The Beaureguard boys, having received
q contract from Mr.. Barton, are coming
from Utah with two six.horse teams to
haul ore to the furnace.
Freighting is rather expensive during
bad weather, it having cost Mr.. Barton
over $3.50 to keep the roads in repair
during the past few months. u
Parties in search of employment will
do well to give Bristol wide berth. for
there are more men here now than can
find work when the furnace starts. \
Billy Culverwell is now making daily
trips between here and Phoebe. Billy is
appreciated in Bristol, and if he wants
an office this fall, he shall have it.

To say that the people of Bristol are
disguised with the manner in which our
mail contractors are fulfilling their duty
is putting it mild, and we shall be greatly
surprised if vigorous protest don't be
sent to headquarters. Previous to the
last mail, which reached here, our citizens
were without any for ten days. Now.
there is no excuse for this hardness on
the part of the contractors, for we have
been informed by traveller just over the
route, that it was fairly passable for
horsemen, and that the mail or a portion
'f it, could be brought in that way very
easily.
