YOUNG WILD WEST AT "FORBIDDEN PASS"
AND
How Arietta Paid the Toll
By AN OLD SCOUT.
CHAPTER I.
THE ARRIVAL AT BIG BONANZA.
It was just about five o'clock in the afternoon of a cool day in autumn when Young Wild West and his friends rode into a little mining camp called Big Bonanza, which was situated in the heart of the range, known as the Silver Bend Mountains, Nevada.
It was the first signs of anything like civilization that the party had seen in two days, and though there were but half a dozen little shanties in it, the sight of it was a welcome one.
Young Wild West was beyond a doubt the greatest and best known of the heroes of the Wild West, and though but a boy in years, he had made a name for himself that many an elder person would have been proud to own.
