rs,t,S TROUBLES IN CTAH.-From a
Gentleman who arrived in town on Sun
dsv evening from Circleviile, Piute coun-
a.. Utab. we learn that the white settlers
living in that part of the country have
had recently some trouble with the In
a;.,s AMI as more trouble is apprehen-
IA n,rli.s have come all tue way to
p;o,be distance Of $50 miles, to pro-
ara more arms and ammunition with
,,bich TO combat the common enemy. A
tsv DAYS before Christmas fight occur
rsd in Grass Valley, about Is miles from
crcleyille, between McCarty and three
other white men on one side and four
Nayahos Indians. 1t seems that these
Indians were in an unoccupied cabin
belonging to man hamed Carter, living
at Beaver. The white men went to the
cabin to warm themselves, and there
found the Indians. Upon examination
Of a beef hide, McCarty found his brand
upon it, and proposed to the Indians
that if they would give him pony as
recompense for the beef they had stolen,
all would be right. This proposition was
answered by the Indians beginning the
attack with their bows and arrows. They
had gun and sixshooter. but as neither
was used, the superstition is that they
we're out of ammunition. The white
men retreated outside the cabin and con.
Quoted their fight. One of the Indians
caught young McCar,y's gun, when a
German called John shot the Indian
with Henry rifle, the ball striking under
the left eye, and ranging upward, pro-
duced instant death. Another drew his
bow to shoot Tom Richardson, who stood
in front of the cabin door, when young
McCarty shot the Indian through the
hand. The whites then retreated about
80 yards and procured bale of hay,
and commenced rolling it towards the
cabin, using it as breast-work, and in
tending to set FIRE to it and burn the In
dams out The three Indians compre-
bending the situation, fled, but the one
who was wounded in the hand was shot
dead. The other two took McCarty's
horses aud started off. The white men
then drove up and saddled theIndians
horses and started in pursuit. After
chasing them about Is or Is miles,
another Indian was shot and killed.
The fourth one got away, al
though he was pursued about
ten miles further This fellow escaped
on foot without blankets, and it is sup
posed that he was wounded. The whites
captured nine horses. four saddles and a
lot of blankets. None of the whites were
injured, though one OF them had an
arrow shot through his coat Our in
formant was told by Red Lake Indian
that 200 Navahoe Indians were coming
to avengo the death of their comrades,
and as there are only G5 or 10 whites in
the settlement, they feel the need of
ample supplies of arms and ammunition.
Our informant came by way OF the post
Mt Beaver, where he gave information to
Colonel Wilkinson of the difficulty in
Grass Valley. The Colonel had heard
Of the trouble, and sent IL men to inquire
into the facts. He also promised to send
company for the protection of the
white settlers.
CoUNTERFEITING,-On Saturday oven-
ing Officer Mckee arrested and lodged
in Jail man by the name of Lynch, a
miner by occupation, on a charge Of
counterfeiting. 1t seems that Lynch
was playing at faro, aud playing in 50 50
pieces as gold coin. The unusual mum.
Der paid in finally attracted attention,
and the officer, being informed of the
circumstance, interposed his authority
in the case. Upon searching Lynch he
found n number of the spurious pieces
in his possession. Lynch was then ar
rested and the counterfeit coin taken
from him. We yesterday inspected
some of these coins, which We found tc
be composed of some material botf
lighter and softer than gold. They ART
well executed and so galvanized tina
they could be passed upon causal OBJ
server, particularly in the night time
without difficulty. But comparing
either the weight or hardness of TIL
spurious coin with the genuine articl
will lead to a detection of the cheat n
once. There is no knowing how man
of these counterfeit pieces may hav
been passed on the unwary The col
being very small and Of comparativel
little value, persons are not apt to sui
ject them to very rigid inspection. Blu
now that some of these spurious coin
have been put in circulation here, pee
pie will be on the alert and scan closel
every $50 piece presented. We hay
not heard Of counterfeit coins of an
other denomination being in circulatio
here, and hope there has been non'
The belief is that the implements for tn
casting of these spurious coins are hel
in Phoebe, or not far off, and the Office
or citizen who can ferret out the wher,
abouts of this bogus mint will be Ell
titled to the thanks of this communit

AMERICAN FLAG MILL.-The America
Flag mill has just finished making tho
ough repairs, and is prepared to do Il
best of work. A new dry kiln, 81 fe
square, has been built, provided with t'
furnaces, which dries the ore quickly al
thoroughly. The capacity of the mill
thus much increased. The mill h
always done satisfactory work, and wi
increased facilities must still retain I
confidence Of the public. The mill
now working ore from the Washington
Creole mine, and extracting 80 per eel
Of the silver contained therein. A.
Moore, the foreman of the mill, has b
much experience in the treatment of OF
in this camp, and understands the pl
cesses best adapted to obtain good resu
from the different classes and grades
ore the camp produces. Prospect
having small lots OF ore for reducti
will find this mill possesses all necessa
facilities for making thorough MILL
