Local INTELLIGENCE.

Meadow Valley, about three miles below
Bullionville, there lives charming and
bewitching grasswidow, the brightness
of whose eyes is only surpassed by the
twinkling stars, and whose superb form
was only equalsd by that possessed by
Helen, of Greece. There is young man
in Phoebe who sails under the cognomen
of "soap." because he is kind of soft.
Having met the young widow he became
Greatly enamored with her lovely form,
and the other day, with his pockets full
of candy, he started for Meadow Valley,
with the intention of making known to
the charming creature the pent up love
that was swelling within his manly(?)
bosom. Unfortunately the young grass
widow had couple of admirers--a saloon
keeper and a milk land water) peddler-
who resided at Bullionville, and who
were both seeking her lily white hand
with matrimonial intentions. Soap no
sooner arrived in Bullionville when the
saloon-keeper and milkman pooled their
issues, went out and met the young man
from Phoebe, grasped him warmly by the
hand, and took him into the saloon, and
commenced feeding him on evil spirits.
Soap, as soon as he commenced to feel
happy, began calling out, everybody
take drink" and although the saloon
keeper knew he had no coin, he was per-
mitted to have anything he desired, so
it tended to ruin him in the eyes of the
fair grasswidow. When Soap got in such
condition that he was unable to stand,
he was taken to the dith and rolled in
the mud then placed in wagon and
taken by the milkman to the ranch where
the grasswidow lived. Soap was stood
up against the door, and when it was
opened he fell in the house on the floor
on his back, the jar Of which brought him
to his senses, and upon raising to a sit
ting posture, he beheld the woman he
loved looking down upon him in holy
horror, and, with CHASTITY smile spread
ing over his countenance, he asked her if
she heard anything "drap?" This was a
great shock to the poor creatures nervous
system, so she kicked Soap out of the
house, and with tears in her eyes, babe
him never to return Soap now talks of
nothing but shotguns and there is liable
to be funeral at Bullionville any day.
However, the saloon.keeper and milkman
ar, not happy, for they are now quarrel
ing between themselves.
Horn SILVER MINE.-We lean from ].
c. Lynch that there is not any truth in
the report that has gone abroad to the
effect that the old owners of the Horn
Silver are about to repurchase the mine.
The company is now very busily en-
gagged arranging affairs to work the mine
on much larger scale. They are expert
menting with new process for working
their ore, and should it prove success
full, the company will be enabled to work
its ore without calcining it. 1t now, by
the present method, costs the company
S2S per ton to reduce it's ore, but if the new
method is success, it will cost but Sis
per ton, which is an immense saving, and
the company will then be able to thrible
its working force The three stacks al
Frisco are running under full Roadway
and work is being vigorously prosecuted
on the new furnaces now in course Of
erection near Salt Lake City. The out
look of Frisco is very bright, for there
are several companies now operating
there.
The Meadow Valley mill was to hav'
e. begun work before this, and severa
chlorders, who have chloride ore, hav
been anxiously awaiting its start. Every
thing pertaining to the mill seemed t.
be in readiness for long and successful
run, but it now appears that it canno
possibly start for month or more. TIL
cause of detention is the decay of tn
wooden boxes, which were used, in lie-
OF IRON pipes, to convey water to tn
mill. This artificial ditch, which
nearly three miles long, is now utterl
useless, and will have to be rebuilt tn
entire distance before steam can be got
ten up.
RICH STRIKE.-One of our Frenc
chloriders, who lives near the mouth {
the shaft he is working in, says he put i
shot of three pounds of Giant near tn
surface at about quitting time and set
off. He went to his cabin and had
rousing fire in his stove to cook supper
Suddenly the shot went off, and 500
after large rock came through the roc
of his cabin and landed on the stove. H
says it immediately melted and the whol
top of the stove was a mass Of silver
less than five minutes. He now has
mine and improved furnace for sale.
The Gold Hill News says: 1.-THE stol
that A. S. Gould had died simply aro
from his having dyed his hair. The Gu
tom is quite prevalent in Phoebe" tt
News is mistaken, for the custom is II
prevalent in Phoebe, yet there are maj
here who would like to dye, but they
got no wool on the top of their heads
to dye.
INSANE Word came in from Brist
Friday morning that a man at that plac
commonly known as "Boston," had (
come insane and was going around tn
town in nearly nude condition. Sher
