not equal to the Grand Prize, when 1t

The Bristol Times is full Of hope for the
future, and says: When the railroads OF
which so much Is continually being said
are completed, the prospects Of our county
will be brilliant In every sense OF the word.
These will open up districts that are now
so difficult Of access that there Ii but little
encouragement given to work and develop
mines, on account Of the great expense
pertaining thereto. Ore can be shipped
to the various mills and furnaces at low
rates, and capitalists will thereby be in
duced to invest. Merchandise OF every
variety will cost less, staples Of all kinds
will sell for from rs per cent to 30 per cent
less expense than at present. There are
many good mines lying idle in Lincoln
County and a large number OF these VIII
undoubtedly be worked on the completion
of the roads. We understand that one OF
these roads will pass near Bristol. This
will prove to be a great advantage TO the
place, as capital will be drawn here. Bris'
tolls prospects have never looked brighter
than now-the mines growing richer and
better every day. Phoebe has good mines
that may soon be worked with large
profits. Besides these Ell Dorado Canyon
Hiko, Tenn Pahute, Pahranagat and 9th
ers will, 10 all probability. loom up al
bullion producers before long.

night at his residence In San Francisco by
the United States Marshal, and was put in
the City Prison. The charge against him
is a very serious one, viz: the embezzle-
ment OF $4,000 obtained on forged vouch-
ers. The statement is that this sum was
due Goodall, Perkins a Co., for work per-
formed by them for the Lighthouse De-
partment. Mr.. Goodall. happening to be
in Washington, went to the Lighthouse
Department and complained that the bills
OF his firm should have been left unpaid

concerning Death Valley: F. A. Connolly

Death Valley. Some relies Of the party
who persisted there so years ago were
found, consisting Of a pocket knife. a wagon
spoke, some bolts and a wagon tire. Mr..
Gonnelly's party visited the lowest place
in the valley, and found the weather quite
warm, so much so that coats and vests
were discarded, and the perspiration start

natural and rare curiosities are to be found
in Death Valley which would prove very
interesting to scientists and mineralogists,
but the difficulties and dangers OF the trip
have deferred many from visiting this

San Francisco Stock Report.
John E.. Bull, noted as the man who
killed Farmer Feel in Montana, was
recently killed at Denver. Langford Peel
was in his day considered the most desper-
ate fighting man on the Pacific Coast. He
was a dead shot and Of iron nerve, and
had faced the six-shooter in the hands OF
an adversary scores of times, several times
bringing down his man When drunk
he was q dangerous individual and q
terror to all who were near him. In the
early days Of the Comstock he OCCASION
ally :" took the town." When on the war
path, he would charge through the streets
with a six-shooter in each hand, driving
the people before him like 30 many sheep
and defying the authorities. There
was an ample force Of police in
the town, but when Peel was on
the rampage the policemen. from the
chief down, had business in old tunnels on
the outskirts of town. he was not a pow
erful man physically, but 80 reckless n
such q dead shot that it was worth a mans
life to cross his path when he was in his
cups Peel and Bull were friends and
partners. While on the road to Montana
in 1867, q quarrel arose between two dis.
reputable women who accompanied them.
The men took up the quarrel and became
enemies. They separated on the roed'
but met shortly after in Helena. One
night Bull went into the principal public
gambling saloon Of the town, where he
met Peel, who called him up and engaged
him in conversation. After a few words
Peel called Bull q hard name and
slapped his face. Bull said he was
unarmed, and Peel told him to go
"heel" himself and come back fighting.
Bull went to his cabin and procured his
pistol, and was coming down the main
