BILLIARD ROOM ROBBED
A Daring Burglary With bat Little PIunde
Secured

A Daring Burglary With bat Little PIunder
Secured
Between 1880 and II :45 on Wednes-
day night the billiard parlors and cigar
stand kept by John B. Albers at No. $40
South Spring street were burglarzed in a
daring manner. Tile front of the premises
in question is fitted up as cigar stand
while the rear of the store room is occupied
by billiard and pool tables and a club
room AS is customary, the entire front
of the cigar stand is at night simply en-
closed with wire screening. being open to
view from the sidewalk. On counter in
the stand sits an old cast iron nicHel-in-the-
slot machine, which had been dismantled
and was used by Albers as a cash drawer
and place of deposit for sundry valuables
Aibers went home shortly after o'clock
in the evening, leaving III charge of the
place party who had been hanging
around for some time, who goes by the
name of Zeb. The latter kept tho house
open until l215, when he locked up and
went to restaurant for lunch, intending
to return later and scrub out the place.
when he did get back, half an hour later,
ON entering the billiard room he saw that
some one mad been there during his abb
sence. From n rear window the screen
had been cut and the sash forced. Passing
through the billiard room the thief went
direct to the cigar stand in front, secured
the old iron cash box and carried it in and
set it on billiard table. A box behind the
counter of the stand was opened and a
hammer secured.
With this instrument the cast-iron drawer
was shattered and the contents exposed.
No money was contained, in it but the
thief secured four watches, one gold case,
one filled and two silver. An old ring with
stone setting also disappeared. When
Ieb returned the burglars had disappeared,
and only the broken box and the mutilated
given to the police and the detectives put
ON the scent. Before morning they had
arrested two young fellows who frequent
the place. who were held until . o'clock in
the afternoon and released, having shown
their innocence. The deed was well-tiped
and evidently perpetrated by some one
familiar with tho place and the habits of
the proprietor and employees.

TIME TO BUY SILVER MINES.

The Inter Mountain Mining Review says
that d. B. Huntly, mining authority Of
high reputation throughout Idaho, Arizona
and California, has carefully scrutinized the
silver mining situation, and this is his con-
clusion:
'Now is the time to buy up silver mines,
tie them up and salt them down. For any
one who has money to spare, the investment
in silver propositions is the very best thing
one can engage in. Silyeris about as low as
it viii ever be as bullion, and any marked
change will be for the better. In the hrst
place It cannot be mined at as low figure
as it has been in the past; for one reason, be-
cause the big deposits of rich silver ores are
not found near the surface as IN the past.
Then again, the modern appliances and IN
yertions do not cut so much Of figure IN
the cost of smelling silver ores as one natur-
ally supposes. The smelling OF silver ores
is as old as the hills themselves, and the i'm
provements are not so great as the industry
itself. 1t is mostly matter OF deep mining
toe, nowadays, and deep mining adds to the
cost OF production. Bot that IS not all.
The use Of silver In the arts and manutaet'
nres increases with civilization, and further
more, as the population and civilization OF
Asia increases so will the demand for the
white metal increase. The United States
will have to supply the demand; for while

mines, it will be many years yet ere they
will be in position to make an output TO
compete with the mines of North America
All OF these conditions are outside OF the
free coinage issue. II the free coinage OF
silver is granted, it will be that much more
of a step toward the rehabilitation Of the
silver industry, and for my part. if had to
have a property that at the present time was
uuproduetiye, / would prefer to have a
silver property. At no distant day 1t is
bound to be paying proposition. After all
this turmoil Is ended and the national
financiers can see where they are at, it viii
be concluded that the reconciliation OF
silver is the only road TO a sound money
system, and steps will be taken to get there.
Then will come the chance Of the owner Of
| silver mines. There is no use talking, 1t
must be one OF the moneys Of ultimate re-
demption, and it will be placed on a parity
with gold The United States cannot have
prosperity without bimetallism, and BIZ
metalism We must have. Therefore, | say
