BRISTOL ITEMS,

Deen maze by Jno. Is. MCGEE with the
New York stockholders of the Hillside
NJ. & NJ. Company whereby the indebted
ness of that company will be hquidated
and the corporation placed upon sound
financial footing. This will be glad news
to us all. The Hillside is now looking
well and Manager Howell is pushing de-
velopments ahead with vigor. On the
9th level east, nearly 500 feet from the
incline, they are drifting through large
ledge OF spar and iron, carrying from two
to three feet of good ore on the foot wall.
Still stopping on the Sd and 4th levels
west, and taking out some fine looking
ore. The furnace, upon the arrival of the
new front, started up last Wednesday,
with an abundance of coal and ore.
Everythingis running smoothly and from
appearances the output for the next few
months will be large.
On the 18th the Democrats held their
primaries and elected as delegates to the
County Convention John Sheridan, Will
ford Cubbage, r. H. Riepe and John A.

paratus and put it down to the depth of

bars of fine bullion. One bar was valued
at $2, 1896, the other $l,6l4.S9. This
is the first shipment of the new company.
The Tempest, on the southwest line of
the Hillside, is showing up large body
of yellow carbonate, with assays running
as high as 1915 and 1852 per ton.
BY PRoxY.-Voting by proxy is not as
a general rule allowable, but on Tuesday,
during the Republican primary, vote
was cast in that style. During the middle
of the day the polls were closed, and at
that time one staunch Republican came
to cast his vote. Finding no polls open
he marked his name on the back of a
ticket and handed it to Democrat, and
requested him, when the polls opened, to
put it in for him. When the polls
opened the Dem. handed the ticket in,
and the Judges and Clerk taking the
| joke, and there being no opposition ticket
in the field, received the vote.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION Board
of Equalization Of Lincoln county held
their first meeting last Monday They
made hasty survey of the assessment
roll of the county for the year 1880,
and served several notices on taxpayers
to call on them during their meetings and
show cause why the amount of their taxes
should not be raised Meeting was con-
tinued throughout the week, and will be
continued until the roll for 1880 is fully
equalized Taking the town and county
assessment, it is fully up to the year
1879.
REGISTRATION. We learn that in
Justice Hoffman's Court only 1873 names
have been registered up to Friday morn
ing This is mighty slow work, and as
there are about 300 voters in Phoebe, it
behooves them to register forthwith or
else they will be left out in the cold, only
short time having to elapse before reg
istration lcloses Other voting precints
are just as slow in regard to the matter
and those interested in election matters
had better see that the Intelligent
voter" will have his say.
BULLIoNvILLE MINE.--Work is still
continued vigorously on this mine. The
sinking of the main shaft being the
principal work, which has been sunk to a
depth of so feet, with stringers of ore
coming in as work progresses. The work
Of sinking is getting easier, owing to the
character Of ore changing, and the owners
of this mine ore confident that they have
Bonanza in the near future.
FOR SHERIFF.-O. I. sherwood, one OF
the oldest settlers of the county, and who
was in Phoebe before house was built,
announces himself as candidate fol-
Sheriff Mr.. Sherwood is too well known
throughout this country to need an intro.
} duction from us, aud his opponent, who
ever he may be, will find him q hard
! horse to curry.
