Mr.. Vincent, who has been teaching
school in Panaca for some time, trans.
ferred his allegiance to Bullionville and
opened school here on Monday. There
| is in attendance six children from Pa
naca, and as many more from here.
Some of our citizens were highly in
censed at Cock-eyed Charley few days
ago for some remarks made by him de.
rogatory to their character as good citi-
zens, They went so far as to hunt rope
to hang him by, when he weakened and
took it all back
The rich gold find that is causing so
much excitement in the southern country
is located twenty miles north of Gold
Basin and some ten miles from the Colo
RADIO river, and not ten miles below Ell
Dorado canyon, as was reported by the
mail rider, Bronco Bill, and published in
the RECORD few weeks ago
There was quite hurrali at Wedges
saloon, Panaca, on Saturday evening. We
counted no less than thirty-five Bullion
ties, and as many more Panacans. The
| lodestone that attracted this vast assem-
blage of youth to Wedges was the arrival
there on that evening a buXom young
widow from Highland.
The young ladies of Panaca have been
busily engaged during the week in max
ing calico dresses for the cite" party that
is to be given at Social Hall on the 18th
instant. From the fact that the ladies
are taking such deep interest in the affair
we have no hesitation in predicting a
good time to those fortunately honored
| with invitations.
Some of our young men have lately
commenced making presents of silk hand
kerchiefs to the matrons of Panaca hop
ing thereby to become solid with the
girls. We earnestly hope that they may
become solid; solid to marry every moth
er's girl Of them, for until something Of
this kind is accomplished we can hope
for no peace in Bullionville
| The Bullionville Smelling Company
have made decided improvement in the
working of their concentrating tables.
Heretofore the tables were covered with
a thick canvas, which they have replaced
with thin sheet of rubber betting, and
it works admirably, making double the
amount of concentrations and running
| them Is per cent. higher than formerly.
| We have been informed by an old miner
who arrived here from Ell Dorado Canyon
that there is not much of anything doing
down there at present. Both of the mills
are shut down for want of wood. Most
everybody have left there for the new
gold excitement north of Gold Basin.
James Cronan, with half dozen others,
is still chloriding, but with what success
our informant was unable to state.
The greater portion of the female popu
lation of Panaca was over on Sunday to
see the smelling works. A prominent
gentleman from Phoebe, on seeing the
vast assemblage innocently inquired il
they came to hold prayer meeting, with
a view toward the conversion of few o.
3 the old-time Bullionites, who were sadly
/ in need of little prayer talk. A young
masher, standing by, enlightened the
gentleman by stating that they CANT
1 solely to see the Bullion boys.
A very nice young man from Bullion

n as it must be nice to have a mother-in

[. A young man from Panaca, while o.
if visit to the furnace, was quizzed b
e some of the boys as to his knowledge i

! 'In what State is Washington City
:. and unhesitatihgly answered, "Rhod
