NEW MINES. Observation-Disclosures has
been new mining country discovered in
this county. Al. Jones, of Little Cherry
Creek, Nye COUNTY, who has been travel
ing considerable to and fro between his
ranch and Phoebe within the last year,
reported the finding of rich float about
fifty miles from Phoebe, in what is called
the Timber Mountain Range" Some
three weeks or so ago Hall Gear, at the
request of Jones, went out there and
prospected little While there he
uncovered a ledge, the groupings of
which can be traced for over 500 feet
He broke from the ledge piece of iron
looking rock, which he supposed to be
worthless, and brought it to town and
had it assayed. 1t went, SS4 in silver
Gear not entertaining a good opinion of
the country, let the matter drop. How
ever, w. Ill. Newton thinking $S4 in sill
yer good surface showing, left for the
new field At Bristol A. c. House, c.
Quilici, Grant Porter and AL. Jones, all
joined him, and after they arrived at the
new place several days were spent run
ming cuts along the side OF the mountain,
uncoyering lodges. Samples of ore were
taken from the top of the different
lodges and brought TO Phoebe. The ore
is free milling, and is very good appear
ing rock. The sample from the first cut
assayed silver, $l53.9l; I'd cut, 149. 10;
81, S5o.27. A copper ledge was also dis
covered, and the assay of the ore went
% per cent. copper and S37. 70 in silver
There were five locations made by the
above named parties all being jointly in
terested in the claims. OF course it is
yet to be determined whether the new
lind will amount to anything; but the top
showing is good and the men are very
sanguine, as is usually the case. They
left town on their return to the mines
Wednesday afternoon These locations
are situated about twenty-five miles west
OF Bristol, and about twelve miles from
Coyote Springs.
Coop RESULTS. = The result of the
eight days run Of the little failing mill at
the lower end of town has proven very
satisfactory to its projectors. Seven hun
dred and fifty-fivo ounces of silver were
extracted during the run. Daring the
few days that the mill ceased running
the building was rooted in, retort built,
and other improvements made. The mill
commenced active operations again last
Monday and will continue to run steadily,
provided no unforeseen accident should
interfere.
CHARLEY jerks, an insane man, is
running at large in Pahranagat Valley,
armed with a Winchester. He has shot
one -Iadian,- and has shot at several
others. jerks labors under the halluc
nation that there are men following him
whJ desir. to take his life, and will not
permit any one to 20 near him, and none
Of the white settl .rs care about getting
within range of ms gun.
A DOSE of several shot, remarks an
eminent feline physician, will cure cat
troubled with fits. We suppose the shot
ale TO be administered to the cat by
ejectm INT, between the eyes, through the
muzlle Of a gun. This is not one OF DR..
Bells prescriptions.
THE ladies attending the calico ball on
Wednesday evening next are each ex-
pected to bring bow, made of the same
material as the dress which they wear
that evening, and deposit it with the
committee. Don't you forget it.
CHARCOAL is being hauled and deposited
IN the coal bins of the furnace at Bristol
, The coal men were permitted to do this
by the company, but the company
neither receives or pays for the coal. 1t
looks like business, at any rate.
WORK is now being resumed on many
Of the base ore prospects along the range
between Phoebe and Bristol. The pre-
va!ling idea that the Day furnace will re-
sumo operations at no distant day IS the
cause OF it.
The S atiny rink is all the go It is
fun to roll around on wheels, but where
the fun comes in to slide aroun on
your back, we tail to observe. How yer,
different people look at fun in n different
light.
AT the Peoples Market can be found
the best meats to be had in the land.
The mutton is as fine as any that has ever
been brought into the mal ket, and the
beet is the best that can be obtained
ANDY FIFE is expected to arrive either
to-day or tomorrow from FL Dorado
Canyon. He is accompanied by his wife,
who recently became deranged, and will
be placed under the care Of the doctor.

made in the Day mine during the past
two weeks. The showing on the 9TH,

more particularly that of the sth.
