BULLIONvILLE AND pANACA DOTS

The thirteen tables now in operation at
Bullionville run through about fifty tons
of tailings every twenty-four hours. 1t
takes about four tons of tailings to make
one of concentrations. The concentra-
lions average about fifty per cent. lead
and sixty ounces of silver. After coming
from the tables they are hoisted by a
powerful China pump into two large
tanks, from which place they are put into
mill-invented by st. Pierre of Bullion
vile for that purpose-and thoroughly
mixed with certain proportion of lime,
after which they are spread on the yard,
and when dry are ready to be put through
the furnace.
Mr.. Anderson of Bullionville, while
taking little nap in his saloon Sunday
evening, was awakened by noise behind
the bar. On looking for the cause he dis
covered no less parsonage than Cock
eyed Charley" When questioned as to
what he was doing there stated that he
was waiting on the poker game, but an
examination of the till disclosed the fact
that the loose change had mysteriously
| disappeared, together with a greater por-
ton of box of cigars. With one or two
well directed blows Mr.. Anderson made
him disgorge a portion of the plumber
| and then kicked him out of the house.
A dozen or so of the youths of Bullion
| vile, with their store-clothcs on and the
usual amount of candy in their pockets,
wendell their way to Panaca the other
evening, under the impression that there
was to be dance there. On arriving at
that burgh they found to their disap-
pointment that the dance was myth.
But they, undaunted, and being joined
by Fulks' cowboys, repaired to Mr..
| Wedges, where they INDUCED in a stag
dance and wine drinking, with cocktails
on the side.
Robt. McClane and Peter Hansen are
two of the most persevering workers in
Bullionville. They can be seen daily wash
ing out the dirt from around the old
mills and retorting places, and we learn
make very fair wages thereby. When
the fact is taken into consideration that
the greater portion of the same ground
has been worked over four and five times
by as many different parties, some of
whom have made 'small-sized fortunes by
| the operation.
Conversational lozenges play an active
part in Panaca dance, as we'll as Pa
naca courtship, at the dance hall. The
correct thing for a young man to do now
when he wishes to dance with lady is
to hand her lozenge with the motto
twill you dance" If acceptable the lady
will return one with the words thereon,
with pleasure" This happy innovation
of Panaca etiquette saves fellow from
getting the mitten in the old way.
We visited Stampede Gag last week
for the purpose of examining some min.
ing property, but the snow was too deer
for that purpose, being fully two feet on
the summit. Messrs. Simpson, Thomas,
McGee and young Sharp are working on
their several prospects and intend sur.
prising the natives in the Spring with
their large ore bodies.
The cattle bought by Bob Fulks o.
Phoebe from Mr.. Gear of Pahranagat
were rounded up on the hills close to Pa
naca last Friday evening. 1t will take {
good Winter range to fit them for tn,
Spring drive. The herd is in charge o
Shanks and their present destination il
Summit Springs, Utah,
The Young Mems Christian Mutua
Improvement Association of Panaca doe
not seem to be in very fourishing con
dition, or very largely attended, if we ar
correctly informed. At their churcl
, Sunday night week ago there was in at
/ tendance three small girls and two boys
There was an international game 0
poker played in one of the Bullionvill
saloons Monday evening last. The play
ers were Chinaman, an Indian, Scandi
navian, Mormon and Gentle. TIL
Wiley Chinee got away with the pot.
