 Az ADvExTuRE.- Our esteemed friend and worthy fellow-citizen, John A. Rush. met with what al one time threatened to be a serious ad- venture, at his saw-mill on Banning Creek q short distance south of town, one day this week He was standing near the mill. when mounted soldier charged mp in front of him, levelled hi. carbine at Mir. Rush. and told him he would ccr- iainly shoot him if bc did not give him a knife. The Indians have tried 10 kill me said the sol dier, 'and l want-must have a knife with which to return and kill them" Friend Rush. who. it may be supposed felt little uneasy while look ing down the barrel Of the cooked gun. informed the soldier that be had no knife to give. Bat. that did not satisfy him, and again did he threat en to shoo, in case the knife was not speedily produced. Seeing that mild words and grave advice bad no effect whatever upon the trooper, who was evidently crazed by drinking too much bad whisky, Mr. Rush picked up picket and very coolly told him that he would split him in two tor something to that eaecO if be did not put mp the gun. This had the desired effect. The man regained his reason. put up the gun. which. upon examination, was found to be m. loaded he having accidentally discharged it himself, while fleeing from imaginary foes. MAJOR PEHgINs, genuemanly officer now sta. tiosed s, Fort Whipple, dropped into the office one day this week, to subscribe for paper for his father, Dr. N. $. Perkins, of New London. Connecticut, did so, took look at uur office and expressed surprise at seeing so much printing material out here in the wilderness. The Major mas served in iirr sIa ay .c=SS .i..e end : years ago, fought our old neighbOrs, the Pit RiTc. !sa:aas, ef cslifernia,
 "USck" BILLY POSTER, a brave, industrious, honesthearied pioneer, who came to this country with the Walker party, n 1883. met MS on the street the other day, and informed us that he was on his way to the head ofLynx Greek, to start his arastra. We wished him success, and we think he will succeed this winter, in making a home stake. He Is getting too old to rough il much longer on the frostiecs, being now up wards of co years. His ledge. the Pointer ' out of which he himself has mined about fifty tons of ore, is one of the richest in the country Again we say, success to the old man.
 LOWER LINK CREEK.-Piacer mining will soon be brisk upon the lower portion Of this aurifer ous creek. The Bashford mining company will start in next week. and work will also be re snmed in Jackson, Lovejoy & Co.'s Hydraulic diggings. Jos Revoirs and company have al ready started to work. The Mexicans, a, worl near the old camp, are doing well. Il NIL. Griffin, drstrAts fellow and good miner |, will have charge Of Jackson & Co.'S hydrauli claims. this winter. He thinks he can work 0 10 men to advantage.
 Ed. r. Bowers, one of the owners in the bed rock Hume, ditch and mining claims near th head of Lynx Greek, told us, a day or two ago that 1t is the intention of the company to wor the claims night and day during the water sea , son. He thinks pine knot fires win afford sun Y cient fires for the men to work by, in the nigt a time, and we think so too. h t soG IS or 20 carpenters are at work, buildln '- new houses
