price Of their property also. There has
been a company OF mining men formed
several times for the purchase OF these
mining properties. but when they go pre-.

.erai thousand dollars. The owners OF

THE Mormons intend moving the
railroad in the following manner. They
will first move the track and materials
here in Phoebe down to Delmoi's ranch,
then they will remove the track from the
Bullionville end up to the same place,
then all the material will be removed to
Iron City. 1t is the intention at present
to take up and relay the track as they
go on. Before they arrive halfway to
their destination, it is safe to predict
that they will give up this method of
removing the road.
IT is to be sincerely hoped that the
coming New Year will be more pros
porous one than the year that is drawing
to close. 1t certainly has not been one
of prosperity for Nevada But it has now
about run its allotted time. There will
be but two more grains left in the glass
after to-day that will drop, then old
Father Time will gather it in and store
it away with the other old years gone
before Goodbye, old year, We bid you
adieu.

cided to get up dance for that evening

Der of people present.
