press matter sent out on the Milford
stage last Wednesday was two bars OF
silver bullion, weighing about rs pounds
consigned by j. E,seumann to Wells
Farg' 4 Co.'S Bank. San Francisco. On
returning to town Thursday morning the
driver, James Higgins, reported that in
going out one of the bars was lost be.
tween here and Panaca. As the bar had
then been missing nearly "a hours on a
road over which traffic was frequent, lit.
tie hope was entertained Of again finding
the precious parcel. A trip to Panaca
and inquiry there failed to directly dis.
close anything. The driver stated that
he first missed the bullion at Panaca
which is only IL miles distant, but that
he hardly thought 1t necessary to turn
back. and though he tried he could yet
no one to drive the mail on for him. The
bar is probably not far from town now.
