The Picnic. The picnic down at Del.

THE Picnic. The picnic down at Del
moi's ranch last Saturday is pronounced
by all who attended to be the grandest
affair Of the kind that has ever taken
place down there. All the families in
Phoebe went to the pleasure grounds, and
a number of the children from Royal City
came in Friday and went down on the
train Saturday, also several of the big
boys from the mines in Bristol District.
The train. after landing the people of
this end of the route at the pleasure re-
sort, proceeded to Bullionville, taking .
few Of the Piochers along and dropping
them at the cave in Condor Canyon,
where they lunchsd The Panaca and
Bullionville people turned out in full
force, and train load was brought to
Delmoi's, while several large wagon
loads of human freight arrived from the
same places. The older people spent the
day in dancing, while the young children
amused themselves in playing, catching
minnows and frogs, and falling in the
water bitches. About in the afternoon
the train started from the grounds and
brought the Bullionville and Panaca peo-
pie home, and then returned and took on
the Piochers. Coming up the caboose
jumped the track and broke wheel, so
was left, and at Clark's station, four miles
from town, the large hat-car, which was
greatly overloaded, the boys being piled
up under the benches and men clinging
to the sides, also broke. The engine,
loaded with women and children, then
started for town, arriving about o'clock.
When this became known the teams,
which had couple Of hours before ar
rived from Delmoi's, were sent after those
left behind, and after wo0ding up the
engine returned and brought the balance
home. Those left behind enjoyed them.

benches from the car, and sit there sing
ing songs till the engine went after them.
Engineer Stoddard, who has for years on
different occasions afforded both young
and old pleasure trips and picnics, again
earned the thanks of the general public
and placed them under many obligations
to him.
JOHNNY PEOPLES was in town the
best part of the week renewing old &C
quaintance and entertaining the residents
by giving them news of old mountaineers
who now dwell in New York and the
East, and are now well-to-do. Among
the many others he mentioned Mike Nc.
Cool, who dealt faro for Johnny Clark.
McCool is now wealthy and was ON the
eve of purchasing seat in the Boston
Stock Board. He made big money talk
ing chloride and porphyry down East.
Nevadans have graveyard of their own
in New York, and Peoples says there is
only room for two more to be planted in
it.
He was nice young man, and sweet
young man, so he rode to the picnic on
horses back, and he met a nice young
gal at the picnic, and wishing to come
home on the cars with her he paid boy
dollar and half to ride his horse home.
On the train the girl threw off on him,
and at the breakdown at Clark's station
his disgust was so great that he hoofed it
to town.
