The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1882-09-02
BULLIoNvILLE AND pANAcA DOTS

In noting the number of tons of bull
lion awaiting shipment at the furnace,
last week we put it at 81 tons. whereas it
ought to have been go.
If the editor of the RECORD could have
foreseen the misery and anguish he caused
our young girls, by singing ont the
vainest one of their number, and calling
her belle, we are sure he would be
more cautious in the future.
As we write there is considerable talk
of entering the following horses for pool
race, to take place on Monday. Car
penter's three-year-old FLY, Gordons
Toquerville black, Ryan's Clover Valley
Topsy, and Matthews Burt.
We were forcibly reminded of Mark
Twain's description of riding "bucking
cayuse" while looking at our barber in
his efforts to stick on broncho few
days since; his fate, however, was as in
glorious as Marks, although not as dis
astl Gus.
That young man from Bristol is raising
the devil in our village with his winning
ways and MASKING proclivities, and our
heretofore invincible youths are scatter
ing in all directions before his handsome
presence and dove-like voice. Go slow,
Jammie.
A grand ball will be given at Social
Hall, Panaca, on the evening Of the 4th
inst. The parties who are interested in
the affair are sparing no pains to make it
success and have issued a general invita-
ton to the public to come and participate
in the pleasures of the evening.
Our Bishop bitterly complains of the
evil influences that are brought to bear
on the young and rising generation of the
village by their association with the I'M
godly outsiders at the public inn,
where blasphemy and other devices of
Satan are frequently INDUCED in.
Our people. if they did blaspheme a
little last week and say "by hell, they
were not to blame, for it was more than
any of the saints in the calender could
stand to be without water, with the mer.
curry over a hundred in the shade; but
all hands turned out, the ditch righted
and water coneth again.
Mr. Vallejo returned Tuesday evening
from Tempiute and speaks very favorabl,
Of the mines in that section. He think.
the Inca mine is fabulously rich one
the sample he brought from it having
assayed 1855 ounces per ton. 1t would
not surprise us if Tempiute proves thu
| Dorado of Southern Nevada.
A matched horse race was made il
Panaca on Tuesday, to be run after tn,
other races Monday evening. The rae
is between Nyswonger's sorrel pony--th
one they got defeated in the last race
and sorrel horse belonging to the Mat
thew boys. Mr.. Gordon, of Silver Reef
is backing the pony, and the Smith boy
the Matthew horse. The stakes ar
5000; distance, $50 yards. Half tn
the stakes have been put up as a forfeit.
In a conversation with Mr.. Gordon
one of the trainers and hackers of Nys
wonger's "Deseret Colt, ne said: hav
full confidence in the colts ability t
beat that old veteran race-horse "Sel
kirk" The fact is, "Selkirk" is not
quarter horse, and if he was, he is too oil
and stiff. jointed now to beat our horse
He may cut score us and out Jump u:
but have never seen horse that "coul
pick up as quick" as the colt, and tell tn
readers of the RECORD for me that if on
horse gets beaten, he will show the welt
of the whip very plainly.
In talking over race matters with NJ
Carpenter he expressed himself thus:
understand there has been considerab
talk of foul racing on the outside. Nov
the parties who talk thus do not kno
what they are saying for it will not pa
anybody to bring horse here and trai
him for month for the few dollars thi
he could catch on the outside. If "
had figured OH foul race we could ha,
waited until the smelling company ha
paid off their employees on the 10th. n
, sir, my record as race-man is too we
known through Nevada to warrant al
such suspicion, and if the colt beats n
horse, they will have to use whip al
, spurs, for it will be no walkover, as
was with the "Coalburner."
t The races that are to come off on Mo
day, couple of miles below Panac
= give promise to be the best, without ;
exception, that has ever taken place
the county. Our sporting men adm
: they done very wrong in advertising tV
i days races for the 18th and 10Th
}. August when they were only certain
a one race taking place; but we are char
n able enough to believe that their int
" tions were good enough if they cou
n have agreed on the classification of t
" horses. But there are three rae
+ matched for Monday, with fair show
- a pool race, and as far as we can find 0
a and we have taken some pains in dol
!. so-they will be as much for "blood"
the Nyswonger and Matthew race o.
