LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

the kindness of VIM Bell, we were al
sorded an opportunity of visiting Bullion
vile, and while there we visited the FUR
mace, which at the present time is turn
ing out as much, or even more, bullion,
than any other furnace of the same ca
pacity in Nevada or Utah. We found
the furnace running and twenty-three
car loads of bullion piled up near it, the
ASSAY value of the same being $500 per
ton. The furnace, as has been supposed,
ia not water jacket, but consists of iron
plates, II inch in thickness, and is of &C.
tagon shape. A pipe is run around the
upper portion of the plates, from which
water exudes against them, for the pur-
pose Of keeping them COOL The furnace
turns out 200 bars, of an average weight
of 100 pounds each, in every twenty -four
hours. This kind OF furnace is said to be
much cheaper than the water jacket and
with proper care will last for two years.
There is no rushing nor hurrying about
these works. Every man knows his
place and what he has to do, all of which go
to prove that Foreman Short, and the men
under his employ, are experienced and
competent furnace hands. In the mill
and concentrating portion of the these
works they are making preparations to
erect eight additional tables, four of
which will be put up Immediately. The
ten tables now in operation produce from
ten to sixteen tons of concentrations per
day, according to character of tailings,
which assay from SO to So per cent. in
lead. The outlay made by the Bullion
vile Smelling Company in the construc-
ton of these works was enormous, more
than person has any idea Of, but they
are now reaping the rich reward which
their energy and enterprise SO deservedly
merits. The company experiences con-
siderable trouble in obtaining transporta.
ton for their bullion to the terminus of
the Utah Southern at Milford, they being
dependent upon teamsters hauling freight
to Bullionville and hucksters for this
transportation, which is inadequate. We
were informed the other day by Mr. Godbe
that there was not any trouble existing
between the Utah Southern Railroad and
Bullionville Smelling Company, as both
companies had always been on the best
of terms. The report to the contrary was
incorrect.
PANAcA.--This village, where the saint
ly dwell all decked in green, with its
stream of clear water for irrigating pur-
poses, now presents most lovely specta-
Gle to the eye of the Piocher who has the
good fortune to visit that place. The
flowers are now in bloom and the sweet
scented rose, geranium and various kinds
of pretty pinks make person forget that
he is out in q desert waste, and he i'm
AGNES that he is walking in that beauti-
ful garden where our greatest grand-par-
ents, Adam and Eve, once did dwell
And the mint, that delicious mint, whose
fragrance brings to us fond recollections of
days gone for ever, when, in our boyhood,
after the old gentleman had finished
with is julip, we used to flop our lips over
the end of the straw sticking out of the
glass and suck the sugar through the
it, is growing wild along and over
the water-ditches. The fruit trees are
loaded down with green fruit, and at
Mrs. Wedges we observed the boughs of
the dwarf plum trees so heavily laden
with fruit that they were laying on the
ground, 1t is really astonishing how
heavily laden the fruit trees are this
season, especially the plum trees, the
fruit being so thick on them that it is
covering the leaves. Mrs. Wedge has
just completed renovating her premises
and all visiting Panaca this summer will
find her house a very pleasant place to
stop.
WYASDoTTE CoAPANY.--The property
OF this company, which was Pennsyl-
wanna incorporation, has fallen into the
hands of Mr.. Carteza, Of Philadelphia,
and now belongs to that gentleman. This
company IS reported as having had nun.
Der Of good mines in TEN Pahute District
some OF which contain very good ore.
The company was badly managed from
the first They sent PENNSYLVANIA
coal miner out here in the first place to
superintend the working of the company,
who knew so much about silver MINING
himself that he would not hire foreman
nor take the advice of an experienced
silver miner, and the consequence was
that the company got heavily involved
and suspended. Mr.. Carteza has paid up
the entire indebtedness of the company.
The prospectors in TEN Pahute District
. are now willing to sell their springs at
reasonable terms if they can get mill in
. there.
In BONDAGE. --Several of the youns
ladies of Panaca, who have lately beer
associating with the wicked residents O
Bullionville altogether stoo much, hay,
been sent out into the interior of Utah
where they will be turned loose in tn,
fields and made work.
