BRISTOL DOTS.

The two Bristol bananas, the Tempest,
the property of Messrs. Gilmer, Salisbury
& Co., and the MayAower of the Bristol
Silver Mining Company, are pronounced
by experts to be two of the biggest mines
IN the State to-day. Both have huge
bodies Of high grade ore in sight, of un-
known extent, and miners who have
worked in the Raymond & Ely say that
the Mayhower and Tempest are away
ahead of that mine at its best days. By
next Spring, when the Tempest and Iron
mine reduction works are erected, and
the Bristol mill in trim, Bristol will show
an output, with the Day Silver Mining
Company, of over $500. 900 per month; a
showing that will place Bristol to the
front as one Of the leading mining camps
of the Coast.
The Bristol mill is still pounding away
on $500 rock, shipping this week by
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express five bars
of bullion, 9S4 fine. valued at Sll,2lO;
making grand total of over S26, 900 for
the eighteen days that the mill has been
running. This is certainly splendid
showing, but as the ore is very moist and
the facilities for drying are somewhat
limited, the battery is consequently not
worked UP to its full capacity, but ar
rangements are now being made for doing
away with these drawbacks, and an ad-
ditional ten stamps added, which will
then enable the company to turn out
S75, 900 month, or more.
The Bristol furnace, of the Day Com
pany, after long and successful run was
closed down last Friday. The ore that
is coming down is of high grade and
easily worked and, by the time the fur.
mace starts up again, which will be in
about two weeks, there will be several
hundred tons of this character of rock on
the dump, which, with the heavy lead
ore that is being shipped from the
Mendha, this next run will surely be as
profitable one for the company as the
last.
The many Wood. Riverites who left
here last Spring are slowly vending their
way homcward. They say the severity
of the Winter in that far away country
is little too much for them; but that
kind Of talk don't wash, for we knew
they couldn't stay away from their old
stamping ground too long; and now they
come, slowly and surely are they drop
ping in one by one; soon all the wanderers
will have returned and the many fam.
iliar faces will once more be seen in their
old accustomed places.
The Hon. A. ]. Blair arrived home
last Tuesday after an extended trip in
the extreme southeastern portion of the
county where he has been the past two
weeks inspecting certain mining prop
critics in that section. He reports every.
thing as being lively, particularly so at
Golden Basin, Arizona, concerning which
there is considerable excitement, and in
his opinion there will be general stam-
pede for there this Winter.
A. Prairie is showing the spirit of a
true Bristolian by putting up what will
be the finest saloon in the town; when
completed, will be very neat and tasty
building, large and commodious, and
with two elegantly fitted up club rooms
for the bloods. Good for A. Prairie.
The rifle team was out practicing last
week. Seventy-fve rounds were fired
and only three turkeys killed; but the
three afterwards got up and walked off
in disgust and are probably walking yet.
The "tiger" has opened in Quinn's
and is running in full blast. The beast
has been showing his claws and making
the fur fly very lively. At least the boys
think so.
Bristol will have baseball club next
Spring and the nucleus for frst-class
nine is already here.
The streets are crowded with teams
and hay and grain is coming in by the
| ton.
The Bristol brewery will be opened
soon by H. H. Fisher of Beaver.
The Rodene mine has been surveyed
and a patent applied for.
A great many strangers are in town
and the saloons are jammed.
