He left the mine and is now stopping at Harshaw.
 In our camp there have been num- Der of new locations near the San An tonic Pass but no one seems to know what they have got. Samples have been sent to Denver and We all eager ly await returns.

by the road side. and pointing n pistol
at the head of the stroller. made him
give up the girl and make tracks" for

fired four shots at the desperate. The
