Waterloo, April 27.--Wiilie Murphy,

alleged that the boy was KIDNAPPED.
The story tod by the boys relatives is
that on Wednesday evening, about 10
O'clock, young Murphy stepped out onto
the porch a; his home. AS he opened
the door the sound OF wheels was heard.
and few moments later cry or ex-
ciamation as of surprise was heard. The
boy did not return and the parents be-
came alarmed. AS the time passed
their fears grew and they Immediately
Instituted search. Thursday they tel
ephoned Marshal Wetlaufer of the af-
fair and expressed a conviction that the
con had been taken forcibly by whoever
drove past. He has always been a good
boy and remained at home, and as there
was no estrangement between the par
ents and son the act s thought TO be in
voluntary on his part. He took nothing
with him-no clothes or any of his pos
sessions. AS yet nothing has been
heard of the boys Whereabouts.

where the strike has been made is of
such vast proportions that no one ex-
cept an expert can realize Its true inn
portance. While the general average of
the ore from the present development
can only be given at an average of $50
per ton, the rich pockets which occur in
the ore body may put the mine at a
much higher figure with further devel-
opment. Some pockets have been dis
covered. in which the ore is worth $780,
