BRISTOL ITEMS.

BR1STOL ITEMS.
Our banking establishment has not yet
opened its doors.
Men wishing to obtain employment will
do well to keep clear of Bristol.
Dick Riepe keeps up his reputation as
a caterer, but as beer maker, oh my!
The little engine placed ON the Temp
pest mine was packed up there on mules.
There is not as much prospecting going
at the mines in this district as there
have been.
We do not expect to see any coin float
ing around until after the first payday
of the Day furnace.
The Day Company's furnace here is
altogether out of fashion-it is not run in
conjunction with store.
The ''tiger" has been taking rest for
number Of days. He will emerge from
the jungle when coin doeth appear.
The teams. hauling ore from Royal City,
and few loads coming in from Highland
and Phoebe, together with the coal teams,
gives Bristol lively appearance, but
there is not any money to be had.
The engine at the Tempest mine was
completed week ago and commenced
running then. The work of timbering
the shaft is drawing near completion.
A force of eight men is employed at the
mine.
The Day furnace is in the best of order.
Foreman Dick Walsh, one of the most
experienced furnace men in this State,
has spared neither labor or expense in
placing it in this condition for the CON-
ing run. Everything about the premises
is as neat and tidy as possible--in fact,
could not be more so. When the furnace
starts up, Foreman Walsh is going to sur
prise the natives by the vast quantity Of
ore he will shovel into it and the large
stacks of rich bullion he will take out.
Long may she wave.
The Bristol Mining Company is work.
ing along as usual. OF late the working
force at the Mayhower has been greatly
reduced-some of the men being dis.
charged and others quitting on their own
worked into shape. They are now doing
work that ought to have been done in the
first place, and would have saved the
company considerable inconvenience, and
was SO advised by Charles Roe and Fore
man McQuaig, but there advice was not
accepted. The company is now working
as economical as possible. The mill is
running as well as can be expected under
present circumstances.
According to the RECORDS own version
it has INDUCED in "jocose squibs
Among the latest batch published, the
RECORD man infers that our mining com
panies are not in the habit of paying
, their Phoebe bills. So far, so good. i
, this be so, why do you itemize the fact
of their settling Phoebe bills monthly p
Bristol Times.
We did not infer that your mining com
, panies are not in the habit of paying
their Phoebe bills, but we said, in plair
terms, that such has been their practice
not only in Phoebe, but wherever they
: could secure one cents worth of credit
either East Or West, as every man il
Bristol is aware of. May the Lord forgive
us, if We have ever been guilty of accus
: ing a mining company operating in Bristo
District of perpetrating such an atrociou
crime upon the public as paying thei
| monthly bills in Phoebe, Bristol or an,
, other seaport. If we ever accused any
company in your district of commit
ting such dastardly act as that, W
beg their pardon. and confess that it wa
