The Committees on Public Schools
and on County Buildings also made their
reports. which are we'll worthy of the
careful consideration Of the County Com

A TRIP TO BULLIoNvEEE.-In com.
pany with Captain II. H. Day we paid
visit to Bullionville last Tuesday. Ex-
cept in and around the mills and repair
shops business matters were looking very
dull. on account of the heavy wind
storm prevailing there. The 20-stamp
mill, which has been running for some
time past. was shut down Monday for
the purpose of making repairs. which
| will require week or ten days to COM
plete. At the 30.stamp mill ten stamps
of the battery was pounding away crush
ing ore while. all tho pans and settlers
that were not occupied with ore pulp
were running on tailings. Since Mr..
Cahill has been in charge of the mills he
| has succeeded in work the tailings very
successfully, much better than any OF
his predecessors. Quite large lot OF
amalgam is in boxes or chests-the tail.

other sections was also at the 30.stamp
mill. McMahon and Tom Gillen are
still running No. saloons in the town,
although things are not very brisk, they
say they are doing fair business.
HEAT.-Tuesday last was hot day.
When the mercury aspires man per-
spires. This assertion may be the re-
suit OF heated imagination. for on that
day we found no relief in cooling drinks
nor juicy watermelon. Every ono was
in melting mood. Even those hardened
souls that were insensible to the music
Monday night melted on Tuesday and
painted for the cool springs and shady
groves of Panaca. Pity ye poor local,
who with pencil and paper VANDERBILT
around IN the fervid glare of the noon
day sun in search OF We item that cometh
not. We verify believe it's the associa-
ton of circumstances that make things
pleasant or the reverse; how nice, for
instance, to see the number sc on a coin
check, payable to your order, and yet
how aggravating to see those brazen lit.
tie figures on the mercury tube as they
indicate 96 in the shade. Wasn't it hot
though!
