BRISTOL ITEMS

Last Monday Miles Thompson, an EN-.
ploye of the Bristol S. NJ. Co. and for
merly of the Hillside Company, com.
mitted suicide by shooting himself, about
2 o'clock in the afternoon. Just before
committing the deed deceased expressed
a desire to purchase pistol, whereupon
one OF the crowd who was standing near
said he had a pistol to sell, and turning
to get it Thompson followed him as far
as the shoemaker's shop. waiting in the
door until he returned with the revolver.
Thompson taking the pistol, said he
would try it, and with those words placed
the weapon to his head and fired, the
ball entering between his eyes, and sup
posed to range downward. Deceased
came from the Cave mine few days pre-.
vious, received his pay and enclosed it in
letter to his father, E. R. Thompson,
Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Miles Thomp.
son was about 26 years of age and was
supposed to have been out Of his mind
when he did the rash deed as he was
noticed to have acted in rather a strange
manner for some time previous.
Owing to the breaking of pump the
Bristol s. NJ. Co.'s mill had to hang
stamps for a few days but is again crush
ing and working through ID tons of ore
per day. All parties who have seen the
mill in operation pronounce it the best
and most complete construction of the
kind they have seen. Should it be re-
quired, the capacity for crushing can be
increased to more than double its pres
ent at a nominal expense.
The Iron mine is steadily improving
and shipping about ten tons Of ore per
day; and when the connection is made
with the lower drift to cut the ledge the
shipments will be increased. Drift is
now in eighty-two feet and upper drift
has been run in on ore nearly 100 feet.
The refinery had to close down tenn.
porarily owing to the want of pearl-ash,
but has since resumed operations refining
bullion. Work is being pushed ahead
with all possible speed upon the new Gu
pelle furnace and it will not be many
days before its completion.
The Hillside and Mendha mines are
looking well, particularly the latter,
where the crosscut going east under the
old works encountered twelye-foot body
Of ore in the face, which is steadily i'm.
proving.
The Hillside furnace is still turning
out bullion in large quantities; great
number of tons on the dump awaiting
shipment, but owing to the scarcity o.
teams is ACCOMPLISHING very fast.
Ernest Croker and Eugene Howell
are going to Osceola to have a look at .
salt mine. They will be gone week OF
ten days.
The Cave mine is now showing q gooc
body of ore on the first level.

A NUMBER of little boys in Phoebe are
in the habit of entering vacant houses
and doing good deal Of mischief. The
other day some of these youngsters en-.
tered house occupied by an old bache.
Tor, and as the people who had formerly
occupied the premises had but recently
moved away, they thought the place was
vacant, so just pitched in and had lots of
fun. When the occupant of the house
returned to his quarters he was surprised
to find that roll of butter had been
sliced up and carefully scattered around
on the floor, then sprinkled down with a
pot of cold tea, and everything in the
house all lying around in great confus-
ion. 1t served him right. He is old
enough, big enough and ugly enough to
keep wife about his premises to take
care of things.
SPORT. Yesterday was gala day at
Panaca. In the morning BASEBALL game
was played by two mines chosen from the
crowd present; losing side paying for the
ball that was given by the young people
at the Social Hall in the evening. In the
afternoon Andy Nyswonger's "Deseret
Colt" ran against time, but we didn't learn
what time was made. There was also a
number of scrub races run, and, as usual,
the Gentiles won ~ lots of coin. 1t takes
che Gentiles to pick out the fine "pints'
Of the racers.
For pAssEMBLYMAN. Milton Barrett,
Of Bullionville, announces himself as a
candidate for Assemblyman, subject to
1.-the decision of the Democratic County
Convention. Mr.. Barrett has been resi-.
dent of Lincoln county for ten years, and
is at present the Postmaster at Bullion
vile. Should Mr.. Barrett receive the
nomination from his party, and be elected,
we feel confident that when he returns tc
Phoebe from Carson, that he will extend
as clean hand to his friends to shake as
when he left.
| WASN'T HUNGRY.-The other day 8
wood-copper came in town, bought one
dozen and half of eggs, took them tt
Gibfried l. Brisacher's restaurant, handed
the waiter the eggs and ordered them al
boiled. After the eggs were boiled ant
set before him, he astonished the waiter
by eating them all, and then remarked
he hadn't felt very hungry, or he woult
have eaten "two dozen" It would neve
