flying trip out TO Jaehrabbit District for
the purpose Of looking at this much
,alked of claim. We found there had
been very little work as yet done on the
claim, nothing but the lime cap having
been removed. At the place where it
is intended to sink the shaft, there is
gray carbonate ore, the ledge being
claimed to be eighteen feet in width.
The assays from this ore range from $40
to 500. All indications here tend to
confirm the belief that there is 4 large de-
posit of ore at this point. A few feet up
the hill, in little hole about three feet
IN depth, between the surface dirt and
cap rock, there is a seam of soft, rich
yellow ore, we should judge from four to
seven inches in width, which assays from
$50 to $500, and of course picked pieces
would show up into the thousands. This
character of ore has been taken out at
several places ON the surface, always
found between the dirt and cap. About
three TINS of this rich ore have been ex-
tracted. This claim has remarkably
excellent top showing, and If the gray
carbonate should develop into the body
of ore that its owners believe it will they
then will have good and valuable mine.

good ore was broken. It appears to be
an immense blow out.
OLD HONESTY. "A dispatch from New
York, of May Sd, speaks thus OF Tom
Pheby, ex-superintendent of the Ray
mond & Ely Company: "Thomas B.
Pheby, some time superintendent Of the
Inyo Consolidated Mining and Milling
Company, is arrested in an action for the
recovery of $4,000 it is alleged he con.
verified to his own use. 1t is claimed
after the partial destruction by fire of the
mill and machinery of the Inyo Company
in California, Pheby was commissioned
to collect the insurance in San Francisco,
and come here and turn over all the
money in his possession belonging to the

panys property-mines, mills, railroads,

mentioned men in charge it is indeed not
at all surprising that our mines in Phoebe
are closed down, notwithstanding the
tlattering record they have earned in
time gone by as bullion producers.
WILL BE IMPRovED.-From the Aus.
tin Reveille we see that the Colorado
river is to be made navigabie. 1t says:
Much has been said on several sessions
of our Legislature about improving the
Colorado river so that it may be made
navigable. Resolutions asking help from
Congress have frequently passed, but so
far nothing has been done. But the Col
orado Steam ship Company has taken the
matter in hand and propose to clear the
stream SO that their vessels can go up to
a point 100 miles above Callville, the
present limit of navigation. On Virgin
the salt is needed by the people of Ari-
iona, Sonora and New Mexico. The
scenery is described as equal to any in
America, particularly above Fort Mo-
have" There are not any salt works on
the Virgin. There are mountains of rock
salt there, and the salt is mined or blaste
out, Just as stone. Salt from these mines
supplies the mills throughout Southern
Utah, Nevada, and Northwest Arizona.
WHEN a person on coming to Phoebe is
handed letter for the RECORD office,
we will be much obliged to them if they
would deliver the same Immediately upon
their arrival in town. On last Saturday
evening we were handed letter con.
tanning Royal City news, which was
dated May Sd, and of course too late fol
publication. All communications should
be handed in to this office Friday morn
ings.

of the Legislature. He says that ther,
