WAS 1T STOLEN?

Several days ago young man took
a piece of quartz rich in copper ore to
G. d. Taylor, to ascertain it's value or
dispose oft. Mr.. Taylor asked him
to leave it for a day, that he might
examine it. The man has failed to
call for it, and the belief is growing
that he never will call for it. He
claimed to have found it in the hills
around Mankato, but that kind Of
quartz is unknown hereabouts. The
sample looks very much like those ex-
hibited in museums or held in collec.
tions, and some people who have
seen it have depressed the opinion
that it was stolen from some private
or public collection. If the man ever
calls for it, Mr.. Taylor will question
the young man, who is stranger to
him, about the exact spot where he
claims to have found it.
