Leaving the classic town of Put Your
Eye Out behind us, we head for the
mines, and are surprised to find another
settlement staring us in che face. This
new town stands at the mouth Of the
canyon which leads up to the mining
camps, and has already earned for itself
the more than ancient and classic
name of A
KNOCK 'EM- STIFF,
In Difference to the powers OF the land
lord of the hotel, who is death on
tramps. 1t is thriving settlement,
and will want a Postmaster and Cor
oner pretty soon. What pleasant recol-
lections come over the mind when re-
fiecting upon the classics of Paradise
Valley. What is Hellgate to Gouge-
Eye, Bung-Eye, Knock 'Em-Stiff, and
Put Your Eye-Out? Read the Had,
study Homer, laugh with Horace, read
Sacitus, but as compared with the Idyls
of Paradise Valley they are as moon
light unto sunshine. as water unto
wine.
WE REACH BUNG-EYE.
1t is sui generis and much improved.
Houses of pine to the right; houses of
pine to the left. Lodging houses to the
right; dispensator.ies of liquid fire to
the right, left, north, south, east and
west-everywhere. The eye wearies
with the string of places where inside
alcoholic comforts can be secured But
it is lively burg, this Bung- Eye, alias
Spring City. The people are rather
agrarian. Somebody by, the name of
Warren secured town site, and pro-
posed to sell town lots, but the deacons
Of the town got together and fired War
rem out sans ceremone, and Warren finds
resting place in Gouge-Eye, where he
acts as Notary Public and Express
Agent, and meanwhile signs for some
Judge to decide the case, so that,
armed cap pie in the panoply of the
law, and surrounded with its majesty
in the shape Of an untutored Deputy
Sheriff, he can march up to Bung-Eye
and eject-not his tobaeco--but his OBJ
stinate jumpers.
THE MINES ARE DOING WELL.
Where erstwhile we saw Charley Hoff-
man in charge of the Paradise Valley
mine, we are greeted by Carney F.
Williams, late of the Leeds, Utah.
Carney fills the bill appropriately. and
only complains because he hasn't
enough for himself and his old horse to
do. BY recent edict from the San
Francisco Office, the force has been cut
down, and loud are the growls in the
camp. The San Francisco office is the
cause, and the Superintendent can only
wait until the Directors can make up
their minds as to what they want to do
about mill. That they need mill is
A sELF-EvIDENT PROPOSITION
Based upon an examination of the
mine and the dumps of ore. The fact
is that the mill should have been
ordered months ago, but there seems to
be too much erudite knowledge in the
San Francisco headquarters. It's pull
here, and haul there. Wait until
Smith goes up, and wait until Smith
comes down. And then we want to
experiment ON the hxiviation or leach
ing process. We want to measure the
water OF Martins creek, and the result
will be that sometime before the year
is out the Paradise Valley Company
may have mill to crush the ores ON
it's dumps and in it's mines, where the
silver and gold are yearning to be re-
duced from their rocky thraldom, and
mingled in the commerce of the world.
The Paradise mines
LOOK WELL AT ALL POINTS.
