BULLIoNvnLE AND pANAoA DOTS


on Tuesday after prospecting trip of
six weeks in the Bull Valley country.
Johnny don't speak very well of that
country as mineral bearing section.
We learn that Mr.. VIM. Short, who
heretofore superintendent the company's
furnace so successfully at Bullionville,
will be down from his home in Salt Lake
by the first of the month to take charge
again. ~
We learn that one of the young ladies
who received Scarf load" of the comic
valentines at the bon ton ball in Panaca,
proposes sending back the nasty things
to the parties who We're ungallant enough
to offend her in such rude way. Go in,
sis, and you will have our sympathy.
The Bullionville Smelling Company
intend starting their furnace between the
LIST and 9Th of the approaching month
They have at present some 400 tons Of
concentrations on the dump, and with
such a.start. they will be enabled to make
another three.month's'run.
Mr.. Wedge is doing q rushing business
in Panaca since he added to the many
other attractions of his house very fine
pool table. He has hired the services of
Mr.. Frank Carroll, gentlemanly young
fellow and an experienced hand at the
business, to wait on his numerous GUS
| toners.
We think that when a young man SO
far forgets himself as to turn his back on
the fair and lovely daughters of Panaca,
to 60 to Phoebe for dance partner, he
must have the jim jams, and on arriving
at that place and getting refused, we
think it served him right. Next time
don't be so fastidious, and learn to pa
tronize "home maidens."
A few days previous to the grand ball
that was given at Social Hall, Panaca, a
young man was indiscreet enough to send
note to young girl of that Stake,
stating among other things that he would
be over some time during the week to
ask for the pleasure Of escorting her to
the dance. That young man realizes by
this time that he was out of his latitude
when he sent a courteous note to a Pa
naca girl, for they will invariably squeal.
The truth of the old adge, that mis-
fortunes seldom come alone" was forcibly
impressed on our mind the night of the
big hop at Panaca. While lying doubled
/ o,,1 all af ,h ~ h.nL II
quarters at Bullionville, from the effects
Of that most dread of diseases, lead
poisoning, we would have uncomplaining-
ly borne the pain, and not missed the
pleasures of the dance much, but the
thought that some other fellow was bask-
ing in the smiles of our lady love, came
near killing us.
Fred. Williams and Lee Routzong
brought down from the neighborbood Of
Highland, last Tuesday, some Of the
finest silver bearing rock that it has been
our pleasure to see in long time. 1t is
not only good to look at, but it assays
away up in the hundreds. The boys say
that it is new find in an old and aban
doned claim, and that if it were possible
to back a six-mule team up to the ledge
that they could load it by putting in t:
few shots. Anthony Mcmahon is il
with the boys and will share all the glory
and profits of the new bonanza.
RICH ORE is proven beyond
doubt that deposits containing gold exis
out at Stampede Gap. Exceedingly ricl
specimens brought in from there sub
stantiate this fact. Rock from there ex
hibited on the street was " lousy" will
gold. The yellow metal was first en-
eountered in the "First Chance mine
and not the Ontario, as stated by us las
week. The First Chance, like all tn
mines in that locality until lately, wa
an old abandoned prospect, and fe,
, days ago was relocated by Tom Brown
Thomas, and another man. The ledge
from eight to twelve feet in width, an
is composed of iron and quartz. OIL
prospectors, who prospected at Stamped
! in 70, used to express the opinion tina
; gold existed in that country, and develop
} ments prove them correct in their opir

DISTRIBUTION OF ANNUITIEs. AT Hack

Spencer arrived there with several WACO
loads Of supplies for the Walapi Indians
