LOSA6 IN
METEOR. meteoric display which
was witnessed here at about quarter to
ssven Friday evening (the 5th) appears
to have been seen throughout the State,
but appeared different at each place.
As we were walking out Lacour street We
were surprised by a large ball OF fire.
which appeared TO be thirteen inches in
diameter, suddenly burst forth through
the clouds in the northwest, in the vicin-
ity of Bristol, which dropped about 200
wards, where bright fash occurred. as
though an explosion took place. and the
ball of tire darted to the southwest about
two hundred feet. where another fash
took place, " hen the bali Of fire darted
back, leaving a space OF about three feet
between the top and bottom lines. when
ths third fash occurred. then the ball
proceeded to fall. first in q zgzag, then
in a straight line, to the earth. growing
smaller SO it went down. Where the
flashes occurred, and the meteor changed
its course. the corners were very sharp.
as though made by lightning. The
meteor left brilliant silvery trail, which
was visible for about an hour after the
phenomenon occurred. When we first
saw the ball of fire we thought that the
Lord had become angered at the wicked.
ness OF Bristol and had sent the ball of
fire to destroy that town and its people.
Tue Bristolians had better take warning
and behave th smselves.
CURVED BALLs.-Messrs. Crawford and
Daniels. pitcher and catcher of the Ath.
letc Club of San Francisco. remained in
town several days. and during that time
they were kind enough to instruct q num-
Der of the Chloride Club in the art and
mystery of pitching an lin curve" and
al "out curve" The boys have succeed
ed in learning this style of pitching and
are now able to curve Il ball in any style
they like. They can curve ball in and
hit the man at the bat on the head every
time. This is the kind OF curve the
Chloriders intend putting on the ball il
thew ever get the Panaca Club at the bat.
The boys have become very proficient in
the art of pitching and are now able to
curve a bali 80 that as soon as 1t passes
the bat it will turn and coiae back to the
hands OF the pitcher, doing away with
the catcher altogether. Base ball play
Jug has got to be science. Mat Rogers
is the champion curve pitcher in Phoebe.
Hs can curve bali through five.dollar
pane OF glass.
We saw the meanest man who lives in
Panaca the other day. He is a big tall
man and moves along with staggering
gait. He was on his way to Panaca. with
an empty wagon, the other day, when
resident of Bullionvills asked him for
permission to ride with him to that town
from Ploche. Got any money asked
the meapest man in this county. The
man replied that he was broke; that the
Mormons bad won all his money on the
horse races, and the mean man refused to
let him ride. This individual is known
as the biggest "little" msn in Panaca,
and the Mormons say that be is the
meanest man in either Utah or Nevada.
R1oH ORE.-Sunday We saw some very
fine specimens OF ore taken from the ore
body recently struck in the Msyfowsr
In Bristol District. This ore is chlor.
ida and is OF very light yellow color.
sud assayed from $500 TO $500. Persons
who have seen the recent Developments
made in the May flower, and who have
been in and inspected the principal
mines of the district. pronounced the
Mayfower the best and most valuable
mine 10 the Bristol District. A wagon
load of supplies we're shipped from here
to the mine Monday.
The New FIND.-Joe Griffin AND
Walker returned from their prospecting
trip near Woods and McCullough's place
about which there was some exotic
ment here week or two since. They
found nothing in the mines to justify
their staying there. They brought bacl
several specimens of ore with them
which they had assayed, and they die
not even contain trace Of silver.
LEAcHING.-The teaching business
has proven to be success. Jas. Rya,
& Co., who are working the Meadow
Valley dumps. shipped three bars o
bullion last Saturday valued at owe
$1,000. These gentlemen employ quite
large force of men at this business, som
