The prisoners had occupied an adobe
house on the outskirts of the city which
was searched and fastened the guilt
upon the men most convincingly.
mong the material found in the house
was large quantity of gold and silver,
enough to manufacture several hundred
dollars worth of the spurious coins
which we're made OF silver al d then
lightly coated With gold. A blow pipe,
furnace, and all the tools necessary for
the manufecsure OF the coins we're
found with the exception OF the moulds
which are believed TO be hidden and for
which the officers are still searching.

Henry Hobach, young man about &c

yesterday, which will, in ell probability
deprive him OF his life. Mr.. Hobsot
was employed in the Mohawk mine,

was operating is dou BILE compartment,
and contains three levels, the one, two.
