prosperous at the present time Most Of the
mining in the basin is in this vicinity. and
the consequence is that the "Pike Hill" boys
are enabled to ''put money in their pockets"
with portion of which, by-thc-way they
generally have good time Saturday nights
and Sundays.
HuNG.-A story has been for some time
reported, and is now generally believed, to
the effect that three men who left Volcano
some time ago for the States, via. the plains
stopped on the way to steal cattle. Two of
the three were brothers. 1t seems that
somewhere on the other side of the mountains
they stole herd of cattle, and the next day
were overtaken and captured. A rope was
prepared for them, but they begged and
cried, and made such promises of speedy de-
parture, that they were permitted to go clear.
The same night, however, they stole the
same cattle again, and were again captured.
The elder of the brothers was hung, the 9TH
ers making their escape.
