-s In Phoebe ..-.

BOTTOM FELL OUT-Th
Salt Lake stage which left her
on Tuesday, was so heavily load
ed with bullion that the bottom
of the stage was broken through
before leaving the Office. TIL
bullion was slowed away il
other parts of the stage and n,
great delay was occasioned b!
the accident.
Wells, Fargo & Co. shipped
through their agent, B. F. Sides.
since our last issue, 81 bars OF
bullion, valued at $44, 726.19.
Bullion Assayed John Cahil
yesterday assayed six bars OF
bullion from the Raymond &
Ely Company's mines, which
makes a better showing than
any yet produced in the district,
showing by assay to be worth
$21, 485. 05. Cahill has assayed
$61, 500. "a for this company since
the first of August.
Since our last issue Aug. 10,
1879 Wells, Fargo & Co.,
shipped through their agent, B.
F. Sides, 10 bars of bullion, val
uesd at $32, 467. 81.
County Jail There are at
present confined in the county
jail, four prisoners awaiting the
action of the grand jury, as fol-
lows: Jones, Leary and Miller,
charged with horse stealing and
James Kennedy, charged with
the killing of big Jack" which
took place last winter in John
j. Monahan's saloon. Much
conlpfafut 10 ,aaade of tho inferior
manner in which the Jail is ven-
tilated, and it is almost impos-
sible for the prisoners to live
there. The county commission
ers now is session, should see
to it that this evil is at once
remedied, and the completion of
the new jail should be pushed
forward with all possible
speed, The old Jail could then
be used as calaboose for DRINKS.
We give notice to a certain in
dividual, who has been little
airy with us, and who we trusted
for a small printing bill, to call
at this Office and settle, if he
does not wish a little gratutious
advertising. We will not say
nothing about what we contrib
uted in other ways, at present,
but it all depend on a speedy
settlement. We viii say fur
ther that we have an eye on all
out going stages.
Bullionville On Thursday last
we made a trip to Bullionville,
with Charley Williams of the
stage line to that place, and cir
culated around among the mills,
which were all running, giving
the place a very animated APP
pearance. We were shown
through the splendid 20-stamI
mill of the Raymond & Ely Co.
by Mr.. l.. B. Seaver, superin
tendent, which, under his man.
agement, is now turning ou
some of the finest silver bars il
State, both in size and quality
A. S. Eastland, the bookkeeper
also showed us many attentions
of which we make acknowledge
ment. We next visited the littl,
5-stamp mill known as the Ely
& Raymond, and which has don,
such signal service at present
and for some time past under
the direction of J. E. Patten
whom we found on hand, not
withstanding he but a few weeks
since took unto himself a wife
but business is bushes and get
ting married is a different thing
altogether. The little mill keeps
up its lick and turns out more
bullion than any mill of the same
capacity on the Coast. We next
visited tho Chicago mill, under
the superintendency of A. H.
Boyden, which is at present
running on rock from No. 8, of
the Phoebe Company's mines,
giving very satisfactory results.
