struggled in the hands of the officers
for some minutes before he could be
overpowered, instead Of giving in a,

used mighty rough, as he or anybody
else will under such circumstances.

being no tangible evidence against

bought the Trench mill, Silver City,
have now bought the Sullivan mill,
adjoining just above, and are tearing
down aud removing the same, in order
to give more room aud space for their
operations. The Sullivan mill, once the
property Of Jerry Sullivan, the famous
news dealer Of San FRANCISCO, now de.
ceased, was one Of the very first mills
erected in Gold Canyon, and in common
with all old relics of past usefulness, II
fell into q decline, and for the past
three or four years has been iying idle,
the machinery Of the olden time not
shifting present requirements. Thus
one after the other the old landmarks
are being wiped out. Gold Canyon,
however, is likely TO remain IN its pres
ent position-little end az hill-for
some time to come.

weeks past, and have succeeded IN de-
veloping q fine vein of ore which assays
