Some of the young brethren of Panaca
celebrated the 18th of Ireland in grand
style.
The calico ball that was to take place
at Social Hall ON the 18th has been in
definitely postponed.
The company furnace, under the iu.
dicious management of Mr.. w. Short, is
turning out bullion at the rate of ninety
bars every twenty-four hours.
Anthony Mcmahon will be out in a
challenge next week to run his bay horse
"Mountain Sprite" q mile and repeat,
two best in three, against any horse in
Lincoln county.
Heretofore we were under the impress
sion that jealousy was mainly confined to
the gentler sex, but lately the symptoms
of the green-eyed chap have been very
apparent among some of our young mas
culine citizens.
We lea.n from gentleman up from
the Vegas that indications are good on
that ranch for large crop this year.
Everything is in full bloom there at pres
ent, and to the weary traveller it is a
veritable Oasis in the desert.
The dance that took place at Social
Hall Friday evening was very enjoyable
affair in every respect. Some of the
Bullion boys, as usual, tried to "mash"
the girls, but from their actions since,
think they must have got badly cinched
in their attempts.
We have been informed that John
Bently, who skipped the country with
Jake Keele's horse, blankets and money,
abandoned the horse and blankets some
where in Bull Valley, and started on foot
from there to the Reef, where he is at
present chopping wood, Jake recovered
the blankets. -
While discussing matters at Mr..
Wedges Sunday evening, Frank Carroll
stated that he had taken in over the bar
during the week $500. We did not think
that there was that much loose money in
Panaca and Bullionville put together;
but Mr.. Wedge keeps good house
and always treats his customers to the
best, which fact is duly appreciated by
the boys -
The quietness of the usual Bullionville
afternoon was interrupted Monday even
ing by two horse-races and a foot-race.
Anthony McMahon's horse "Mountain
Sprite, y half brother to Capt. Cardin's
colt General Hancock" won both races
easily. Anthony has been quietly put
ting his horse in trim during the past
Winter, and is now prepared to cover all
the loose cash that the boys may feel like
putting up on their fsvorite nags.
When dance commences at $50 and
breaks up at o'clock, we believe there
must be something radically wrong,
especially as the participants are in most
cases young people who have been look
ing anxiously forward for weeks in an
ticipation of a good time on that night.
We think that we have discovered where
in the trouble lies, and would therefore
kindly suggest to the lovers of the terp-
sichorean art that they make arrange
ments for a good supper for the ladies
and themselves for all future dances.
We attended the services of the Nor
mon Church in Panaca for the first time
last Sunday, and was favorably impressed
with what we saw and heard. Mr..
Wadsworth, Sr. made very earnest and
forcible address, and considering the
many severe blows that have been lately
given to polygamy and church rule by
the passage of the Edmunds bill, he was
very forebearing in his remarks, quot
ing scripture to the effect, "That those
whom the Almighty loves best He pun
ishes most Leaving out polygamy and
excessive thithing, we think the Mormon
religion will compare favorably with other
denominations. In fact, we think it has
a great many advantages over some of
the gilt-edged and highly sensational de-
nominations of the East
able sickness among the children of
Glover Valley. Mr.. Charles Searls' little
child, aged about eighteen months, died
during this week. A child of Mr.. Adair,
also one Of Mr.. Woods, linger in a very
critical condition. Colds and sore Threats
is the trouble.
JOHN BLEwErr, who recently returned
from Tombstone, Arizona, says most of
the Piochers down there have been for
tunate in securing employment. He re-
ports the country as being greatly over
done, there being five or six men for every
job. He speaks favorably Of the mines.
PAHRANAGAT VALLEY Mr.. w. M.
Wilson Of Hike arrived in town Wednes.
day. He reports all the RANGERS as being
busily engaged in putting in crops. The
ranchers are planting larger crops in that
valley this season than they have ever
done before. t....-..s.
The Masonic Society completed plac.

during the week. They intend butify-
