BULLIONVILLE.


day on their trip to Bullionville we
took occasion OF visiting the Raymond &
Ely mill, now il charge of John Cahill.
We found that the eighteen pans were
running day and night to their full Ca
pacity on tailings, the eight settlers also
being busily employed. AImagam was
being turned out in pretty large quanti-
ties. the retorts being made ready to con-
vert it into bullion. The tailings are
being worked now to much better ad-
vantage than they have heretofore been,
and the daily manipulation of them will
make the process of working come easier
as they are handled and tested. The
battery of the mill is now being fixed
ready to start crushing ore. Ore is 40
cumulating at the mine and will be sent
down pretty rapidly when the battery
gets to work.
Near the Raymond IL Ely mill Hugh
White has his concentration works con-
centrating tai!ings from the Magnet mill.
He is at present only able to work few
hands, owing to the Raymond & Ely
mill being unable to pump a sufficient
amount of water, having to use so much
for the mill. To remedy this defect Mr..
White has sent to Salt Lake City for a
pump, by means Of which he will be en-
abled to secure large supply of water
The pump is expected to arrive there
this evening.
The furnace is at a stand still and it is
not known when it will start to work,
although it Ia expected daily.
The business portion of Bulionviile
looks much better since our last visit to
that burg and the business men are not
now complaining.
AT Work ON THE ROAD. sheriff Nc
Kee arrested and locked up Sunday two
Indians for being drunk around the
streets. He endeavored to get them to
inform on the parties who sold them the
liquor, but did not succeed. On last
Monday and Tuesday he placed these
two red sons OF the sagebrush on the
road to work, under the superintendence
of the man who is held under charge OF
appropriating somebody elses mutton,
picking and digging ont the rocks. On
Tuesday evening the Indians concluded
that they had done enoug toward the
internal improvement of the county, &C
throwing down their picks, and bidding
their guard fond farewell. they made
break for the sagebrush and were free
American citizens one more. The
Sheriff says that if he can only catch
the men who sell the liquor to the In
dams he will also put them work i'm
proving the county highways.
KILLING Doves, We hear OF coz
slant complaints being made of the hab
INDUCED in by some parties of going
cunning towards evening, killing dove
and other small birds just now in tn
midst of their breeding season. The Law
Of this State is very strict in regard L
the killing Of birds during their season
of breeding, and here in our place
where birds are so scarce and should b
allowed to increase and multiply for
few years, the law should be strictly in
forced on those who kill them. 1t seem
strange that persons with any sense @
all, and who know that they are violat
ing the law should spend their time i
such destruction. Officers by visitin
the outskirts of town any evening ca
find the offenders.
