Arrangements havo been made to
take ont 100 tons OF orc daily from
tho California and Consolidated Vir-
ginia mines. thus giving n combined
monthly yield of s3,00O. 600, which
Gun be easily increased to 81 900 900,
If found desirable. Tho idea is not
to overstock the silver market.
In working up matters previous to
the arrest Of the men Thompson,
Wilson and Longloy, supposed to
have been connected with the Idaho
stage robbery of 1868, tho detectives
have discovered that for several
years pnst n gang, of whichtheso men
are evidently members, has been
engaged in n series OF bullion rob-
berries, involving many mines on the
Comstock. Tue method OF opera
tion Inns not rs yet been developed, -,
but will DO as soon rs somo of tho
operators now in custody have u
chance to explain in tho courts. The
gang, which is tho perpetrators OF
tho famous IngralInm organization,
first commenced business in tho
stage robbing line, but MS bars of
bullion took the place OF tho custo-
mary coin and gold dust, tho robbers
found it exceedingly difficult to
carry of and divide their spoils,
besides being very heavy and
cnmborsome to carry of. The
bars were always stamped with
the brand OF the mine and they would
toll the whole story at sight. To
prevent this tho bars wero chopped
at tho first favorable opportunity,
melted and run into bars or blocks,
but tho nero fact OF bullion being
without stamp was suspicious, so
much 40 that the disposal OF second
lot would 10 noXt TO impossible, with
out tho risk Of being takon. In fol.
lowing mp Thompson, who prOfesscil
to know all about the Idaho plant,
both Bailey and Robertson, tho do
tcctiyes, ran across, in tho vicinity OF
lsono aud Truckoo several placos
where bars Of bullion had boon
chopped up and melted down into
different shape. The work lad owl
IDENTITY been very clumsily done, and
tho plncos selected wcro generally
some old mill or wood choppers
shanty la tho mountains. This bullion.
as rule, was stolen from tho mines.
