver and 25% lead. This ore is the
hest flux that the furnace has ever had to
work with Day ore, containing every
thing that the furnace requires for work
ing. One big advantage of this mine, is
that there are no ladders to climb. As
We passed through the various drifts and
tunnels, it put us in mind of the under
ground passages OF castles in olden times,
that we had read about. As work pro-
crosses into the hill, the vacant space is
filed with waste, to prevent caving.
Many OF the large timbers put in the
mine have bowed with the immense
weight upon them, and if it had not of
been for the filling in with the waste,
the top of the mountain would have
caved in long ere this The cut at the
west end of the mine, though into the
hill forty feet further than the old CHS
holm tunnel, has not yet struck the place
where the ledge turns down.
ASoruEs VICTIM victim of
Giant powder was added to its already
prodigious list on Saturday last. John
Wyman, miner well-known in the dit.

brought in from Bristol on Thursday,

he iell to the floor dead, and on Sunday
he was placed amidst the sleepers, who
will never awake, down at the foot of the
hill. 1t is surprising to see. in this small
community, the large number of miners
affected by the poisonous Giant powder,
and who. In the near future. will aug
meat the great list OF victims OF Giant
powder. The poisonous smoke gets into
the miners lungs, and forms q coating
over them, and then proceeds on its work
Of destruction. At first, owing to the
coating formed over the lungs. they seem
to be unaffected to the physician. yet the
pOision is there, slowly and surely eating
the victims life away. All these
poisonous explosives should be legislated
out of the country.
LET'S CoNvISCK HrN.-As the Hon.
Geo. W. Cassidy will arrive in Phoebe to-
day, and as he claims to be unaware Of
the fact that Nevada has any rivers, we
suggest to his Democratic friends, that
As seeing is believing. they convince him
of his error by taking him down and
exhibiting to him the Rio Colorado, q
large and great river, and the only water
outlet to the sea Of the inter-mountain
country, and as feeling IS the naked truth,
they duck him into it several times.
Thi. would convince him that Nevada
has go. = river, and a very large one, too.
The horses stolen from Swiss Bob have
all been recovered and brought back t.
his ranch. The thief was not captured,

PAY-DAY.-We were shown during Il
week some very nice specimens OF VIII
quartz containing galena, taken from Il
shaft of the Payday mine. This is
new character of rock for Jackrabbit Di
trict. The bottom of the shaft is now
ledge matter. At depth of 200 feet
drift will be run. The shaft is beil
sunk at the rate of foot per day.
Orr from the black ledge of the Ra
mond 4 Ely mine, which was sorted al
thrown ont on the dump as was,
proves to be pretty valuable waste roc
The other day Mr.. ]. V. Kelley pick
up a chunk of waste rock and had
assaysd, 1t showed 100 odd ounces
silver and 3o% lead. Certainly not b
showing for waste rock.

considered very good authority, that t
