CHAPTER XX.-CoNTINuRD.
There was brief silence. broken at
last by Sprague, who asked:
HAS he escaped?''
Sturgis hesitated.
"That depends upon how we look at
it, he said. gravely, at length; ''he has
paid the penalty of his crimes
What do you mean?"
"He is Dead answered the reporter.
Dead? But tell you saw him
81 know: but he has died since"
'tSuicide?''
mo-" the reporters voice sank to a
whisper; murder
"Murder?" repeated the artist, star
tied. But how do you know that?'''
"This lump of lead tells the story
said Sturgis, holding up the shapeless
piece of metal which he had taken out
of the vat.
"What is it? A bullet?"
"Yes; the bullet which Chatham car
ried in his arm from the time that he
was wounded by Arbogast, the bullet
which has enabled me to trace him step
by step, from his flight from the over
turned cab to DR.. Thurston' S and finally
to his death in this very room; the
bullet whose peculiar shape is record
ed in this shadow picture taken by
Thurston by means of the Roentgen
rays"
So saying, he handed Sprague the
photograph. But the artist had ceased
to listen.
In this very room?" he mnseu aloud,
looking about him with awe.
Eyes. The story is simple enough.
The man whose instrument Chatham
was is not one who would care to be,
numbered up with tools, which become
positively dangerous as soon as they
cease TO be useful. This man. totally
unhampered by pity gratitude or fear,
determined to destroy the accountant,
whose discovery might have ilnperiled
his own welfare. What mattered a
human life or two, when weighed
against the possible loss OF his own
life or liberty. or of his high social
standing and his enormous wealth; for
this man is both renowned and rich,
and he appears TO have brought whole
sale murder to a science.
do you mean to say that wholesale
murder can be INDUCED in with inn
punity in city like New York, at the
end of the nineteenth century," asked
Sprague, aghast.
"Yes: when it is done in the system
attic and scientific manner that has been
employed here. For this murderer is
the most remarkable criminal of mod
ern times. He has not been satisfied
with killing his victims; he has sue
ceeded in completely wiping them out
of existence. Criminals have often at
tempted to destroy the bodies of their
victims, but they have never before sue
ceeded as this man has. Heis a chem
list of remarkable talent. and he has
discovered compound in which bone
as we'll as human tissue is rapidly and
totally dissolved. There it is in yon-
der tank. See how completely the
liquid has destroyed the bone handle
of this knife \
Sturgis, after showing the damaged
knife to his companion. resumed his
whiting upon the cover OF the box
on which the artist was seated.
"Chatham's body has been dissolved
in that tank within a very short time
1t has entirely disappeared; this fiat
tened bullet alone is left. lead being
one OF the few substances which are
not soluble in tie contents of the
tank. Fortunately he overlooked thai

A special telegram to The Republican fom Tucson a few weeks ago an- nounceS the sale of the Twin Buttes pcrsrtiets lJo Denver Capitalists. It ap- pears from a recent article in the Tue son Citizen that the actual transfer of this property wa9 cnly made a couple of days ago speaiaing of the Twin Buttes i,'he Citizen says.
 The Twin Bustes minas were under bond and lease about two years to J. Fl. Martin who expended considerable money in their development and would no doubt have purchased the propety had not dissenkdons arisen between himself and oopartneis which develop ei Into litigation that forced cancella- tion of the bond. Since that time the owners, Yoal CT, Ellis, Irish, Contzen and Canney. have refused to bend the property. but have diligently prescott ed development work, showing up ore bodies of such vast proportions and of such nigh grade that mining men of ex- perience did not hesitate to pay the price and taks the propelty. The pur- chase price is said to be the largest paid for mline in southern Arizona for a number of years and makes of the six fortunate owners very wealthy men.

THE OLD DOMINION
Concerning the Reported Resignation
 of Supt. Parnall.

The resignation or reported r'slgna- ton of Superintendent Parnall of the | Old Dominion Copper minCs in Arizona l is stated to be due % q disa grtssment with the directors of the company as td l the best methods of treating the ores says the Los Angeles Mining Review. A report from Boston says that as a re- suit of an expert examination Of the mine and plant 1t was decided to in,ro- duce new methods in the treatment of the ore, which decision did not meet with the approval of Mir Parrall. An ether reI5srl. says that the Old Llomin- ion management contemplates an ex- pendlture of upwards of s1 o00,O0 on the mine ard plant. which expenditure is expected to place the property in the front rank of copper producers. The expenditure will he made without the i.sue of treasury stock.
 The following leIttlr from President Bigelow of the Old Dominion to stock holder in the company is published
