employed at the Silver Bell mine were held up and robbed of $2eO while they were on their way to Tucson last week. The men were attacked with knives and a severe fight ensued, in which the robbers got the money which the Mex jeans had and left them in demoral- ized condition -Solomonville Bulletin.
 The telegraph dispatches from Mex ico announce that c. P. Huntington has purchased the famous Iron mOun- tain at Durango for $sOO,OO0 and that he will erect a series of furnaces and rolling mill at its base. This famous deposit has never been utilized tO any extent, although it has been known for three centuries. At one time or an other in the mist of the ages, wander Ing star dropped g bunch of iron weigh ing many millions of tons. which lit , upon a fertile plain in northern Mex leo, and has remained half buried in the soil. The surface is covered with iron gravel, if such term may be used--round particles. almost pure, of various shapes and weight, resembling the gravel that Is found In the pits of the north. Underneath this surface covering is an immense mass of metal that appears to have been molten at one time, and resembles meteorite. A furnace was erected there several years ago. but lack of transportation faculties has prevented the deposit from being generally utilized, and mineralogists say it is not suitable for making ordinary commercial iron with out mixture with other ores. Mir. Huntington, who owns the railway and controls the transportation facili- lies, will be able to get more out of the iron mountain than any one else. He had been trying to purchase 1t for several years, but its owners held it at about the price 1t would be worth if it
