Mr.. Keisel informs us that as soon as
he secures steady person with little
means he will reopen his brewery.
There is no lack of musicians and mus
ical instruments in camp, and when the
boys get together, a jolly good time is in.
augrated.
Frenchy, the party that killed Billy
Thomas here not long since, is said to
have gone to Calico mountains from Pah-
ranagat Valley.
The town has been pretty lively dur.
ing the week, several poker games being
in session continuously; also q big
spread "stud" game.
Bristol has had two pay.days in close
succession, one on the 9Th and one on
the 18th, but both of these would not
make one good one.
The ventilation of the furnace stack
has been greatly improved, SO that here.
after we do not look for much sickness
among the employees.
The best preventive for lead poison is
to keep the body clean, keep regular
hours, and avoid the use of Intoxicating
liquors. This receipt is taken from the
diary of an old Cerro Gordo furnace man.
1t is a common occurrence almost
daily at the furnace, to see feeder reel
forward as if intoxicated, and fall heavily
to the ground from the effeca Of the poi
sonous fumes emitting from the feed
holes.
The smiling countenance Of Billy Cul.
verwell with four in hand may be seen
in camp every few days. Billy is the

Bristol. although indulging in Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep at present, in compari.
son to former times, will be lively camp

disappears from the hills, quite mum.
Der of chloriders will 60 to work on their
claims, and considerable prospecting
will be done west of camp.
Some Of our bachelor friends say the
only drawback to Bristol, is the scarcity
of young manageable females, and sug-
gest the advisability of sending to Bos.
ton, or Panaca, for carload. Why not
send near to home, gentlemen, Phoebe
for instance, where the young ladies are
noted for their amiability and tight-lac-
ing.
The Day Company's furnace shut down
on the 10th inst, in consequence Of the
inclemency Of the weather, the roads
here being impossible for the large ore
teams, it having taken Mr.. Bartcn's six.
teen.mule teams seven days to make the
trip from the Mendha mine, and then
they had to drop their trail wagons and
come in with half loads. Supt. Grim in.
forms us that the furnace will be started
just as soon as he can get supplies of all
kinds over the roads.
1t must be terribly aggravating to be
in love, and have the object of your affsc-
tions situated at distance. We do not
speak from experience, however, although
a bachelor, but from the actions of some
of the Panaca boys soiourning in our
midst. One of those young fellows, on
learning that his charmer attended the
late hop in Phoebe, in the company of his
rival, has been threatening to blow his
brains out, and otherwise acting in =
crazed manner. Moral: Beware of the
Panaca girls.
