ROBBERS MAKE RICH HAUL.
GOLD BULLION WORTH s2SO.OOO STOLEN
FROM THE SELBY SHELTER
AT VALLEJO. CAL.

Vallejo CAL Aug 6-GoId bullion valued at
$3.50 900 was stolen last night from the Selby
Smelling Works here. The robbers evidently
had been working the job for two or three
months. They had dug tunnel from outside
the house. beginning with a shaft about three
feet deep. Thence they worked underneath the
vault. and, striking upward, bored holes in the
floor of the strongroom Part of the holes were
bored two months ago, IL is thought, and the
last one was completed in the night. Through
that hole they took the gold bricks and carried
them to a bank the mouth of the tun-
nel east of the works where they were evil
IDENTIFY placed in a boat. In their hurry, the
robbers left two of the bricks on the bank
In the night one of the workmen reported to
his fellows that he heard noise in the strong
room and declared it was ghost. The others
ridiculed him for his superstition, but no IN
vestigation made
The entrance to the tunnel was covered with
frame. over which the employees of the smelter
passed repeatedly every day. but no one seemed
TO notice anything out of the way. Sher1f Veale
of Contra Costa County, his deputies, ana the
chief of police OF Vellejo as well as the ponce
of San Francisco and all the bay cities, are at
work on the case, but so far there Is not the
slightest clew to the robbers. The work was
done by skilled men. and their elaborate plans
were carried out without q hitch They got all
the bullion in the vault. IeaNlHB oiiiS
the two bricks dropped on the shore. Only one
days accumulation of refined gold was kept at
the works Yesterdays run was unusually heavy.
and the gold was to have been shipped back 10
San Francisco to-day.
The tunnel the robbers excavated was about
three feet in diameter and gave them plenty
of room in which to work. 1t is supposed that
the dirt from the tunnel was taken out at night
and dropped into the bay. The shaft was
started close 10 the wall and was sunk below
the foundation Thence It only a short dis
tance under the floor of the vault. 1t is thought
the men who committed the robbery took their
plunder away in a launch and made directly
for San Francisco. There plenty of places.
however to which they may have gone
The Selby smelter is the largest on the Pa
cifc Coast Ores are sent there from all parts
of the western slope for reduction. The works
are near the bay shore. about thirty miles from
San Francisco. The gold is kept in steel lined
strongroom. Bullion Is sent every day from
SeIby's San Francisco office 10 the smelter by
special boat. The boat arrived at the works
as usual to-day with the consignment OF bullion
and the strongroom opened. so that 1t could
he stored Then Il was that the smelter ofh-
cials discovered their loss.
