The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1886-06-12

The Onandago mine Of Jackrabbit, we
learn from Henry Welland, who was out
there on Sunday last. is looking fine. The
ore vein is now about eighteen inches in
width. Everything about this mine in.
dictates body Of ore near at hand, and
only depth will determine this fact. This
property has not been worked altogether
q, it should have been. Later.--From
Pat McDonough, disinterested party,
who returned from Jackrabbit on Thurs
day, we are informed that they struck
a handsome body Of ore in the mine
the first Of the week. The ore is
between three and four feet in width and
solid. On the sldcs Of the ore the ground
is loose and somewhat broken, being spar,
lime and iron mixed. They are just on
the top of it. Az yet there have been no
assays made Of this ore. In character it
is about the same as that taken out
above. According to description, this
mine is destined to become valuable
piece Of mining property, and it now
looks that Yves Williams was about to
grasp the big buckskin bag Of twenties
that he has 80 long been dreaming Of.
The future for Phoebe looks much
brighter than II has for long while. A
number Of men during tho week have
been placed at work calking water tanks,
and doing other work necessary for the
resumption Of active operation in the
mines. What will be the name Of the
new company that is about formed we
did not learn, but are informed that
most Of the stock has been subscribed
MIR. LID, Davis, Al experienced and thor.
ough miner, who in years gone by has
worked in the principal mining camps Of
this State and California, has been ap-
pointed foreman Of the company and is
doing al that lies in his power in having
all works placed in readiness, but it will
take considerable time yet before this
will be accomplished. After completion
Of arrangements by the company work
will then be prosecuted with vigor
At Bunkerville, an isolated Mormon
settlement in the southeastern part Of
this county, the school census just taken
shows has twenty. children between
the ages Of and Is years Of age, seven
Of whom are girls and twenty boys. This
stake presents very unfAverable outlook
for polygAmy. The Lord must BE- aid
Ing 10 crushing ont this practice. Tor dur
ing the last three year,, in this county,
it is very apparent that the births anon
the Mormons, the male babies greatly OK
coed the female. Whereas. prior to thi'
time, the birth Of the female greatly pre-
dominated over that Of the male. Thii
is strange, bat true.
While at play at Beaver several small
children managed to get hold Of SOM
matches, also bottle Of turpentine tina
had been used during the day for clean
ing furniture. In some manner the cloth
ing Of the little 3-year.old son Of D. L
McDonough was set on FIRE, and the oths
children noticing it, one Of them pickle,
up the bottle Of turpentine, thinking !
was water, and poured it on the child 70
the purpose Of putting out the fame
Tho child was horribly burned and die
in about six hours after the accident.
For . person who has always Doe
working about mines, and knows moth
ing Of them, many Of tho old vetera
prospsctors will take the cake. The
exercise no more ssnse and judgment !
working piece Of mining property tina
person who never saw hole in tn
ground, and they are always labcriu
under hallucination. Aa
Now that work on some Of the mimi
property in Phoebe is about to commence
We would not advise all the idle men
the country to come to Phoebe for worl
for they will be doomed to disappoin
There ere sufficient number Of men hel
at the present TO do all work required.
From the lively manner in which son
Of the aspirants for Office are ssttir
around We ere lead TO the belief that u
political bee d tsoubling them othsrwi
than in the bonnet.
