1t is noticeable fact, that of all the
property ow nsrs Of Phoebe, the p. G
Z NJ. & II. Co. seems to have taken most
pains to have its property look well.
This is not on account of the great
amount involved, as there are individual
property owners here, who could as easily
more easily in fact, afford to add a few
dollars to the vulue of their property by
making it look neat as the z. C. NJ.
& Il. Co.
When the smelter was being built last
summer, the Company engaged the SER
vices of Mr.. F. w. Dickle to adorn
its. new propeltJ With coat Of paint to
protect it from the weather and enhance
Its structural beauty. This Mr. Dickle
has done in so creditable manner that
he is constantly engaged every moment
Of the time he can devote to his occupa.
ton in painting the other buildings and
structures owned by the Company. He
has visited the Mendha, and the cid
weatherworn buildings as well as the
new have received touch from his ar :
tistic hard that has transformed them
from the old novels that they were to the
present cheerful habitations they now
are. Mr.. d. ha, performed the same
needed service at the Half Moon, and as
soon as he is through with the new dwell
ings at the smelter, he will proceed to
Royal City and render the same improve
ment there. The company is indeed 70
tunate in securing the services Of so
thorough an artist ns Mr.. Dckle, and
could he be spared from their employ it
would certainly be to the advantage of
others to secure him. tl+3A

DEAR sIR-It would no doubt be in
teresting to the readers of your valuable
paper to learn of the misfortune of Mr.
John Nordan, who was hurt at the Half
Moon mine on the 10th day Of October
last. He was breaking rock
with the hammer and piece
flew into his eye. He was sent to Salt
Lake City and was attended by the best
oculist of that city; all medical skill was
displayed to save the eye but to no avail.
The eye had to be taken out and it sc
affected the other eye that Mr. Nordan
cannot see. He is now in the Holy Cross
hospital at Salt Lake City in this condi.
ton. A list will be circulated in the
near future for his benefit

Vows--A rrotty Event.

The wedding of Mr.. Robert Martin
and Miss Matte Corners Monday even
ing the 2Sth inst was somewhat a re.
minder of the old fuedal times, for a
merrier and more iovial crowd never
graced ancestral halls. Both the bride
and bridegroom are residents of Phoebe,
and well known in social circles.
The ceremony was performed by Judge
Thorne in very impressive manner, and
the two were launched upon the sea of
matrimony. The bride looked too lovely
for description, but as many of our fair
readers would like to know her attire,
we will briefly say: Her dress was of
cream colored silk nuns yelling trimmed
with lace. A wreath of orange blossoms
encircled her brow, and with white kid
slippers, completed her bridal attire

rem were the main support OF the con-
tracing couple, Miss Lizzie being
dressed in cream nuns yelling trimmed
ia silk, and very becoming. After the
ceremony the usual brides cake was
passed around aud moistened With cham
payne. An adjournment was taken to
the hotel where an tlegent collation. was
served, and the guests returned to re-
new the festivities. The presents were
rare and costly, and judging from the
well stocked table on which they were
placed the status and esteem in which
the bride and groom were held bore
ocular demonstration.
As the wee sma' hours approached the
guests departed, leaving best wishes for
their old fiiend Bob and his lovely
bride.
