A number of Phoenixites are

seeds to plant, as the, climate here

ed. While passing the warehouse

MINKS ASl MIXING.
, W. J. Stanley, from the Home
stake mine near Woodville, reports
work in the mine progressing with
very satisfactory results. Good
rock is taken from ihe tunnel, and
the mill will b started in May.
Wm. Grav and I'.iily Short are
busy prosjH-cting their quartz lead
on Coleman gulch. The rock lojks
well, although there is a consider
able base metal in it. The ledge is
about two feet wide. From our
Phoenix correspondent.
Alex. Orme is doing no small
amount of work on his mines on
both Galls and Foots creeks. He
rcxrts the prospects glowing with
a hue that is peculiar to the yellow
metal. The past winter he says
has been just what was needed for
the development of mining inter
ests plenty of snow in the moun
tains and consequently plenty of
water in the creeks and gulches.
E. Stevens, a gentleman who re
sides iu the vicinity of Woodville,
was in Meilford Saturday, and from
him we heard that the mining ex
citement was running high in that
locality. Himself, together with
E. M. Hill, own the Mount Fielder
ledge and are now at work develop
ing it. Last year cosiderable work
was done and some good ore was
taken out, but this year they have
already run in with a seventy foot
tunnel, and while they have not as
yet struck the main ledge they are
confident of a rieh find when they
do reach it. This ledge is near the
celebrated Stanley mine.
While the gold excitement is run
ning at a high temperature, little
attention is given to other mineral
finds, hut a well defined vein of an
thracite coal is a find that will one
day out rank them all. E. Pleas
ant. D. L. Mutton, Sam'l and J;s.
G ray, who reside on Elk creek,
claim to have found such a . mine
and are only waiting for facilities,
such as a railroad, before opening
up the mine and producing their
excellent coal in ;nmense quanti
ties. They have only ojened up
the mine a short distance but have
found a four foot vein of a very su
perior quality 'f this coal.
Angle A 1'lymalt- have received
their new ami elegant stock of dress
goods.
C. I). TYalrath is wrathy. and he
has every reason to he so. Some mis
erable cur a blot on God's green earth
is almost nightly venting his spleen
on this gentleman by tearing pickets
form his fence, on C street. Should
this infection of low-lived meanness
continue the perpertrator will take
home one of these nights a billet of lead
that will not be citsy to digest.

Quite a number of the young people
of this vicinity gathered at the resi
dence of F- Stevens one evening last
we-k bent on having -a good time.
Judging from the amount of noise made,
and the number of oyster cans opened,
we verily believe they had it. The fun
was kept up till the "wee 'sma hours."
Quite a surprising event took place
here this evening in the form of a
dmihle wedding. Squire Simpkins of
