BULLIoNvI1LE AND pANAoA DOTS


commenced in Panaca.
There was grand jollifcation meeting
at Wedges Sunday evening. All the
valentine zip-zaps were there with
masher or two on the side.
Our stockmen feel highly elated over
the prospect of an abundance of feed on
the range this season, in consequence of
the large amount Of snow that has fallen
during the Winter months.
We learn that the smelling company
intend letting contract for one years
charcoal. The contracting parties to de-
liver it at the rate of 10000 bushels per
month. This means business.
Master Fred Godbe, bright and in.
telligent young fellow and chip of the
old block, has returned to his duties as
clerk in the company's office after a two
weeks supervision of the concentrating
| tables.
The burning of Ted Gentry's haystack
and corral caused quite little rip
pie of excitement in Panaca Sunday
evening, as there was a strong wind blow
ing at the time. The fire was caused by
one of his children trying to cook some
eggs close by the stack.
The concentrations made over the late
ly improved tables are now being put
through the furnace and making bullion
at the rate OF $50 bars every twenty -four
hours. This is an increase of so bars per
day over anything heretofore accom-
plished in the working of the tailings.
A rosy checked lasse of Panaca met
with a slight accident Sunday evening
while performing la Mazeppa on swing
rope before Il crowd of admirers. For
tunately it was not as bad as the sprain-
ing of pretty ankle last Summer, on
falling from the heights of a plumb tree.
Observations taken while on a round
trip of Panaca with the butcher boy,
lead us to believe that that young man
understands his business in more ways
than one; as the families with good look
ing girls got all the choice cuts and sir
loin, while those without any girls got
bull beef.
Some Of our young b]oods are kicking
plenty, and threaten dire vengeance on
the writer Of these items for showing up
their little MASKING proclivities each
week. We would say to all such would
be bad men, come along and give us a
call, we are always on hand and ready
for such characters.
A couple of vaquaros from down the
valley We're in Bullionville on Friday,
and got more juice aboard than was actu-
ally safe to ride a broncho with; the con-
sequence was, when they started to leave
town they both came to grief, and mar
rowly escaped being hurt while trying to
perform some of the feats of a circus
rider. .. ..
| Bullionville is undoubtedly the I'M
healthiest town in the State. This is
due to the large failing pits close, by the
dust from which is almost continually
blowing about, poisoning everybody and
everything that inhales it. Cats and
dogs readily succumb to the poison, and
even hogs eventually become loaded and
have to be killed to keep them from dy
ing from its effects
Mr.. Nelson, Of Panaca, who by the
way is a granger by occupation, became
greatly excited last week, while taking
out lime rock in the neighborhood of thu
hot springs. The old gentleman found ;
cave in the formation, and finding som,
rock therein streaked with black, con
cluded that he had found silver mine o
surprising richness. The old mans dream
, of sudden wealth, however, was rudely
dissipated later in the evening, by tn
, assayer's return of no trace.
, Since the improvement has been mad
in the working of the concentrating table
at Bullionville, whereby they max
double the amount of concentrations tina
they did formerly, the company furnac
will in all probability be kept constantl
!. running in the future which fact will b
l duly appreciated by everybody in an,
9 way connected with the business. Here
1 tofore the furnace did not run more tha
half the time, being shut down for wan
of concentrations. Now that that wan
O. is supplied there is fair prospect fo
= steady employment for large number c
people.
g 1t must be nice to be good lookin
Y young chap and have all the girls in tn
!. neighborhood after you Such is til
. happy lot of young man in this towr
% A few days ago a couple of his youn
sweethearts came to see him, but nc
finding him at home repaired to Chin
II Sans restaurant, and ordered that c;
q terer to prepare for them the best Dime
= that his larder could afford After pa
y taking Of the meal, the young misses yer
y innocently inquired if Mr.. = boarde
- there, and being answered in the affirm
!. tive, requested Sam to charge their lit
Is bill to him. If we did not know tn
young man, we would have said he can
Ell from Utah.
