and New York, and hasn't thing in the
world to do but collect his rents IN those
cities, and his agent does that. When
he meets yondershire he is acquaint-
ed with he treats him with much con-
sideration. Lum was not one of those
who hourished in Phoebe, but is on the
top wave now. Bence Van Hagen is in
New York and well fixed also. He is a
broker now, and is becoming fine look
ing, knowing individual, superinduced
by sudden and unexpected prosperity
When we saw him last he was lugu-
brious looking individual If. there was
any hope ahead for him then it didn't
crop out on his countenance worth a
cent. He married widow with bank
account. 1t is sometimes difficult to pre-
dict the result when man marries a
widow with bank account that is not
to be sneezed at. big Phil" the oleo-
margarine individual, is also making
his presence felt in New York-on the
strength of "bull butter" He married
money and is now mining broker as
well as Bence Van Hagen. John H. Ely

RIovILLE. CLEAN the following
Rioville news from letter written by
Mr.. D. Bonelli to DR.. G. r. Alexander:
"The Texas Pacific, which is surveyed
through here to connect with the Mexi-
can system of railroads, with the Cali
fornia Central in Pahranagat Valley, is in
allegiance at present, and the Atlantic &
Pacific is progressing to its crossing at
the Needles. Steamers of the Colorado
Steam Navigation Company sometimes
reach here, coming for rock salt for the
use of mines along the river. This is the
head of navigation at present, though
some work in the river would make it
navigable to where the east line of Ne
vada reaches the river, at the mouth Of
the Grand Canyon proper, some fifty
miles above here. The boats that come
here are l60 feet long and carry from 200
to 300-horse power engines" Mr.. Boneli
commenced cutting his barley on the
18th inst.
THE New FREIGHT LINZ. The new
freight line to run between Phoebe and
Eureka, via Bristol, we learn is similar
to the Southern Forwarding Company
at Milford, and will ship freight by Nor
mon teams that they happen to catch at
Eureka. AS there are very few Mormon
teams going to that camp, and the dis
lance from Phoebe to Eureka so far and
the price paid teamsters so low, we fear il
will not prove a success. However, some
of our merchants intend giving it trial
with their goods shipped from the West.
All the goods shipped from the East,
where most of them are purchased, will
come by way of Milford, as it is much
the cheapest.
DECORATION DAY.-Tuesday, May 80
being the day on which the graves OF thu
Nations dead is to be decorated witt
garlands and flowers, and is Nationa
holiday, it has been suggested, that a.
there are several soldiers buried in oul
cemeteries, that their graves be decorated
upon that day, in a quiet way, by thei
comrades who are now in this vicinity
Those who approve of this plan are re
quested to meet at the office of Majo
Thompson Campbell next Friday evenin,
at 7 o'clock.
CoNTRAcr'FoR HAULING ORE.--G. r
Barton & Co. have secured the contrac
for hauling ore to the Day furnace a

The plank covering placed over the shat
of the old Vulture mine at the side Of tn
road to Bullionville is again being torn o

boys. During the last five years thu
