STRIKE IS THE HAMBURG NINE
About the first Of the month J.. c..
Powell, superintendent of the above
named mine, commenced sinking in
an old prospect hole, about forty feet
southwest OF the south shaft, COM
mencing at the depth of fifteen feet
upon n cross vein OF ore, which ran
east and west, and was about twelve
lnches in thickness, and which was
followed down to IA depth of forty-five
feet, when 1t intersected "A north and
south vein seven feet in width, which
possesses all the features and charac-
teristics pertaining to permanent lodes
in this district. A handful OF ore
from twenty different places in the
drift yielded an average assay of SS3
per ton. There is a solid body of ore
over, under and on both sides Of the
drift, and the probabilities are that
in n short time a mine Will be devel-
oped there which will have but few
superiors in the district.

NOT DEAD. BUT ARREsrEp.

There is nothing which we so much
dislike as to spoil a good item, and es-
pecially If it is of the sensational class;
and were it not that our love of truth
is stronger than our reportorial in
%stincts, we should be tempted to per-
init the stage robber whom we killed
in Sunday mornings SENTINEL to rest
in peace, and never to resurrect him;
but the memory Of the historical little
l~iatcllet forces us to the admission that
we were misinformed in regard to the
denoument of the affair, although the
other particulars were in the main
correct. The Phoebe Record, Of last
Saturday morning, contains the follow
ing account of the affair:
The stage from Eureka and Hamil-
ton for PiocEe, was again stopped on
Thursday evening by a solitary high
wayman, in the vicinity of the Sheep
Ranch, about eighty miles from Pr
oche. From the account OF Phil. Barn.
hart. the messenger, the stage had
stopped about dark at a very swampy
vi lliIy RtnC0y anu LIlc IiIcSScLKcE u6O
got off Of the stage and in the dark was
searching for a good place to cross.
Whilst doing so the voice of a man
yelled to the driver to throw off that
box, which request was complied with.
Barnhart did not hear the order, but
coming in sight of the dim outlines of
a man, called out, "Say, stranger,
where is a good place to CROSSE" The
gentlemanly stranger did not offer
courteously to show Barnhart the road
but Immediately took his heels, where
upon the messenger smelling a large
sized mice blazed away at the flying
figure. 1t seemed to have no effect,
however, as he could not be found.
The box was returned to the stage, and
they then returned to the station they
mad just lett, at which place they re-
manned all night. The robbers tracks
could be plainly seen in the morning,
showing that he had travelled fast and
had not been wounded by the shot.
This was the cause of the stage arriv-
ing so late last evening.
Last Sunday evening Eugene Blair,
another Of Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'S mes
sengers, arrested a man atW ashburne's
ranch, and brought him into Hamilton,
where he vas placed in Jail. Although
there is no positive evidence against
him the circumstances are exceedingly
suspicious and the chances are that in
a short time the robbery will be traced

We will state that the material Of our
item in Sundays SENTINEL was fur
nished US by a reliable gentleman OF
this town, who had just arrived from
Hamilton and who heard the story re-
lated by some of the employees of the
Stage Company. Whether the tragical
report was the result of the natural
growth of the tale as it passed from
one relator to another, or \ senseless
hoax perpetrated by some member of
the Dalnphool Association, We do not
know. WI published it in good faith,
and upon what we supposed to be un-
doubted authority.
