uncovered. None Of the mines have at

II is thought By the people at the
lower end of the county, who have been
IN the vicinity OF the mouth Of the Grand
Canyon OF the Colorado, that there are
large quantities OF gold in the canyon
somewhere, as from time to time gold has
been found that has been washed down
TO the mouth Of the Canyon. We under
stand that there will be an effort made
sometime this Fall. when the water is
low, by certain parties, to attempt max
ing trip through the canyons by boat.
This has never been accomplished but
once, and that was by Capt. Powell.
The bold, bad warriors who were seek
ing blood at Condor Canyon q couple Of
weeks ago, and had an examination before
Justice Young, was turned loose by that
officer last Saturday afternoon, it being
his opinion that none OF the bad men were
worth hanging. Then, again, the county
was too poor to purchase ropes for that
purpose. Lincoln county cannot afford
TO do anything, except pay the county
officials their salaries.
The old-timers are gradually dropping

Is known as the miners consumption.
His body was placed to rest in the Cath

leaves wife and four children to mourn
his death.
