Sergeant Charles E. Aldrich, of the city
detective department., has returned from q
six weeks chase after the elusive William
b. Tascott, who in February last murdered
millionaire Smell. Detective Haines, who
went with Aldrich, is also on his way back.
Both men return under orders, and when
Haines shall have added his report to that
which Aldrich gave Inspector Bonfield yes

dropped the case. There are other city
officers working on IL now, and Inspector
Bonfeld. who has had charge of the case,
is satisfied that it is useless to try further,

new ciav. Aldrich has travelled over ,0j9
miles during Il six weeks, and chased
down everything tangible.
"Where do you think TascUtt is now?"
was asked of Sergt. Aldrch.
"The most probable theory is that he
went direct from st. Paul TO Vancouver,
and then by steamer to China or Australia"
He was in st. Paul, them"
Not shadow Of doubt about that.
But there the trail ends. Haines and i had
plenty OF steers to work ON, but they devel-
oped nothing. / don't see how Tascott
could have remained in the Northwest and

John Homer, Of the Homer mine,

let through his brain.
Tho discoverer of the Standard mine
in California was swallowed up by an

"Doughnut Bill, n"Old Eureka, and
"Nine-Mile Clarke" died literally in
their shoes, being killed in saloon
scuffies.
William Fairweather, who brought
to light the hidden treasures of Alger
Gulch, came to his death by drinking
and riotous living.
The owner of the Homestake mine
became highwayman one day he at
tackled mail coach, but the attend
ants shot him dead.
Montana Plummer, who discovered
one of the richest mines in the world,
and was Sheriff for q time, died on the
gallows.
George H. Fryer, from whom the
Fryer Hill mine had its name, commit
ted suicide in Denver. Two years
before his death he possessed $1,000
900; the expenses OF his funeral had to
be paid by the authorities.
There is a singular superstition in
the mining districts of America that
the discoveries of hidden treasures in
the bowels of the earth are sure to
meet with violent end. The original
proprietors of close on forty successful
mines have been accounted for in this
way. Twelve were shot, three were
ingulfed, while the rest disappeared in
the cites of Dakota and New Mexico,
and were never heard of after ward.
