This anthology issue contains at least two stories: "Hotel Ambush!!" follows a prospector named Ed Schiefflin who discovers silver mountains near Tucson, leading to a major rush of five thousand people to the area within six months, with the discovery referred to as "Silver." "American Indians: Their Bows and Arrows" is an educational feature comparing Native American archery to English bowmaking, detailing how Indians crafted bows from yew wood and created bowstrings and backing using sinew and leather strips.

Contains 5 stories
Law of the Lash
6 pp · Western-Frontier

When the notorious outlaw Lash Moran breaks out of prison bent on revenge against young Sheriff Jeff Garrot, the lawman refuses to abandon his town despite pleas from his fiancée Jane Weston—standing alone against Moran and his hired guns becomes a test of principle that shakes the entire community. As gunfire erupts in the streets of Arrowhead, Jeff must rely on his wits and nerve to survive, while those closest to him grapple with the cost of courage.

Untitled Humor story
1 pp · Humor, Western-Frontier
Silver King
12 pp · Western-Frontier

John O'Brian and his partner Pops struggle to keep their independent silver mine afloat in 1880s Butte, Montana, but ruthless operator Snake Craig has seized control of the local bank and is squeezing the small operations toward bankruptcy. When Craig's sabotage turns deadly, O'Brian must face him down in a confrontation where nothing—and no one—is quite what it seems. A solid frontier tale of greed, loyalty, and the price of standing alone against a man willing to do anything to build an empire.

American Indians Their Bows and Arrows
2 pp · Non-Fiction, Western-Frontier

This educational feature explores how American Indians engineered remarkably effective bows and arrows using only primitive hand tools, stones, and natural materials like wood, sinew, and bone—rivaling the craftsmanship of England's legendary archers without the benefit of advanced metalwork or technology. The story traces the meticulous process from selecting and shaping wood through binding sinew fibers and crafting arrows with chipped flint heads, revealing the ingenuity required to create weapons that could bring down deer, bear, elk, and buffalo as efficiently as modern rifles. A fascinating glimpse into how the Red Man's skill and resourcefulness transformed raw nature into the tools that sustained his people.

The Ambush
4 pp · Western-Frontier

When cattle rustling plagues Red Creek, the sheriff discovers a crucial lead—but is gunned down before he can act. A letter addressed to the U.S. Marshal becomes the key to unmasking the criminals, though someone will stop at nothing to keep it from reaching its destination. As the townspeople close in on the rustlers' hideout, a shocking betrayal threatens to bury the truth forever.
