BRISTOL, New, Oct. 9, 1882.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Bristol is situated
five miles from the principal mines in it,
district. Foremost among them are the
Tempest, Iron, Mayfiower and MONDAY.
all Of which have handsome ore showings
THE TEMPEST.
The Tempest has $500, 900 worth Of ore
in sight, ranging in value from S25 to S75
per on. The depth attained is but 30C
feet, and the chances are good for a great
mine in the near future. The ore is more
adapted to milling than smelling. Gilmer
d Salisbury are the lucky owners of this
mine, as we'll as of the Iron. The latter
has four feet of heavy lead ore, suitable
for huxing, going about $50 in silver and
60 per cent lead. Work was stopped re.
Gently and the men knocked off, though
active operations will soon be recon-
menced.
THE MAYFLowER.
OF the Mayfower but little can be
learned, the Superintendent keeping re-
Darkably close on anything pertaining to
the business Of his company. One thing
is certain, unfortunately, the miners were
" paw Wiz Wd6to III L LII
dignant. Being put off from month to
month, they are becoming the of the
continual procrastination and have filed
liens on the mine Yet those who worked
in that property claim that it is looking
well. The above gave rise to the following
doggerel, which has the merit of portray
ing the feelings against the Maytiower
Company:

That ! might fly away,
I'd go where men would know me not,
And couldn't ask for pay"

THE ooMPANY's FAULT.
The Bristol Times recently published an
interview with Superintendent Goodhue,
devoting an entire column to the purpose
in which he spoke of the debts being paid
by the first of the present month without
fail. He said many other things besides,
which u people, perhaps appropriately,
term ''soft soap." The bills were not
Cancelled on the date mentioned, nor, for
that matter, even yet, causing the credi-
tors to doubt the probabilities OF their
being paid at all. No ill feeling exists
against Mr.. Goodhue on that account. 1t
is the fault of his company that the funds
are not forthcoming.
THE MONDAY.
The MONDAY, owned by Messrs. Barton,
Howell and Wilson, looks better than for
a long time back. Hopes are entertained
of its ultimately proving one Of the main
ctorn &C tln Eir,t L., o,o -, H.
out, some reaching very high figures.
II DAY.
The Day S. NJ. Co. is located on the
other side Of the Bristol range in Jack
rabbit District, eight miles from this
place. A small own (Royal City is built
up near the famous mine. Our people are
surprised at the low figures for which the
stock is selling es they know the Jack
rabbit mine never appeared to better
advantage, during it's entire history, than
it does at present. Rumors are current of
a new strike being made in the lowest level
during the past few days. If they prove
true good times may yet be in store for
Bristol. The Day furnace will soon shut
down for the reason that the hosting
engine, now in use, is far from adequate
to the requirements. No waste ia hoisted,
but is stored away in the drifts, the
machinery barely managing to raise
sufficient ore for the reduction works.
Arrangements were made for removing
the old Hillside engine to Royal City
when the difficulties will be obviated,
and large bullion outputs may be expected.
There is considerable talk of new furnaces
being erected close by the mine, though it
is difficult to determine whether there is
any truth in the gossip.
LIFE N BRISTOL.
Bristol is not overwhelmingly lively.
Dog fights never fail to draw crowds; fistic
encounters between men are frequent and
amusing to all but the participants, while
many q saloon along Main street thrives
by flooding tho town with bad whisky.
Several gamblers and frail women have
taken up their abode among the innocents
the latter, as usual, being the cause OF
more rows than anything else-whisky eX-
cepted. That women are generally at the
root OF all mischief is universally admitted.
%BEIsroL's VOTE.
1t is estimated that Bristol will cast be-
tween 1876 and 140 votes on election day.
One hundred Of these have already regis
tered, and over two-thirds of the entire
number will go Democratic.
CASSIDY n MERRILL.
Messrs. Cassidy and Merrill received
quite an ovation when they addressed the
Bristolians. Bonfires were lit, anvils fred
and hearty cheers given the speakers at
the commencement and end of their ora
tons. Cassidy is very popular, and made
many friends during his visit.
A SLIGHT.
Strother and Dormer will fare hard
for their apparent ignorance of the impor-
lance of our town; they will lose many
votes through not coming.
H MORMON VOTE.
1t is a mistake to suppose that Powning
has the Mormons solid. Several were
heard to say that if they did not vote for
Cassidy they would not for Powning, as
they think that he will work against them
exactly as did Cassidy during his Con-
gressional career, though with less effect,
not being 80 capable. In that case the
Mormon vote would count for naught, as
they would scratch both men.
ON DIT.
1t is whispered that Eugene Blair will
soon tie the matrimonial knot, the other
party to the contract being a young lady
of this place. Mr.. Blair was formerly one
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s bravest and most
trusted messengers. He is now in bust
ness on his own account.
THE "BoYs."
Poker and faro appear flourishing. The
youthful editor OF the Times and a 'jolly"
gentleman from Typo went down before
two pairs (of iacks) in the hands Of a
third party. The former held three OF a
kind, while the latter went broke" on an
ace full. Poker 10 truly u seductive and
sinful game.
The Phoebe Records correspondent fell
by the wayside, the cause being too great
a fondness for gin cocktails. II must not
be supposed that the Bristol newspaper
men are a bad lot, though their "Bohe-
mian'' characteristics occasionally crops
