The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1884-03-01

No MAII.-The mail on the route from
the north by which all the Eastern and
Western mail is received throughout this
whole section, is about twenty days be-
hind time. The last stage ON this route
that arrived was on the 2lst ult., and
there is no telling when we will ever get
another. We know of no cause for this
long delay in the mails. OF course after
| ago, the roads were impossible, and it
took some time to get the first mail
through, and certainly two weeks were
ample time for this. On the route com.
ing up from Utah, known as the Salt
Lake route, by which little or no mail
comes to Nevada, the snow was fully as
heavy as on the Eureka route, but
| Bishop Terry, who is in charge, left the
old road, secured men and cut road by
the roundabout way of Clover Valley,
and dropping all his coaches, sends the
mail through on the saddle. Why could
this not have been done on the route
from the North, if it is really so very
bad?
| AFTER the above was set up on Friday
morning, the stage put in an appearance,
with mail, and in the afternoon Culver
well arrived from Bristol with four sacks
of mail, the stage horses being too weak
to haul it to town.
WE have finally got moved into our
new quarters, though not fully settled.
This thing of moving is no pleasant job,
especially when one is troubled with
heavy complicated machinery that has to
be taken all apart. To those who so
nobly aided us, they shall not go unre-
warded for the good deed, for we will
| always remember to speak a good word
for them In our prayers, when we pray.
JOHN HENRY was "A years Of age yes.
terday, it being his twelfth birthday.
His first birthday he remembers nothing
of, as on that day they kept him smoth-
cred under the blankets to prevent light
getting to his eyes. John treated on
this occasion. This thing of having a
birthday once in four years don't 60.
It's too long between drinks
WE are informed, by what we consider
good authority, that wages of the men
employed by the Stormont company, of
Silver Reef, have lately been reduced.
| Now the engineers and blacksmiths re-
ceive 81 per day, miners So, top hands
81. so, amalgamators at mill $375, and
wages of all other employees have been re.
duced accordingly.
Mr.. AND Mrs. FRANZ GoDBE have
left Frisco and gone to Salt Lake to re-
side, at least for the present. Mr.. Godbe
is in the office of the firm at that city.
There is no telling how soon the trouble
of the Frisco NJ. & s. Company's affairs
will be settled.
The snow has mostly all vanished be.
fore the hot rays of the sun and all are
glad of it. We like snow, on top of the
mountains; but we do not like to have it
piled high on the roof We never were
overly fond of shoveling snow
VERY little news of interest was found
in the papers brought in Friday, the
Salt Lake Tribunes of later date having
been received last Tuesdry.
QUITE number of the ranchers were
in town during the week. They hitched
up four horses to their wagons and broke
the roads to town.
NEXT week, the road having become
settled, the Rustler will start in making
regular trips between Phoebe and Bristol.
THE weather is fine, but the walking
is miserable.
