MEssRs. STAGSEE. Hogan & Powers,
stepped into Il office last Sunday and eX-
hibited a yeast-powder can full of gold, the
result of last weeks work in their gulch
diggings, about q mile above town. The
can contained $3.50, and it was obtainedfrom
five sets, or 200 square feet of bedrock and
was taken out by four men in five days. 1t
gives us pleasure to chronicle the success of
these gentlemen. They have labored long
and faithfully on their drain and deserve the
reward they are now reaping.

length. 1t was a melancholy day. "Touse,"
the ever-faithful Watchdog, was dead.
A newspaper solicitor had been that way.
Seeing him approach the door, the faithful
canine, unobserved by the family, rushed
Onward and bit him. Twenty-four hours
later Touser was ne more, having parked
himself to death. He barked at everybody,
everything and nothing. He didn't offer to
bite anybody, but followed the nearest
nelghbor to the adjacent town, barking at
the rate of l50 barks per minute. He
barked a whole family into hysteria. He
barked a blister on q (military) post. He
barked until his voice was gone, then he
barked at the man in the moon in a whisper,
until he grew pale in the face, and then
died. He was a good dog, and up to the
day Of his remarkable death was of an ex-
ceedingly taciturn habit. We wept with
them, inquired for q stray mule, and de
parted.
WE are pleased to contradict the report
Which has been currently circulated during
the past week to the effect that the Diamond
II had abandoned the transportation bust
ness over the Carroll route. Mr.. Ben Kim
Der, one of their efficient wagon-masters.
who called upon us Tuesday, says this com
pany are making arrangements to do a more
extensive freighting business than they have
done IN any previous season.

received from a reliable gentleman who had
just arrived from Smiths River Valley the
account published Of a fight between band
Of Sioux and Chance Harris near the Muscle
shell river. From a gentleman, who ar
rived from the White Sulphur Springs Oh
Saturday, we learn that the report, SO far as
relates to the fight and recapture Of horses is
false. The, gentleman from the Springs de-
rived his information from the Carroll mail
carrier and we credit it as true. We under

quartz worth $500 per ton at the dump.
Considerable copper and some silver ore has
