Gold Canyon, just at the upper end Of
Silver City. The circumstances were
as follows: Captain n. Taylor, gate
keeper and part owner In the toll road,
was alone In the Office, his assistant, J.
Considine, having shortly before taken
a walk down to Silver City. He stood
near the safe, which was open, with
his back to the front door, counting
over his receipts for the day. He had
just placed the money drawer back
into the safe, when suddenly a man
masked In a green veil stalked In, pre-
sented q cooked revolver at his head,
and commanded him to be perfectly
quiet or be killed. Another man, sim.
ilarly masked, Immediately came In
and commenced plundering the safe.
He was not long about II, but left with
his booty while the other still kept the
Captain quiet, After the robber had
got safely away with the money the
other rascal walked of, keeping bis
eve on the Captain, and telling him as
he passed out of the door not to follow,
or even look outside, or he would get
hurt. The safe was robbed Of e776 In
coin, and some small change; also two
small bars of silver bullion, amounting
to over $500. There was quite a yalu-
able lot of jewelry In u box In the safe,
belonging to Riley Armstrong, which
the robber did not happen to get hold
of; neither did they Ego through "
the Captain and take the $50 he had In
his pocket. He describes one Of them
as being a short, heavy-set fellow,
while the other vas a tall man. He
could see their eyes through the wells,
but could recognize neither, although
their voices sounded familiar. As soon
Us they were gone he went out and
alarmed the neighbors, there being
several mills and residences close by,
and plenty of people came from Silver
City, but no trace of these enterprising
and successful rascals has as yet been
obtained. George Carman, who works
at the lone mill, passed the dollhouse
at the time of the robbery on his way
home from work, and saw two men Ia
there with the Captain, but owing to
scanty light, he did not notice anything
to alarm or particularly attract his at
tention. A short time previously two
young ladies from Silver City, called
to see Mrs. Taylor, but not finding her
mt home they walked back again. Just
below the Gate they saw two NEIL
come out of a ravine with bundles In
their hands, answering the description
Of the robbers.

torily given last evening, Mr.. Mayo
Bob Briefly in his
usual most excellent style. Miss Sue
Robinson's personation of May Ed
wards" was also very good indeed.
Lindsay was excellent as Dalton
and we never saw "Hawkshaw,' the
detective, better personated than by
Mobiles. The other characters were
generally very we'll personated, and
the piece passed off smoothly and sat
isfactorily. This evening IS the last Of
the dramatic season, and Frank Mayo
takes his farewell benefit. The play
selected for the occasion Is Belphegor,
the Momte6aak, something new here,
and a very interesting sensational
The characters are we'll cast,
as may be seen by reference to dis
tributed programmes, aud as this Is
the last opportunity u theater-goers
will have of seeing Mr.. Mayo OF the
excellent dramatic company, we doubt
not that the Opera House will be well
crowded. Secure seats early.
