a BIG MINING SCHEME

DEADwOoD, Oak, July 20.-The biggest
mining scheme ever projected in the Black
Hills has been consummated here. 1t in
wolves the transfer of thirty claims in the
gold belt to syndicate Of American and
French capitalists These claims are close
to the great Homestake, and are said by
good judges to be equal in extent and rich
ness of ore to the Homestake mines. the
owners have never been able to de
velop the property, chiefly because all
water rights were controlled by the Home
stake company Recently the others be
gan moving towards a transfer to some
one who could develope the mine, and to
this end they bonded the mines for thirty
days 10 syndicate in the sum of $4,000
and the syndicate sent on an expert to
make an examination and tests.
1t is an open secret that his opinion was
favorable and there are no doubts that the
deal will be closed. Exact particulars can
not be learned, but it Is certain the plan
contemplates the building of railroad
from the mines out to the valley, where
water can be had, and the erection of a
1000-stamp mill at some desirable point
for the reduction of the ore.

A FUGITIVE IN FRANCE.
Probable Discovery Of the Murderer Of
Joseph SchWab, of Iowa.


WATERLOO, Ia, July 2O.-Joseph
Schwab, well known in this city, where
for several years he resided departed from
his home in Manchester, Ia, for Alsace,
Germany, on the Goth Of last September,
and has not since been heard from. His
silence was remarked by friend here, but it
was thought possible his failure to make
his whereabouts known was only the re-
suit of neglect; but as days grew into weeks
and weeks into months his family
became alarmed and, through a third
party, instituted inquiries. The steam
ship company from which his ticket was
purchased reported that person bearing
Joseph Schwab's name had crossed the
ocean in one of their vessels but aside
from this no trace could be found. His
brother in Alsace had looked for him in
vain.
The mystery became impenetratable,
and the missing mans friends gave up all
hope of ever hearing of him; but it now
appears that on the 29th of September,
three days after Schwab left Manchester,
the body of a murdered man was found in
Chicago and taken TO the morgue. No one
appearing to claim the remains they were
photographed and placed in vault.
Not long ago the Odd Fellows Of Water
loo instituted search for the missing
brother The picture of the dead man in
Chicago reSembled their man so much
that they believed it was he. Then came
the search for the murderer. Every clew
was followed, and finally a man was ar
rested in France and charged with the
crime. In the prisoners possession was
found return ticket bearing Joseph
Schwab's name: also SchwaD's watch, a
finger ring and some of his clothes.
This, of course, ended the work of the
Waterloo searchers, as that was their
mans name and part of the property
found on the prisoner belonged to him. 1t
was also positively shown that the accused
man was not Joseph Schwab.
Here the story ends rather abruptly, no
one apparently knowing or having heard
further from the old country nor how
Schwab's property came to be identified.
Whether the prisoner is still in custody
has not been developed, nor have his
friends here present means of knowing
what disposition was made of the articles
Of jewelry recovered.
The mysterious disappearance Of Schwab
and the alleged finding of his ticket and
personal property in the possession OF an
other man would appear TO leave little
doubt that he had met with foul play at
the hands of the prisoner or an accom-
plice 1t is said that Schwab had consid-
erable money when he left home,
and it is thought probable
that on reaching Chicago he
fell in with sharpers. who murdered him
to secure whatever money and other valu-
ables be had in his possession. The in
vestigation is being pushed by Mrs.
Schwab, who is now in Waterloo. The
case Is one of the most mysterious and sen
satioual ever developed III Iowa, and bids
fair TO remain forever mystery.
