A YOUTHFUL DESPERATE.
Albert Baybrook of Stratford Carving
Way to Criminal Fame.

Albert Baybrook of Stratford Carving a
Way to Criminal Fame.
Albert Baybrook, one of the youthful
prisoners who escaped from the Newfane
Jail by saving through their cell door
hinges and was recaptured at his fathers
home in Stratford, is mapping out
career that would furnish good material
for dime novel author.
June ), 1898, Baybrook broke into the
postoflice and store Of w. NJ. Brown of
West Wardsboro. The thief secured
SIP in postofiice funds, S3S from the
store, gold watch and several cheaper
watches. After the robbery he disap-
peared and all trace of him was lost un-
til G. w. Eager, a resident of Wardsboro,
located the youth in an Out-ofthe-way
settlement in the town of White Creek,
n. Y, known as "Nigger Hill" Eager
induced Baybrook to go to Hooslck Falls
with him under the pretence of trading
horses. Upon arriving at the Falls,
Eager persuaded him to go to Wards
boro, where Officers Godfrey and Nash
arrested the boy on suspicion and he
was committed to Jail. The watch was
found upon his person, but he insisted
that he got 1t in trade.
The postoffice authorities were notified
and Inspector Willis was sent there. He
talked with Baybrook and July 20, 1898,
the inspector with the deputy sheriffs
and the prisoner drove to Arlington, and
accompanied by Sheriff Wilson went to
Cambridge, n. Y, where most of the
stolen articles were secured. The in
spector had then enough evidence to
convict Baybrook.
Officers Nash and Godfrey with In
spector Willis and the prisoner decided
to return to Wardsboro by rail. The
trip was quietly made as far as Eagle
Bridge, n. Y, where the youth took
desperate chances and jumping through
an open window of the moving train
escaped.
Only three days after gaining his
liberty he stole horse and buggy from
John Lawton of Cambridge, N. Y, and
started for his fathers house in STRAIT
ford On the way he stole a bicycle.
July q he was recaptured at his
fathers home in Stratford. He made
desperate resistance, using loaded re-
volver, wounding one of the officers and
setting fire to the coat of another
Bayb was taken to Newfane Jail
in August, 1898, and at the recent session
of county court he was found guilty and
sentenced to two years in the house of
correction. 1t was then that in company
with three other prisoners, he for the
second time evaded the clutches of the
law. Believing that he would go direct
ly to his home in Stratford as he did be-
fore the officers had little difficulty In
tracing the youthful deperado. Threats
were used on the parents and Baybrook
was given up.
Two days before his surrender he had
reached the paternal mansion and after
he had procured something to eat he
dug his way through the underplnning
of the barn and up into the hay, after
the style of Frank Almy, the murderer.
Here he remained in hiding, watching
the officers come and go in the hope that
he could remain concealed until the
coast was clear enough to allow him to
escape out of the country. The pressure
brought to bear upon his parents, how
ever, ruined his scheme.

One of the Promoters of the Hunts

Captain L. G. Miller dropped in from
Denver yesterday and is registered at
the knutsford. He comes in to look
after some of his mining interests and
expects TO remain several days.
Captain Miller is working in the same
harness with Peter McCOurt and it is
through him that the Huntsman cop
per group in the La Sal district was
bonded from Professor Tibbals and
others for $4,000.
Development is being pushed along
rapidly at the property and the conf
pany is getting in shape to do some ex-
tensiVe work.
Some shipments of ore will be sent
out right away and it is not improbable
that the company will take steps to-
wards the erection of its own reduction
works a no distant date.
The Huntsman Copper stock has been
selling readily on the New York eX-
change at 10 cents share during the
past week which places a value on the
property of $3.50, 00O.'
Captain Miller is after some other
good Utah properties and it is limited
that he has his fish line out for one

some new propositions in the La SAILS.

WORKING COLORADO BARS.
w. F Mitchell Returns to Purchase
Supplies

After an absence of several months,
W. F. Mitchell, the well known mining
man who is operating on the Colorado
river bars in the southern part of the
state, where he Is making a search for
gold. has returned to the city.
Mr.. Mitchell is working an Acme
amalgamator about seventy-five miles
below California Bar, where he has
taken up a large tract of ground for a
local syndicate. and which is very pro-
ductive of flour gold.
Since Mr.. Mitchell left Salt Lake last
spring his syndicate has gone to great
expense in getting the necessary ma
chinery and supplies into the country,
which is about the most isolated por-
tion of the state. The nearest post
office is Escalante. over 100 miles dis
tant. The trail along the precipitous
banks of the Colorado is almost i'm
passable and extremely dangerous to
follow.
Mr. Mitchell is one of the pioneers
of the San Juan country. and is the
first TO demonstrate that the Colorado
river is navigable in Utah. and. there
fore. exempted from location by people
living along its banks. He built a
small steamboat a California Bar, to
be used in carrying supplies down the
river 10 the mines. The boat was COM
pleTed the first of the month. and made
q successful voyage down the river to
a point about seven miles above the
mine, with the craft loaded with sup
plies valued at about s., 600. The boat
tied up at this landing on the evening
of the second of July. During the night,
when all hands were slumbering, the
boat sprung a leak and went TO the
bottom of the stream. It was raised
about ten days after, repaired. and is
now ready to float again. The supplies
were lost, and Mr.. Mitchell came to Salt
Lake for the purpose of sending down
another lot to keep himself and men in
eaIables for several months to come.
Mr.. Mitchell made one days run be-
fore he left. and got some very graft
tying results. He brought a small
cleanup along with him, which will go
quite way towards paying for the
expenses of his trip.
The syndicate backing Mr.. Mitchell is
preparing to inaugurate some extensive
work during the present year. and have
plans well under way towards the in
PRODUCTION of a larger dredge.

THE NEW SHELTER.
Manager Neill of the q. S. Company
Tells What 1t Will Be.

General Manager Neill of the United
States company, was seen yesterday
and asked if there were any further de-
tails in connection with the company s
new smelter project, which could be
given to the public. In reply Mr.. Neill
said that the smelter would be built:
it would be erected on the site owned
by the company near Bingham juno
ton and would have a daily capacity
of 500 tons of crude ore; ii would be
an upto-date plant in every particu-
lar, but it would not be patterned after
the Highland Boy smelter at all, unless
il might be in the refining process Mr.
Neill said he could tell nothing about
the cost of the plant until the details
had been worked out, and that would
not be undertaken until the ground had
been cleared of old buildings, etc. sur
VeYed and otherwise prepared for the
buildings which would be erected
When everything is mapped out the
machinery will be ordered, but Mr.
Neill has no thought that the plant
can or Will be built before next spring.

renee Will go to work in the mine at
once and get it in shape for inspection
by Colorado capitalists, who are ready
to come out and examine it just as
soon as the tunnels, drifts and other
workings can be got into.
The property has been idle for four
years or more, and Mr.. Street SAYS
quite a little cleaning out will have to
be done, but he hopes to have it in fair
shape for inspection in about ten days
Should the Colorado contingent
which has the first call on the propo-
sition, fail to take hold, Mr.. Street says
other parties are ready to step in and
take whack at ii, so the ground will
either be sold outright or worked under
his lease within the next few weeks.
