INTELLIGENCE.


2lst, very serious accident, through his
own carelessness, occurred to Thos. Logan,
aged % years, and son OF Mr.. Robert
Logan, down at st. Joseph. 1t appears
there was reliant nest near the house.
and the ants had several times stung the
baby, and on that day had stung the
child, SO young Logan determined to de-
stroy the nest. He made hole in the
ground near the nest and filled it with
gun-powder, then put match to it, but
Of fire and placed it on the powder and it
failing to cause an explosion, he got down
on his hands and knees and blew
on the coal. This succeeded, for the
powder exploded, mutilating young
Logan's face most horribly, completely
destroying one eye, and possibly both.
His face was filled with gravel and the
flesh torn from off portion of it. Thos
Logan was hard working and promis-
ing young man, and stood high in the
esteem of the settlers Of the lower part
Of this county. He was to have been
married the latter part Of August. Live
Goals and gun-powder are very dangerous
articles to fool with.
GOLD. We have on several occasions
published in regard to gold ledge being
unearthed in the First Chance prospect at
Stampede Gap. Owing to there being
some conflict of title to portion of the
ground with another claim, in which Sol
Brisacher and Ike Garrison were inter
ested, no work was done on the claim.
Chance resembled the gold ore of the
Black Hills, it was reported the ore had
been sent to Phoebe from that country.
On Thursday number interested in both
claims went out to Stampede, and in the
evening returned, Brisacher bringing back
with him several pieces of rock in which
gold could be seen with the naked eye,
that he had taken from out the ledge
himself. 1t is likely that the two claims
will be consolidated, thus settling all dis
putes which might arise, and work done
OH the claim.
THE affairs of the Bristol Company re.
main i'll statu quo since our last issue.
So far nothing has been done to settle up
Indebtedness of the company, which is
the about only $1,000, as far as known,
in this vicinity. The officers of the CON-
pany here have not received any answers
to dispatches sent by them to the head
quarters at Minneapolis. The indebted
ness of the company is so small that it is
thought the debt will be paid. The COM
pany has been managed from the very
first by men who are inexperienced in
would not listen to the advice of men
who had mined for years. As usual, the
whole, or most of this Indebtedness. is
burdened on the Phoebe merchants.
Suits have been entered in the District
Court, and protests filed at the United
States land Office, against parties making
applications for patents to the Great
Eastern and National mining claims of
Bristol District, by the Bristol S. NJ.
N. Company, who claim that the survey
made of the above named mines has
taken in portion of ground belonging
to claims owned wholly or partially by
the company.
BILLY CULvERwELL, who runs the light.
ming express wagon between Phoebe and
Bullionville, has just received new
spring wagon, which is pronounced the
easiest and most comfortable riding vehi-
Gle ever brought to this country. Fami-
lies wishing to visit Panaca, stopping
there for several days, now have an OPP
portunity to do so, at small expense.
AN ELECTION Wednesday next,
August 2, there will be an election held
in Phoebe for the purpose of electing q
Chief Engineer, and First and Second
Assistant Engineers, of the Phoebe Fire
Department. The polls will be at Pro
lection Hose House No. 2, and will be
kept opened from 0 A. M. to 2P. NJ.

postoffice has been established there
Several claims are being placed in sucl
condition that they can start in working
them at short notice. The parties in TIN
East interested there intend resumint
work on some of their mines shortly.
On Sunday number of our resident
whiled away the Sabbath by going on
of town. A few went out to HIGHLAND
Canyon and INDUCED in sort Of picni
under the shades Of the lofty pines, Will
many went down to Panaca, we suppose
for the purpose of attending church.
