The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1884-05-10

Mr.. O'Dow has severed his connection
with the salyationists.
Bristol has now FIVE gin.mills, with a
prospect of three or four more in the
near future.
Mrs. Saunders has made comfortable
little residence out of the delapidated
postofiice.
Mr.. Guild, gentleman lately from
Vermont, arrived in Bristol on Monday.
He will occupy the position of receiver
at the furnace.
The furnace, under the iudicious man.
agement of foreman Richard Walsh, is
running smoothly and turning out very
fair quantity of rich bullion.
That curly.headed youth from Panaca
has ingratiated himself into the good
graces of our young ladies with his me.
lodious voice and musical banjo.
The old saying that 1T is never too
late to reform, has been strikingly ex-
empli6ed in town very lately, and the
erring sister received as the prodigal of
old.
Johnny Quinn came in from Eureka on
Sundays blackboard. Johnny looks as
hale and as hearty as ever, and will give
house-warming to his many friends in a
few days.
Frank McShane, one Of the B. s. NJ.
Co. s furnacemen, strained the small of his
back so severely daring the fore part of
the week, while lifting on bar, that he
had to go to Phoebe for medical aid.
A few nights since couple of our
ladies, not wishing, We suppose, to be
outdone by the lords of creation in their
fight against King Alcohol, organized
into committee of two and made it hot
for a bloated saloonist. Go it, madams!
1t gives US pleasure to state, on the
information of reliable authority, that
Frank Carroll, the young man who mar.
ried Miss Davis of Panaca, was not the
Carroll that committed the robbery over
in Utah some weeks ago. We hope the
Bristol man is correct.--Ed. RECORD
Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Clinton, with
their families, arrived in town during the
week. The former lady has taken
charge of the postoffice, and, in connec.
ton with the distribution Of the mails,
will keep ON hand general assortment
of merchandise, including fine favored
havanas, choice assortment of old Vir-
ginia tobaccos and the latest brands of
cigarettes, with candy, nuts, etc.
In consequence of the large percentage
Of copper in the Day ores, considerable
copper matte is being daily taken out of
the furnace. The copper forms on the
lead, in the crucible, andwith other i'm.
purities find its way to the iron tap and
lead well, from which it Is taken. Supt.
A. X. Grim is at present perfecting ar
rangements for the separation of the
copper from the other metals, and if we
take that gentleman's former successful
experimental tests as q basis on which to
form an opinion, we can safely predict a
success in this instance.
Since the medicinal qualities of DR..
Alexander's Balm of Gilead has become
so widely known in the county, bach.
elor cannot 90 to Phoebe but what every.
body takes it for granted that he is going
there to get married, and right away
gathers up all the old tin cans and other
implements of charivari party in order
to give him benefit on his return. The
parties, however, contemplating the
hymeneal knot in Bristol, have so far
disappointed their many friends, and a.
a consequence there is large assortment
Of old tinware on hand, that will be used
for the musical entertainment of the first
venturesome benedict that arrives in
town.
An over.sanguine youth boastingly re.
marked to a few of his chums at the
school.house social Thursday evening
that he was going to see his sweetness
home if he had to walk knee.deep in
gore. This being peaceful community,
we suppose freshly meant mud, as there
was considerable on the streets on the
evening in question, but he did not even
keep his word in that respect, for another
fellow walked off with the prize, while
he stumbled into the nearest saloon and
hiccoughed for brandy and soda. Moral:
Young men should never be too overly
confident where the fair sex are con.
cerned. 1t will do to gamble on four
kings when you know there are only
three aces in the deck; or favorite nag,
when you know for certainty that his
opponents rider will keep a stiff grip Of
the lines, but for goodness sake don't
waste money on too much sweetness or,
in the vernacular Of Nose Harris, you'll
get left" fss
