RoBBERs.-The daring of Broadway
robbers far surpasses the holiness with
which the highwaymen of Hounslow

The very crowd of Broadway is a partial
cover for these bold freebooters, for in
that crowd it is evelybody's business to
interfere in nobody eise's business
One afternoon, at the crowded corner of
broadway and Warren street, two men
trlpped apparently and fell. One re-
covered himself first and walked away
without stopping to apologize or to looi,
out for his companion. Not one in the
crowd paid any attention to the matter
further than to laugh quietly at the mis-
nap. And yet in the few seconds of that
n laii one OF the men was robbed by the
OF other of thirty-five thousand dollars
The tripping and the fall were parts of a
bold plan of robbery thus successfully
carried out.-M z, Paper.

RISING Sun HrNE.-We were shown, Wednes-
day last, by J. H. Neff, Senator elect from this
county, some half dozen pieces of rich quartz,
weighing, in the aggregate, some five or six
pounds. The rock is scanned with gold which,
II all in one, would make slab of gold about
half An inch thick running longtudinally through
the ledge, which is about foot thick at this
point. The gold is very pure and worth SIS so
per ounce. Such rock as we saw should yield
&15, 900 or 500, 900 to the ton. Some distance
from this point the ledge widens to four feet,
and is an almost solid mass Of rich sulphurets.
This very rich body of ore was opened last Sat
urday at depth Of $40 feet from tho surface,
point far below any atmospheric influence, and
for this reason more reliable as a permanent and
extensive deposit. This mine has been worked
several years, and within the past year the COM
pany has sunk the shaft from depth of $50 feet
20 the present depth Of $40 feet, aside from drift
ing and prospecting the ledge as they went down.
The company has five stamp mill, steam power,
eight hundred pound stamps nine inch dies,
eleven inch drop and sixty-fvo drops per minute
with capacity Of ten tons per day. There is
5000 feet in the claim, and within the past three
months dividends TO the amount of seven dollars
per foo: have been declared and paid, being
net profit on the working of the mine in ninety
days of $21 900. This is the deepest worked
mine in the county, and although tho owners
had at one time, expended over $60,O00 over
receipts, they kept on with undaunted courage,
knowing no such word as fail, and now richly
deserve their success and the fine prospects in
sight.

There was disposition at first to pay no at
tention to the news of the armistice on the part

changed their attitude, and the Germans and
