Town AGENTS. = We often hear Of
road agents." but we believe that the
following is the frat instance Of "town
agents" we have heard Of. On Monday
night last Mr.. Casper Haup,, who keeps
a hotel in Silver City, was set upon by
two h~ighwaymen under the following cir
cumstances: At III o'clock P. N. he
started with Peter D~arrenburger TO go to
his dwelling house, which is some fifteen
yard, from the hotel. When within a
few s,eps OF his door two men presented
themselves and demanded their money or
their lives. The demand was not acceded
10. when il was repeated with much EN-
phasis. Haupt's reply was " the hell you
saw" At thi, point Haup, seized one
and Dsrreuburger the other. Haupt and
his man rolled down the hill until both
landed in the dump Of the Gold Canon
Reduction Works. At this point they
became separated, and the robosr gave leg
bail. Haup, proceeded at once to assist
HI. friend. bu, on his approach the rascal
shook off his man and left on the ouo
quick. During the scuths OF MIR. Barren
burger, the robber he was contending with
dew a pistol and made an attempt to
shoot, him. The 6rst fire the cap only
exploded, which he says saved his life.
Two shots were fred but neither OF them
took effect. Mr. Dsrrenourger had his
head pretty badly cut in several places,
but, NOT seriously. The whole affair occur
red in the very center Of Silver City. The
perpetrators OF this act had best leave for
parts Unknown, as they are known, aud
their chances for getting their just deserts
are good. The proper treatment for such
fellows is to let them stand on nothing
and pull hemp for a while.
IxpxRIAL AND ENTIRE SHArr.-rhe

which was commenced some ten months
ago, has now attained a depth of 655 feet.
and is substantially timbersd 64S feet.
The rock through which the greater por-
ton of the shaft has been sunk is Of q
sreenish color, and is composed OF granite
and quartz, and is very hard. being blast
ing ground. At six hundred feet deep q
portion O! the shat. was left, and three
Commitments are being taken down.
When this shaft is completed, the MAORI
" Of the mines Of Gold Hill will hoist
their ore through it. We understand 1t
is the intention Of the companies 10 con-
,inue the work OF sinking until q depth OF
twelve hundred feet 10 attained. We hope
they may be able to get down double that
depth, as We have always imagined that
the bes, ore OF the Comstock is az greater
depth than ever yet attained. We also
noticed several men at work jus. above
the present hosting works excavstlnE the
hill. We presumed they were making
preparations for the new works which
will soon be erected.
