the belief that affairs were very lively
The 30.stamp Raymond & Ely mill was
running twenty stamps on ore from the
10th level of the Raymond & Ely mine.
and doing good work on it. A large
quantity of ore was on hand at the mill,
and runs pretty well up in gold as we'll
as silver. One-half the pans and settlers
are running on this ore, the other pans
and settlers being used on tailings. A
new tramway has been constructed from
the mill to one of the old failing pits, and
this lot of tailings work we'll. The 20.
stamp mill is in thorough order and
ready to start at a moments notice. The
nights are now very cold in Bullionville.
ice forming very thick around the water
tanks at the mills and in the streams.
Lumber was arriving from the saw-mills
at Pine Valley. destined for Tenn Pahute.
The public school of this settlement ia
now under the charge of Eugene wyman.
CABINS RoBBED.-In the last two weeks
several cabins belonging to miners have
been robbed during the day time whilst
they were at work. The miners would
return home about dusk and find their
cabins had been robbed, not even having
change of clothing or boots left. The
latest instance of this kind occurred on
Saturday last, when the house in which
Dan Shankland resides was plundered Of
everything, and from evidences he was
led to believe that boys had done the
work, as in former instances. During
Sunday portion of the things were re-
covered from Indians, who stated that
they had received them from little boy.
So this boy was found and tho things
were all finally recovered, with the ex-
ception of small silver brick. This
thieving business done by boys is getting
to be a terrible nuisance, and some OF
them should be locked up for few days
to reform them. If their parents will
not take them in hand the proper au-
thorities should.
FIRE DEpARTMENr.-The "Fire Boys"
and the Board of Delegates are having
rather amusing time among themselves
at the present. AS there will soon be
money in the fire fund, amounting to
about $3.50, each company is DESTROYS OF
having large share of it; 90, for that
reason, at meeting of the Delegates not
long since Protection Hose put in bill
to be allowed, amounting to over $500,
for the purchase of new hose. The bill
was allowed by the Delegates. Wednes-
day night Phoebe Hose put in their
claim for what they wanted, which was
a new hose carriage, nickle-plated lamps.
etc., which amounted to over 81 300.
This bill was also passed on. Now, the
question is, how to make the $3.50 in the
fire fund pay those items amounting to
81, 600.
SEEN Pixies PEAK.-Every one knows
Todd, familiarly called "Pike," because
he halls from Missouri. Pike is the pro-
prietor Of q colt, and Is under the i'm.
preston that it cannot be beaten in the
way of horse-fesh, and of course is un-
usually proud of the animal. During
the week he thought he would take a
ride on the aforesaid colt, 80 taking q
couple of his blacksmith leather aprons,
making leggings out of them, he mounted
his steed. The colt did not fancy those
leggings, 30 it hoisted Pike ont of the
saddle, and left him alone in his glory.
Pike. in describing the affair, stated that
the colt threw him SO high in the air that
he was able to see Pixies Peak before be
came down.
CHRISTMAS TREE.-Some of the mem.
bers OF the Episcopal Church having in
their mind the making OF the Sunday
school children q pleasant time Christ:
mas Eve, have ordered about hundred
dollars worth of toys, presents, etc., fol
the Christmas tree, and the query now
troubling them is, how to pay for tn.
same when they arrive. Some sugges
the idea of going around collecting from
the public for that purpose, willis
others thinks the most feasible way is t
give concert or performance. We thinl
the latter the best plan of the two, as tn,
public would readily buy tickets for
concert.
In our item in regard to the horse.tbie
who returned to the Muddy. we men
toned about lady feeding him. Ate
the item was published, the gentlema
who told US the circumstances, came an
informed US that when the thief entere
a her house, he had his handouts hid u
under his coat-sleeves, and telling th
, lady very PLAUSIBLE story about hi
being released by the officers, she too
him in her house and gave him his sur
! per. We had no intention of doing th
( lady an injustice, but merely publishe
the item as it was told to US.
