The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1877-05-19

14th inst, We had the piasufe OF at
tending the birthday party given by
master frankie Lee at the residence OF
his parents on Meadow Valley street.
Muster Frank had about forty Of his
little acquaintan ces gathered at the house
to participate with him in the festivities
gotten up for the occasion. When we
arrived the children were all enjoying
themselves in playing games and were
getting we'll acquainted with each other,
40 that the frst novalty Of the occasion
was wearing away enabling them to be
yery sociable. Leaving them to their
endowment we paid visit to the room in
which the table was arrayed for their
collation., finding it tastefully arranged
with flowers. both wild and cultivated,
and loaded down with fruits and sweet
meats. evidently the work of bis mother
and Mrs. Bishop. We left before the
children sailed in on their feast but we
could imagine the scene when the loaded
tables were brought to the view of the
Youngsters. About O. clock in the even
Ing we we're agreeably surprised by master
frankie walking into our Office, accom-
panied by his good papa and monstrous
bic cake all covered with sugar (the cake
was covered with sugar, not papa, which
be presented to US. along with very
beautiful nosegay, the handsomest we
have seen in Phoebe this season. Parties
given TO children are source of happi-
ness to them and the remembrance of
them in future years always makes the
thought of home very bright indeed.
We wish our little friend many happy re-
turns of his birthday and good health to
enjoy them as he did the one just past.
PARTY AT SAN JOSE HoUsE.-Under the
superintepdence of John Shier, social
party took place at the San Jose House
on tuesday evening last, By half-past
eight o'clock the house was crowded
with about sixty persons, representing
majority OF our citizens who indulge in
dancing and like innocent amusement.
The dancing commenced at about nine
o'clock, and by halt-past nine the room
was full; in fact, the only drawback to
the pleasure OF those present was the
very large number who could not find
room in the numerous dancing sets. To
attempt to describe the ladies costumes
in detail would be an impossible task;
suffice il to say that as usual the dresses
were splendid and set off by the charms
of the fair wearers. We doubt if any met
ropolitan party could out do the many
costumes usually worn by the ladies' OF
Phoebe on such occasions. Dancing was
KEEP up until about half.past two O'Clock
Wednesday morning, when the guests
retired will pleased with their evenings
entertainment.
RAYMOND & ELY. -Considerab good ore
is being extracted from the upper levels
and developments on the 1200-foot level
are looking better as work progresses.
The strata lying along the hanging
wall shows ledge of four feet in thick
ness, bat where the ledge is run through
by cross cuts the ledge matter is much
wider. Much Of this vein is of the finest
character of quarts containing gold. The
ore that is richest in silver is richest in
gold. One assay showed as high as 1877
in gold, while others went $50, S12 and
$40 in gold. Captain Day, the Superin-
tendent, thinks this splendid prospect,
and has no doubt of it improving rapid
ly, as it has done heretofore as the work
progressed. The last assay made yester.
day went $2G7. 03 in silver aud $72.73 in
gold.
BULLIoNvILLE FURNACE. The Bullion
vile furnace has been leased by Osborne
& Co. for the purpose of working thu
concentrations at the Dry Valley Mill
Mccormick, banker at Salt Lake City

man from that place to do the smelling
one that understands the business thor
oughly, so then the furnace will soon b.
to work and will be of immence benei
both to Bullionville and this place. Tn
process OF shipping the concentration
TO Utah was entirely too slow to make
apaying business.
