way beyond the Germanic English dia-

his several characterizations in this

years enough have elapsed since they

with a manifest effort. And there is

Early Days in Phoebe
BY JOSIAH ROBERTSON.

Mining company, for one or two
months shipment of lumber and min
ing timbers from the Little Creek
mountains.
AS early as 6 or a. m. the mining
superintendent and secretaries would
shake the doors of our Office and see
that we listed in red ink the first COM
er's messages for transmission. From
then till 1890 p. m. and midnight al
most every day and night we were
busy. If business Stacked up, some
evenings we would lock the doors about
10 O'Clock and then, with Kenner on
the banjo, and his dancing 1.-THE Es-
sence of Old Virginia." Eddy Shipp, on
his guitar; Ashworth and the writer as
chorus, would while away an hour or
two with our own frolic in preference
to gilded palaces and hurdy halls that
never knew our patronage.
Sherwood was the assessor and col
leetor for Phoebe and Lincoln county
In II and IL, and during his reign the
law governing the assessing of prop
erty was most fearfully abused. Scores
and hundreds of loads of lumber from
Beaver and Parowan were assessed and
taxed as they reached the bottom of
Main street, and were not allowed to
unload their burdens at the mines, the
yards of the lumber merchants or hoist
ing works until the payment of the tax
was secured. Sherwood was the as
SCISSOR, collector county court, board of
commissioners and the board of iniQui
ty. There was no appeal or redress.
The writer's brother was stopped on
Main street with two loads of lumber
from Parowan, four span of mules and
horses, and before he was allowed to
deliver the loading at the Meadow
Valley hoists s45 had to be paid to
Sherwood's deputy. in the face of the
Parowan assessors note that the teams
had been assessed in Utah that year.
A widows son came from Sanpete
with a span of mules, wagon and about
], 900 pounds of flour. potatoes, beans,
onions. etc., and before he was allowed
to sell one pound a restaurant keeper
had TO pay the deputy $3.50 taxes.
This incident, and the assessing of
the late j. H. Dupaix's team from
Utah, broke the camel's
back. He brought the matter before
Judge Fuller, in chambers, in Phoebe
in an ex parte motion, and the district
staying with the judge and
holding that any property could only
be assessed once in the year, stopped
the fearful rascality and robbery that
to over $4,000 in the year ~
on Mormon teams laden with lumber
and produce from Utah, and not a
tenth of which found its way to the
treasury.
The county went in debt s260.000 in
II, ~ and '73, and the assessment on
the bullion, amounted to half the in
debtedness. The sheriff's Office was
worth $4,000 a year. and whatever
reached the treasurer was his.
People in Nevada and many other
states have learned better since then,
and that a public Office is public
trust, and the dollars therein must be
handled more carefully than persons
own dimes.

Early Days in Pioche' will be chrome

the credit of General Connor than the
acquisition of wealth.
The spring at the Highlands is four

the fact that the general and his faith

Shoaf, at the Bear river fight. walked
and rode over this distance two or
three times. is fresh in the memory of
the writer from the generals own

pines, ruIl or turpentine and tar, on
the hills between the Mendha mines
and Phoebe solved the problem.
They were cut and hauled and bored
the trench was dug, winding around
scores of hills and narrow rocky can
yons to insure the necessary descent

The Deseret telegraph line reached
Phoebe before General Connor's line
was completed. but none the less was
the reception when his manager, Mr.
Shoaf, filled the glasses with the pure
mountain water from the Highlands,
free gratis to every miner, merchant,
woman and child that day in Phoebe.
