All Sorts Of Items from the - News'
of May IA.
The second number OF the Wood Rive,
News is at hand. We Gull from it the an,
nexed items Of interest:
Bradford is to have q first.class saloon
The building is under way.
The evening throng on Main street il
equal to a Broadway scene.
Bird Reynolds says he will have his
house-a fine large hall-on Main street in
full blast in ten days.
Sunday Nick Millich will open a stand
for the sale Of candies, nuts, oranges ap-
pies, and oil kinds Of fruits.
Joe Rogers, once the boss umpire of the
Nevada baseball clubs, is running a news
and stationery depot in Bellevue.
Trout fishing will be in order in q week
or two. The creeks and rivers are a little
bit too high and muddy for successful
angling just at present.
Len Wines says that his coaches (the
Blackfoot and Wood River line) will run
through from Blackfoot to Kstchum in
2S hours very shortly.
Trainload after ~trainload of goods are
coming for u merchants, and it keeps
them hustling making room to receive the
nauHc anu Ill country UFUerS.
Chris. Mslatesta will throw open the
doors Of his large beer and music hall
about the middle OF the week. Mattresses
will sling the beer.
1t is an understood matter that Joe
Douglas of Virginia City, who was here a
few weeks ago, is to return with the neces-
sary trappings for reducing our ores to
bullion bars.
Pete Esterly il a rustler in all new
camps. He is now at home" for Uncle
Billy Stevens, and is a popular mixologist
in the Stevens Saloon. Tuscarora and Eu-
reka were getting too slow for Pete.
DR.. Thiele, an old-time physician and
surgeon in Eureka and on the Comstock,
and later of San Francisco, has come to
Bellevue with an eye to live and practice
with us.
Il. L. Plank, q newspaper standby on
and about the Comstock for years. is look
ing over our hills for type metal bearing
silver. If he finds the silver in paying
quantities he will touch the types very
lightly.
Through the columns OF the Eureka
SENTINEL we see that " Little Mac" Or.
p. McDaniels) has been interviewed, and
he gives a good word for Bellevue and the
Wood River country generally. Mac is a
mining man, and his opinion on such mat
ters Is worth recording.
The entire outfit for Dan Robinson's
steam saw mill is on the ground, and next
Tuesday the mill will m to turn
out lumber at the rate Of 5 1000 feet every
"a hours. Its propelling power is a 20
horse power engine, and will be run day
and night.
Eb. Torrey and Mr.. Wilcox have gone q
step farther and laid out a town just above
the Eurekans' addition to Bellevue. 1t is
called Centerville, and already boasts Of Q
saloon, whisky store, residence (under
n roof, wide streets, plenty Of good
building sites, and only needs the usual
mining excitement in the hills back Of
town to make it a rival of Bellevue or
HALEY.
Articles OF incorporation have been filed
for the Bellevue Il Wood River Ditch Com
pany. The rights have been secured to
take water out Of the river about two and
a half miles above town, and from thence
convey the same along the foothills east Of
Bellevue upon the plains below, and
through sections 6 and 7, for irrigation
purposes. 1t is a move of great import
ance to this town and the agricultural
country below.
So many parties coming in bring ex-
change on eastern and San Francisco
banks that the amount of change in circu-
lation 10 limited. Silver is q little easier
just now, but 1t has been a hard matter to
get along for two months. One could eat,
drink and be merry on a $40 piece for a
week at a time in the past. Such q state
of affairs could be easily remedied If some
parties would ship in a treasure box full

pains to aid us in the matter.
The Bullion and Mayfower folks have
struck richer and better pay with every
lick Of the hammer during the past two
weeks, but the extent OF developments is
not known to us at the present writing.
The ore is far richer in each case than any
heretofore found, and the bodies are suffi-
cient to warrant extensive preparations for
immediate shipment. We look for the re-
turn teams to load just as soon as the road
is at all practicable, indeed some has been
taken down to Kelton in small lots.
The location Of dwelling and business
lots and surrounding grounds about Belle
vue is rapidly on the increase, and the me-
cessity OF securing lots for burial purposes
has been suggested. As q consequence,
last Wednesday Messrs. Hogan, Hash,
Richardson, Matt Williams, DR.. Marshall
and Others, in committee, selected for the
Odd Fellows and Masons q four-acre site
two for each society-iust south OF the
city burial grounds. 1t adjoins the new
burial place selected last week, and is a
beautiful spot for the setting out OF trees;
is convenient for irrigation purposes, and
is convenient to town.
H. Vorberg, one Of Nevada's chiefs in
the brewery business, has arrived in the
Wood River country at last; picked his
site for future operations in Croy's Gulch,
and commenced the preparatory work OF
erecting a frst-class brewing establish
ment. He has one of the best sites; plenty
of water and the fall there will not be less
than 10 feet. Mr.. vorberg attempted to
get in here last January, but could obtain
no transportation at the time. n SO
fingered at his old Eureka quarters until a
few weeks ago. He will brew by July 4,
so it is we'll to be prepared for the first
dose. Here's to good old beerl Drink 'er
down" etc.
