on the snow. Gerrans arrived in town

GOLD FINp.-The Arizona mail rider,
Bronco Bill" brought to Phoebe the
news that John Huess had struck fabu
lous rich gold mine ten miles below ID
Dorado Canyon, and that the people were
rushing down there from the Canyon, also
from Gold Basin, Arizona. There has
been gold found down in that country fol
years by the prospectors, but nothing o.
any value. The chunks of gold that
is said to have been exhibited to the PEG
pie of the Canyon, and set them all wild
we fear are too big to amount to much.
Distance leads enchantment.
