Early Day Happenings
-. In Phoebe ..--

Bullion Shipped Wells, Farg,
& Co. shipped, through thei
agent, B. F. Sides, since Jul
10Th, thirty-two bars of bullion
valued at $51, 111.89, Ship
ments for the remainder of tn,
week in the same proportion ar
promised, and will amount t,
something over 100000. w,
cali that very high up" Cal
anyone point to four mills, one
five-stamp, that make a better
showing? We think not.
Clothing War The clothing
war has begun in earnest in
Phoebe, and our various cloth
ing merchants are marking down
their goods and seem to be do
ing their best to run each other
out of business. A good suit
can now be obtained for any
price ranging from SIS to $50,
and the public should take adj
vantage of the reduction and lay
in a stock Of all that is needed.
The greatest competition seems
to be between Lewis & Co. and
M. Cohn.
Prospects Of Telegraphic Com
munication B. F. Sides informs
US that the distribution of poles
along the route of the telegraph
line, between Phoebe and st.
George has been commenced at
both ends of the line. The dis
lance between the two points
being but ninety miles, we may
expect telegraphic communica-
tons within three weeks, or one
month at the outside. Phoebe
will then be in instantaneous
communication with the outside
barbarian" and all advantages
occurring from the completion of
the work will be ours, or theirs,
we hardly know which. 1t will
not be necessary for the highly
imaginary outsiders to trust to
the grapevine" for their SEN
sational reports of the doings in
Phoebe, unless the cost of dis
patch outweighs their curiosity. |
Dispatches from this place will
no doubt be looked for with
breathless interest, and no daily
paper win be considered first
class that does not contain the
regular dispatches from Phoebe
q place to which all journals
OF the State of Nevada look for
their first-class killing items.
Another Gold Mine. "A mine
called the Mary, owned by ]. ]. |
and M. D. Halpin and Louis
Felsenthal, which was located a
short time since, and thought to
contain nothing but silver UP to |
within a day or two ago, now
proves to be a gold mine as well. |
The discovery induced the own
ers to make test of the ores,
and they were agreeably sur
prlsed to find that it contained
gold in paying quantities. We
were shown the result of the
washing from decomposed quartz
and it looks very well. The vein
is about two and a half feet in
width and is thought to contain
gold throughout. The owners of
the Mary are justly eleated over
their good fortune and have put
2 force of men to work develop
ing the mine.
This week there was shipped
from the Raymond & Ely Com
pany eight Of the largest bars Of
bullion ever made in the State
/ of Nevada. The total value of
the eight bars was $24, 778. az.
an average Of about So, 972. So
per bar. The bullion was run
at the company's mill at Meadow
Valley and assayed by John Ca
hill, the well known assayer Of
Phoebe. The ore, we think.
came from the mine sunk on the
ground recently purchased from
che Western Extension Company
and Phoebe No. 2, which mine,
from present appearances prom
lses 70 be the biggest thing yet
discovered IN the district.
