angry words on the street with this

assurance D withdrew, but had

inquired if the ladies were in. Upon
being answered in the affirmative said

to that effect, when one of the women

The VILLAGE BLACKSMITH. This pla
was well presented last evening at tn
Opera House. Mr.. f. C,Bangsas Dan
iel Drucs filled every reqa.reu,sss. III,
play opens with the blacksmith, whos'
wife, whom he devotedly loved, hac
run away, carrying with her their on
" child, a little girl, (Dorothy).-
Druce, the blacksmith, becomes miser
ly, and transfers the love he had fol
his wife to his gold. liz picks up q
little child that had been abandoned by
some one unknown to him. At this
time his boarded money is all stolen.
He regards the exchange as miracle,
and the child, whom he names Doro-
thy, is reared under the belief that she
is his child. 1t is i'll the second and
third acts that the play bscomesstrong-
est, when the blacksmith is made to
believe that Dorothy, whom he does
not know, is really his own daughter,
will be torn away from him by Sir Jas
per.Coombe, whom hs believes to be
her real father. The play, however,
ends abruptly and happily, after much
complication and ENHANCEMENT, all OF
which is made clear by the fact b=ing
made known to Daniel that Dorothy is
really his own child, whom her mother,
when she ran away with Sir Jasper,
had deserted. Mr.. Bangs by his su-
perior evolutionary power, his fine ply
sique and his natural adaptation to the
emotional nature of the play, is pecu-
liar, fitted for the rendition OF the dra-
ma. He is well supported by Miss Jo-
sic Bailey as Dorothy ,and fairly assist
ed by other characters. Another per
formance will be given this evening"
The play is worthy of a good house.

He was tall. He was angular. He WAS so bo'.y that he did not resent our mild impuiation that perhaps he might be n graveyard in disguise. He came into the office without knocking. without noticing the ab- sence of q door knob, and he shut the door behind him, something which ] the people all do here in Phoenix. He was TO buffer He was one of the dcad-in earnest men, who are never really earnestly dead He came to our desk with q (. cutter and shooter air, that made us feel very i'll and in ned of fresh air.
 He said. '' L. ok h'yar, Mir Man I drive sixteen team, I do. I'm goin to this yere Superstilious hill, I am. read your writin las night, all about this yere waller belly, who got cut l,y them leetle injuns, an about the $6O0 he coopcd."
 We mildly insisted that he-did not bring in any $500, and he said with a voice that made our right boot fall of, '' 1 know he lost the dust, but h-l he wasn't no fighter. I am go ing right up thar. I've licked big ger Injuns than them thar. Now, I want you to 20 on an tell me all about this yere thing, all whar this yerc gTeaser lives"
 We insisted that it would be a breach of confidence on our part to betray the name of the Mexican or to give the exact locality of the gulch where the gold was found. We said the parties desired to keep it secret Yr little while as they were going out there again. He shifted Lis chair around closer to Us. and with an air as gentle as a lamb, and low conciliatory coaxing tone, and pushing his big felt hat over on the back of his head, he said, {" Look h'yar, stranger, you're no galoot, now you tell me the racket. and 1 won't give il aw ", nor nothin' an' I'll go cut thar an you'll be Tn with me-
 We said that we would be only too happy to comply with the request, but # was impossible. He was bout to make further propositions, when nr handsome typo came in bowling for copy" Our visitor looked ai us. then at the typo, and like all visitors who have seen him, he went slowly out past our patent door, vith solemn mien and scared step, There came fainliy tu OUT ears iia sound Of an earnest, thoughtful voice. evidently com muDinc with H. owner. and which c-Bveyed 10 our 7s- lievpd mind, .- Just my Id luck I Eever w2s 10 faIksr Them pn per chaps has lots of hook laruin' but I just iLirk ilt3he all linI straight from -.

WONDERFUL WEALTH.
Startling Strike Near Su- perstitiouS M ountain.

Some excitement is being created
 among the Mexican population O
 Phoenix by the story of a Mexican
 who arrived last eTening from the
 Reno mountains. He came into towr
 under cover of darkness, as he was
 nearly nak ed. His hands and feel
 were torn and bloody, and his face
 was ga~hed in a fearful manner His
 story was told with the air of man
 who had been terribly frightened and had not recovered. With g com
 panion he started out prospecting
 about month ago, going up Salt
 River. They left the river when op-
 posite the Super tiiious Mountain
 Their prespe' ting began at this
 point. While climbing up the noun
 tain, in little gully, through black
 sand, and down which q large stream of water had evidently passed years ago. they were astonished to find that in this sand were large quanti- ties of fine gold In some places the sand was only about half an inch deep over the granite. The gold in pieces the size of bean and smaller, was found in the little Assures in the face of the bedrock. Very little washing was necessary, and they found little spring of wa ter which furnished them what they needed. They obtained, they think, about $500 worth in half days | work. About 2 o'clock in the after noon, they were surprised to see an Indian woman come to the top of lhe Gulch above the spring and start to come down. Upon seeing them she ran back over the hill. In Jess than ten minutes, they were sur rounded by fifty or sixty savages. The Indians were very small and seemed to be of different nation, han they had ever seen Tn Arizona The Mcxicans were not armed except with knives, and the survivor says hey were almo.t instantly caught yi,h larlats- The Indians lools them IT fhc mountain and pm them in a ave They tor'nred and killed lii -oinpanion and his fate would have 'e,a ti., same but for his escape.
