OPPORTUNITY to assist in taking him to
Jail. Threats of taking Howard from
the officers and hanging him were freely

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
AMERICAN FLAG MINE. - The American
Flag is proving itself to be one among
the richest silver mines of the country.
Immense bodies of rich ore have lately
been struck on the fifth and sixth levels.
From twenty-five to thirty tons of high
grade ore are being hoisted daily, and
the company's mill is running regularly,
yielding most satisfactory returns. The
ore is being hauled to the mill as fast as
hoisted. Everything, at mill and mine,
betokens prosperity.

violation, without regard to persons OF
circumstances. Its prompt and full en-
forcement would be merciful to those vio-
lating its provisions, as it might save
them from worse fate than suffering its
penalties, and, most important of all,
valuable lives might thus be saved
There should be no compromising with
misdemeanors Of this character.
