MURDEROUS MINERS.
THEY KILL EIGHT MEXICAN
PFOSPECTORS.
The Victims Seeking ,o A,.,o,+
Abandoned Nine In Northern
Wyoming by the Aid Of I'm Old
Map When Murdered

The discovery Of tho bodies of eight
Mexican prospectors at the mouth of the
abandoned San Salvador mine in the
northern part of Wyoming, has brought
to light romantic story rivalling all the
tales about the seekers for Captain Kidd's
buried treasures. Miguel Martinez, at
the head Of party of his countrymen,
was here last fall for two days. He con-
tided to Mexican gambler here that
they were in arch of an abandoned
gold mine, which they believed to be rich
in metal, and were going to develop it.
Martinez carried chart traced on parch
ment, which he said was 200 years old
| was made 10y an ancestor of his in the
I'th century. The chart had been
lost for years, but recently turned up.
ana at once party was organized. The
story that has run through the family Of
generations, was that Martinez the elder
was at the head of band of Spanish
gold hunters who were working rich
mine somewhere in this part of the coun-
try. The miners quarrelled and finally
fought, and their division resulted in tho
abandonment Of the mine, though it was
very rich. Martinez was wounded and
died on his way home, with his blood
traced chart, which was to be a
rich legacy to his children. The faithful
friend delivered tho documents, which
were soon a:tcrward lost, and only
recently turned up.
Martinez, the deaccndent, was told of
mines up north that mineralogists had
declared were worked by Spaniards hun
dreds of years ago. His party was not
heard from again until to-day, when a
hunter named Keller reported that he
had discovered the bodies Of all the Mexi
cans, who had been shot and were somo-
what cut up by Knives, showing hand
to hand struggle had taken place. There
was evidence that tho victorious party
had lost three or four men and they had
made hasty departure. carrying their
dead and wounded with them
" IdU Oul pI1Stu tuo uuuLef lnOSU was
to find the mine had recently beon worked.
1t is not known that a pickaxe had
touched it since two men starved to
death there in 1877. There is reason to
think that the San Salvador was not tho
mine described on their chart and that
the mr1rderers have gone off to locate the
ancient Gline. The fact that the A,exi-
cans horses and tools were taken, and
that their jewelry and some money were
not removed from their bodies, seems to
provo this. Keller says there was every
indication that the San Salvador mine
was paying, and believes that the mine
sought for by tho Mexicans is not far
from the other, and is known to tho par
ty who were at work. No ono here knows
who the murdorous prospectors are,
and as the REGION in which tho events oc-
cured is almost inaccessible, it Is not like
y anyone will start to work the old mine
and bury the Mexicans before spring.

SAN FRANCISCO.

At this property all the headers are in
ore. Yesterdays samples were: East
500, 178 ounces silver; west $50, 55 ounces
silves and $12 in gold.
The superintendent says that the rea-
son that shipments from the gold chute
are not made more frequently, is that the
gold ore is very crumbly and fragile, while
the gangue is very hard. The blasting
necessary from breaking it down skaters
the gold bearing ore to small bits, con-
sequently the work Of sorting it is not
only very slow, but laborious. The ore
left in the gangue is not lost, but will lay
on the ore dump until their own mill
works it. When it is considered that the
charges on shipped ore are $50 per ton
from the ore bins to returns, not lnclud-
ing the sorting, it will be seen that only
tho very best of the gold ore can stand
the charges. Thirty dollar gold ore is
considered bonanzas in most mines in
ii ontana.
In warm weather the company have
appliances for washing down the ore, but
if applied now the water freezes, and it
is necessary to continue in the present
manner until warm weather sets in, when
they can operate with much more rapid
ity.
We are informed by Mr.. Smith that the
building Of their mill will be commenced
soon as the weather will permit, and
whether a smelter or mill will be put up
is yet to be determined by the results
from the 550-foot level.
From present indications it is plain to
see that the Frisco will be largely cor
troled by Montana men, there having
been oyer 100000 shares sold in Butte
and Helena since the discovery of gold
became known. It is encouraging to
note that the Montanians do not intend
to let another Granite Mountain or Bi-
Metallic go to St. Louis entirely.
