Drought lHtO the OsceOia SOlu mines THIS
season. Messrs. Godbe and Hampton,
while at Bullionville the other day, who
own $40 acres of patented placer ground
in Osceola District, said that they had
completed arrangements for bringing
water into that district. They had not
yet decided as to whether they would
tiume the water or bring it in with pipes,
but thought they would pipe it. This
will make Osceola bloom with industry
and the gold that the rich gravel will
yield will pay handsome returns to the
enterprising gentlemen for their trouble
and labor The money fer CARRYING out
this project was advanced by the late
Trenor W. Park.
.DAY.-Considerable stir and hustle has
been going on around the Day Company S
property since the arrival of Mr.. A. X.
Grim at Royal City last Saturday, and a
better feeling seems to- prevail in that
vicinity. He visited Phoebe on Wednes-
day and received hearty welcome from
his numerous friends T. E. Flagg re-
turned to Royal City on Tuesday night
and has taken charge of the Day mine as
foreman. Mr.. Terry, the acting superin
tendent, will remain here couple of
weeks yet and assist Mr. Grim in getting
the run of the ropes of the company 5

DIED. Humphrey Lynch died at Ward
last Saturday His wife received word
Sunday morning that her husband was
very sick, and to come there Immediately.
She left on Mondays stage but on arriv-
ing at Ward was informed that her hus-
band had died. Lynch had been ailing
Tor long time with "giant powder con-
sumption" and all here knew that his
days were numbered. While in Ward
he caught slight cold, and this fastened
his death. He leaves wife and five
children in Phoebe to mourn his loss;
also a married daughter residing in the
East.
WILL LEAvE.-J. L. Sears, who has
been a resident of Phoebe for the past
twelve years, during which time he has
been in charge of the Western Union
Telegraph office, will leave on Monday
accompanied by his family, for Omaha,
Nebraska, where he will spend some three
months with his relations, and from
thence will return to this coast and settle
somewhere in California Mr. Sears has
been in poor health for the past couple of
years.
IT takes Bob Husband to utter fer.
vent prayer when he bumps his head
against the top Of the low door down at
the mill while passing through it. A
person hearing Bob uttering one Of his
prayers. is liable to mistake him for a
Mormon Bishop, who has just discovered
that one of his wives has been spirited
away by an ungodly Gentle. The words
seem to issue from the bottom of his
heart.
SILVER KING.-Out at Silver King
District, in the lower end of Cave Val
ley, rich ore has been encountered in a
mine owned by d. c. McCarter and
Jack Sheridan. Silver King District has
always produced very rich ore, but not
in large quantities. This is the place
where John Huess used to get his ore
that would pulp from 900 to 81, 500 at
the mill.
IT is now pretty certain that work will
be resumed upon many of the mines in
Bristol District this summer. We would
not be surprised of witnessing some very
active mining work going ON along the
whole of the range between Bristol and
Phoebe, and particularly in the vicinity
Of Royal City, where many of the pros.
poets are showing excellent ore.
CHARLEY CRAIG, who has been en-
ployed in the Office of Wells, Fargo &
Co.. in Phoebe for long time, left on
Friday for Eureka, where he will be in
stalled into position in the company's
office there, with increased pay Charley
is a young man of steady habits and can
be depended upon in any position of trust
in which he may be placed.
NOTWITHSTANDING that the San Fran.
cisco newspapers are publishing reports
that Eugene Howell is to be married to a
young lady in Europe, New York, San
Jose, etc, we can state, on the best of
authority, that there is not any truth in
such reports, because Howell is engaged
to wed two young ladies out at Bristol.
A. ). BLAIR, who has been spending
some time over in White Pine county
gives a good account of the mines in
Taylor District. 1t is the universal opin.
ion Of the residents in that vicinity that
there will be busy time there during
the summer.
AN auction sale of household furniture
will take place to-day at o'clock, at the
residence of J. L. Sears, on McCannon
street This is q splendid opportunity
for all persons DESTROYS of purchasing
household furniture cheap.
JOHN SHERIDAN and family will leave
Bristol to-day for Wood River. Mr..
Sheridan is interested in mining property
in Wood River and his partners have
sent for him to come there. We wish
him luck.
