hundred and forty thousand dollars
worth OF gold bullion was stolen from
the Selby Smelling Works at Vallejo
during the night.
Access to the strong-roOm, where
the bullion was stored. was secured
through tunnel which the thieves
had bored from the edge o: San
Francisco Bay to the building. some
distance from the waters edge.
1t is supposed that the thieves took
their plumber away by boat.
The selby smnlter is the largest on
the Pacific coast. Ores are sent there
from all parts OF the western slope
for reduction. The works are located
near the bay shore. about thirty
miles from San Francisco. and
through the clever device OF tunnel
ling through the sand the robbers Sc
cured a princely sum.
The loss was not discovered until
after the works resumed operations
to-day.

company. stated that the thieves cx-

four hundred feet long, from a point
