The ADVANTAGES OF BEING A Boy
At the closing of the Grammar School a
week ago Adolph Jacobs, aged ID years,
composed and read the following compost
ton on The Advantages of Being a Boy:'
"a boy is generally born when he is very
young and gets to be q man before his
mother A boy has great many hard
trials. Everything his sisters, his cous-
ms. or his aunts do, is blamed on him;
but il is his nature to be mischievous. A
boy is not so skittish as girl. He takes
q mouse, which would scare his sister
half to death, and ties string to its tail
and swings it over his head. Then he
is in his glory and laughs at his sister,
who is looking for q knot-hole to hide in.
He wears no lace-bibs Or corsets, petit
coats or skirts. The girls are generally
favored by their teachers, while the poor
boy has to take a great many hard words
and whippings and store them away in his
large and open heart. A boy possesses
about ten times more cheek than a girl,
but if ever he does any mischief he owns
up to it with bright and smiling face.
Girls are a great deal of trouble to their
parents, who have to keep them until
somebody falls in love with and marries
of horses, works in the mines, and does
not depend on his parents like the girls or
wait for somebody to marry. him. All
that girls do for exercise is to make dolls
chinese and crotchet work; while the
boy, the spark of mankind, is putting up
some job to play on his teacher or play
ing the glorious game of baseball. A
boy has not half the mind to study that
d girl has, but girl cannot put her learn
ing to SO good an advantage as a boy can.
A boy is not so chicken-hearted as girl
A boy makes man, and whatever good
qualities the boy possesses will be found
in the man, and the man is all. The
man makes the world go, and has the
say in making the laws of our country,
while women have not. Women are en-
tirely at the command of men. Besides,
boys have an advantage over girls in this:
they always find a way to get through
the world where girls cannot. Hurrah!
then, for the boys. They are the stand
ard bearers Of the world"
FIRST BULLION. - The first bullion
shipped by Henry Raymond, from the
new mill in Pahranagat Valley, arrived
here Saturday, and was valued at ST.
Sl4.9O. The parties who brought it re-
port that there were several bars out
when they left the mill, but they only
brought couple of bars as a sort of
flyer" The mill will hereafter run on
higher grade ore. Everything about the
mill and mine is encouraging and every
person connected with the company have
great expectations. A number of speci-
mems of rich ore from the Green Monster
were brought to town.
WEALTH. The idea has gone abroad
that Piochers have no money, are all
broken, ETC. This is all wrong Piochers
have more money buried than persons
have any idea. 1t was only the other
evening that Piocher left town, taking
with him 500, 900 in gold coin, and there
is lots more coin where that came from.
There is quite number of our residents
who have vast sums buried We, our.
self, have shaft $50 feet in depth filled
with S20-pieces. and covered with rocks
and dirt, but we won't disclose the place.
A RUMoR comes from Utah that Jack
Gilmer talks of putting on stage line
from Phoebe to the terminus of the Utah
Southern. We suppose, eff" the Ray.
mond & Ely starts up, if the Meadow Val.
ley will toot its horn and put in its pump,
If the world doesn't 60 to smithereens on
on the 22d of June next, and if and if
and if, then Gilmer & Salisbury may put
on a line from Phoebe to the terminus,
but not until then.
RAYMOND & ELY. There was consider.
able talk in regard to the Raymond & Ely
property changing hands during the week.
This property has not yet changed hands,
but Will probably do SO before the ex.
piration of April There are now three
parties down in San Francisco who are
endeavoring to purchase the property.
and of course the side that makes the
best offer will secure the prize.
BULL1oNvILLE FURNACE. This furnace.
is now going under full Roadway and
about thirty tons of ore is run through
daily, half of which is silver and lead
ores, the balance fux. From seven to
eight tons of bullion is taken out daily
and three carloads have been shipped to
Salt Lake since the furnace started The
company is at present employing from
thirty-fve to forty men.
RA1LRoAD.-Mr. Sharp, one of the
managers of the Utah Southern, while in
Silver Reef the other day, so states let
ter, remarked that the company intended
to extend the railroad to Iron City during
the Summer, and that it was also their
intention to build branch line from
some point along the road to Bullionville.
INsANE.-Frank Might, a.blacksmith

Raymond & Ely Company in 70 and IA,
