BRISTOL ITEMS.

Hank Donnelly. late Superintendent
of the Eureka Con-, in company with
Senator A. J. Blair, arrived here last
Saturday from San Francisco for the pur-
pose of inspecting the properties Of the
Hillside Mill and Mining Company at
Bristol and Highland.
Mr.. Donnelly, in company with Man.
aser j. Is. McGee, made q thorough in
spection of both the Hillside and Mendha
mines and is very fsvorably impressed
with the general appearance, the large
quantities of ore in sight, and somewhat
surprised at the immense amount that
has been taken out. He thinks the out
look is very encouraging and is confident
that it will not be long before the Hill
side will he placed on dividend paying
basis.
The Bristol Silver Mining Company
have made their location just above town,
comprising 600 acres, adjoining the east
ern limits Of the present township. They
will before long have their boring ap-
paratus in position and begin sinking for
| lowing water. This done then opera
tions will commence in the erection of
their mill and furnace.
1t is not OF all probable but that in the
the course of the next few months the
Hillside Company will erect works for
the reduction of copper ores. At the
present price that that metal commands
and the quantities OF it that there is here
the working Of it would yield handsome
profit to the company.
The foundation of the old furnace has
proven to be bonanza to The Hillside
Company; over $4,000 in bullion has
already been taken out, melted into bars,
and there is still in sight about $1,000.
1t is thought that some 1924, 900 in all
will be taken out.
The refinery OF the Hillside Company
started up on bullion last Monday taken
from the old foundation, but owing te
the breaking of two of the oupelles wal
obliged to shut down Wednesday, but re-
flung was again resumed Friday.
Mes rs. Donnelly and Blair left her'
Thursday for San Francisco. The latte
will soon return, accompanied by biz
family. making Bristol his permanen
place of residence.

RED PEpPER.-A very little red-pepper,
mixed with food, imparts pleasant and
pungent favor to it, but outside of that
it is not very agreeable, especially if you
happen to get more of it than you exact
ly want. 1t is very good with which to
play u practical joke, especially if you
are the joker instead of the joksd. On
Sunday an individual repaired to his
dinner, having a cigar partly smoked,
whish he intended finishing smoking
after he had masticated his hash, so on
going into the restaurant he laid the
cigar in a convenient place and forth
with started in to try and burst up the
proprietor by slowing away twice as
much as an usual allowance of grub. and
finishing up he was prepared to enjoy
his "regalia" in style. He lighted it,
took one or two puffs, and discovered
that, as he thought, the cigar was burn
ing at the wrong end; any how his
mouth was aglow with aeat. which he
tried to quench with water. but that only
made it worse, and after sputtering and
suffering for half an hour, be came to
the conclusion that he was suffering
from the effects of dose of red. pepper,
which had been dropped on the end OF
his cigar. On making this discovery he
was at first inclined to return to the res.
taurnant and wipe the floor with the
walters and the propretors, but. rsmem.
bsring that it was Sunday, and thinking
he might spoil his best clothes in the
operation, concluded to put off his plans
of vengeance in that shape and get ever
some other way.
| A BoNANzA.-The Hillside Company
have discovered quito bonanza under
the old furnace. Parties coming in from
there on Tuesday report about $40, 00(
worth of bullion as having been takeI
out. and judging by appearances that {
like amount yet remains to be extracted
1t is firmly Embedded in the earth ant
has to be blasted out.
The PLACE.-We are informed b,
Messrs. Crocker and Lewis that the,
have selected spot about mile abov
Bristol on which they calculate to erec
their reduction works. About six ton
of their machinery has already arrived.
The "Bugle" says the Colorado rive
rose six inches in one day at Junction
vile.

Several fossil specimens collected in
South America by NJ Premier, who was
for some time Director OF the silver mines
ut Caraooles. have been examined in Paris
by NJ. Jannettaz. who has discovered
among them an extraordinary example
OF all ammonite transformed into native
silver. 1t was found with number Of
ether ana onitts belonging to the two
species A. peramatus and A. plicatiHs,
but these had not been min-rallzed
with silver salts. The ammonits in
gu stion has, on the other hand, been
entirely replaced by chloride of silver,
which has been partially reduced to the
metallic condition. Light is thrown
by this specimen upon the origin of ma
tive silver which occurs IN the Caraoolei
mines; for it is only fair to infer tina
this metal has. in like manner, been re
duced from the state of chloride at a pc
rod not earlier than the deposition o
Oxford clay.

SORE THRoATs, HEADACHE, COLD FEET.
ETC If those who are subject to sore
threats. and the like, we're to bathe the
neck with cold water in the morning.
and use the fesh.brush at night, they
would find q benefit which would
compensate them for their time and
trouble. There are many who suffer
from headache and cold feet. If they
would plunge their feet in cold water
every morning, and use the flesh brush
every night, it would relieve them both.

The story on which the argument of "Al
gernon the Footstool Bearer" is based, has
been told in the Press. As readers may
have forgotten it, we tell the story again.
The tale runs thus:
Swinburne is warm admirer of Browning;
Browning qualified admirer of Swinburne.
The elder poet once met the younger at rail-
way station and shook his umbrella at him, ex-
claiming. "Ah, you foolish boy, why will you
so degrade such splendid talents?" This is but
modified version of Browning's words which
were rather too strong for print. One day SWIM
burne called on Browning, who received him
courteously and bade him be seated-much
marvelling the while why he carried small
footstool The mystery was soon cleared up,
for Swinburne laid the footstool at Browning's S
ct, and sat himself thereupon. He could not
alrogate equality with a master of the divine
art, his sole ambition was to sit at his feet.
Browning was profoundly bored and in mortal
fear that somebody might call and become a
spectator of the interview. He knew his visi-
tor we'll enough to understand that the latter
volumes for Brownings urbanity that he con-
versed patiently and compoSedly with the
erratic one for the space of an hour, then-for
humanity is frail, and some men will not take
hint his nerves gave way. And
now" said the host, 'you must forgive me, Tor
have an appointment, and must GO. SWIM
burne took up his stool and preceded Brown
ing down stairs. In the hall he observed that
he had special favor to ask. Browning as
sured him he would do anything in his power
to be of service to him. Swinburne replied,
SIT is that you would allow me to sit at your
feet for yet another five minutes" The tone
was one of imperturbable gravity. Browning
assented, and the pair walked up stairs again.
Swinburne replaced his footstoOl, and sat out
the full five minutes.

Humors of the Paris Restaurant.


There is a good story told of famous restau-
rateur warmly recommending to customer.
whom, although rich. he knew to be no con
noisseur in wine, certain Bordeaux, which
he alleged to be of some splendid old vintage:
ST can vouch for what say" urged the res
taurateur, "for know it was put in bottle the
day my grandfather was baptized" The inno-
cent victim consented, and the wine was
brought ina bottle SO covered with cobwebs
and dirt that it looked more like a large rat
than anything else. The ''cradle" was handled
most carefully by the sommelier, and the cork
was drawn with much ceremony. Imagine the
horror OF the poor reStdurdteur and the hilari-
ty of the customer iwhen fly came buzzing
out, rejoicing at having regained his libertyl
Another fact worth remembering is that NO
matter what you may ask for, even IL it be
fried piece of the moon, the walters will inva-
riably reply, Eyes" and either bring 1T you.
or, on returning, assert with sorrow that un-
fortunately there is no more left. Merry, the
well known author, tried this joke on once,
and peremptorily ordered of waiter sphinx
a la Marengo. II am sorry to say We have no
more, Monsieur" replied the garcon. What!
No more sphinx" exclaimed Merry feigning as
tonishment. The waiter lowered his voice and
murmured in confidential whisper: We
have some more, monsieur; but the truth is j
should not care to serve them to you, as they
are not quite fresh!
