crimes ever discovered in this city.
Late at night, Toombs had come to the
steamer and had tried to force his way
into the young woman's room. Failing
of this he ordered her to cook him a
meal. AS she started to comply,
Toombs strangled her and mutliated
her body horribly and then compelled
Keissig, who was an unwilling Witness
to help him bury the body under the

400 feet wide, and consists of the leached remains of copper ore, technically known as "gossan" and sometimes called ''iron hat"
 Upon the north end of the Chi piona hill there have been driven in on the veins numerous tunnels, four of which can be entered. These tunnels enter the hill at varying depths below its crest, five hundred feet being the lowest. They run in on the vein from 150 to POO feet. They are not located regularly one above the other on the pitch of the vein, but irregularly covering 8 width of more than one hundred feet on the vein. In all these .un- nels the sulphide ores are encoun- tered, being in bands or swells from five to sixteen feet of solid ore.
 In the upper tunnel of the Chi piona the ore is shown standing more than one hundred feet high and ten feet thick, as left by the ancients, they having stoped out all of the oxidized portions of the vein. The apex of this exposed ore is taken as the highest point on the hill where sulphides are encoun- tered on the north end of it. The lower tunnel shows the same ore at a point three hundred and fifty feet lower down on the vein, so that the base ore can be shown to a depth

the Colorado vein, as shown by the various tunnels and openings, is five feet of solid sulphide ore. This vein is parallel with the Chipiona and sixty-tive feet away. The width of the solid sulphide ore in the latter vein is ten feet, and in both veins the ores are shown to be of the same quality and richness. It is authoritatively estimated that the amount of ore which can be taken out of these veins to a depth of three hundred and fifty feet, and extending through to the two open ings on the south end of the vein, will approximate two millions of tons. This estimate is based upon the width of the ore now shown in the two veins, extending down to the point where it is shown in the lower tunnel, to a depth of three hundred and fifty feet, and extend ing along the strike of the vein to where the ore appears in the south end of the mountain.
 Competent experts estimate that the amount of silver contained in this mass of ore will exceed 350,- 100000; that the gold at $2.50 per ton would amount to $12,50( /, GOO; that with saving 3 per cent. of the copper there would be pro- duction of more than 250,000 tons of metal, that at present prices

part which parted from its values by teaching, their reward was great. The productive portion of the Chi piona, Colorado and Plomosa, which was the top parts of the same vein, cover width of more than four hundred feet, and was worked to a depth averaging seyenty-fve feet through distance of more than three-quarters of mile. In hun dreds of openings there yet remain evidences of the large quantities of ores extracted.
 The Chipiona vein cuts longitud- inally through a hill about one mile long and half mile in width. The vein has a slight dip to the east. The cropping of the vein is about

 Bytraversing the old works along the cropping of the vein to the southern end of the mountain, a distance of three thousand feet from the mouth of the lowest tunnel on the north end of the vein, the sulph- idle ores occur in two distinct open ings, more than three hundred feet apart and fully one hundred feet higher on the hill than the apex of the ore on the upper tunnel of the Chipiona at the north end of the hill.
