This issue of *Beadle's Half-Dime Library* presents "Arizona Giant George; or, The Boyees of Sardine-Box City" by "Buckskin Sam" (Maj. Sam S. Hall), a Western serial. The narrative concerns the Arizona mining town of Sardine-Box City, where the scout Giant George aids Lena Lawrence in recovering her murdered brother's hidden gold. Her brother was killed by the outlaw El Capitan (whose real name is Willoughby), a former schoolmate seeking revenge over a romantic rivalry. After Lena arrives with the chart to her brother's treasure, Giant George battles the bandit gang known as the Panthers, saves Lena from capture, and helps defeat the outlaws. A second plot involving Apache raids, Lena's kidnapping, and the machinations of a murderous cousin unfolds alongside the discovery of additional ore deposits. The story features supporting characters including Marm Holbrook, the Nugget Hotel proprietress, and Arizona Jack, a newcomer whom Giant George adopts as a partner. The narrative combines mining-camp adventures with frontier action sequences.
