MYSTERY OF HIS vALIsE.
Collins is Said to Have Guarded It
Closely.


Another mystery that seems to have
figured very prominently in the life Of
Collins for the past few years hangs
about his valise, no trace Of which has
been discovered yet. He guarded the
valise, it is said, with a jealousy that
almost led those with whom he lived
to believe he was mentally unbalanced.
When he roomed at the Warm Springs,
it was learned yesterday, he would
never allow the chambermaid to enter
his room TO clean il without watching
her all the time, and would not allow
anyone to touch the valise. He guarded
II as though it contained some power
full secret, and, so far as known. no
one ever handled it except himself until
Clyde Felt carried it to the top Of
Ensign peak for him on the Monday
OF his disappearance
Long before Collins disappeared. con-
lecture was rampant about the valise
and what it might contain. and by
some it IS thought that it holds that
which will explain the strange death
Of its owner. The officers believe it
contains his papers and probably all
that would throw any light on his
financial condition. In view of this.
every effort is being made now to find
the missing valise.

Two Millions Coming to Them, But
Claim Unpaid.
Washington, March 3L-No action
has been taken thus far by the appro-
priatiOn committee of the house on the
recommendation of the president 20 pay
by appropriation S2.1OO.O0O of the mis-
sionary claims growing out of the Box
er troubles in China. and an informal
understanding has been reached that it
viii be inadvisable to pay their claims
before hey have been 8djudicated in
the usual manner by d commission or
some other body, and also before China
has paid the S25, 600, 600 indemnity COM
ing 20 this country.
The matter came up recently when
the sundry civil appropriation dill was
under consideration, and Chairman
Cannon called in Mr. Hit of the for
eigu affairs committee to get his views
on the subject.
All agreed that the claims ought to
be adjudicated before being paid and
ought to await China's settling UP. It
is probable this terminates any pres
ent appropriation of the amount of
these claims

he carried was extremely heavy.

Mrs. Parker Says She Lent It to Col

The rope with which Collins was
bound and which left deep imprints
on the mans legs and body has been
positively identified by its owner, from
whom it was borrowed a few weeks
ago, Considerable significance had
been attached 10 the identification of
the cord by the officers. who hoped in
this way to establish a ciew that would
either point TO suicide OF murder and
throw some light upon the mystery
which surrounds the death Of the old
man.
The cord is q large cotton rope. ten

One Of the most intimate friends Of
the old man who was slain is Clyde
Woodward, the 15-year-old son of c.
H. Woodland, 96S West Fourth South
street. The boy, together with Clyde
Felt, perhaps. enjoyed the old mans
confidence and friendship to a greater
extent than any one else in the city
Always respectful and needless to
the eccentricities Of Collins, the boys
endeared themselves to him in a way
that made the trio almost inseparable.
One of the lads usually spent the night
with the old man, and shared most of
his secrets and hopes. They were the
recipients of many presents from their
aged friend. who tried in every way
possible to show his appreciation of
their friendship.
Young Woodward was with Collins
from Saturday forenoon until 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. The boy called 1T

Collins worked, early Saturday morning
and at the earnest solicitation of his
friend spent the remainder Of the day
and stayed until Sunday afternoon.

Mohave County miner., 1902-10-04

A mill is now being built at or
near Florence, Colorado, that is to
work 81 ore at a profit. 1t is well
known that Cripple Greek ore is
somewhat base and that it will
have to be worked by some process
that will remove the effects of tie
basis in the ores. which heretofore
has entailed considerable expense.
The process to be used is secret
but the parties are putting in their
own money, which would indicate
that the thing is all right Mohave
county has n,illions of tons of ore
averaging above five dollars to the
ton, but their baseness prevents
their being worked to any advan.
tage. If the Florence me- hod is a
success a plant in this county ought
to be big paving inst tuition.
Mohave County miner., 1902-10-04

The mines of Arizona offer better
, inducement to the investors Of cap.
ital than does Mexico, because Of
the fact that our government ex-
acts no iovs ltv on production. On
go d production the government of
Mexico exacts one per cent on the
1000 kilograms (equal TO our ton J,
while ON the coinage of bullion into
coin a stamp tax of three cents and
n,intage charge of two cents is also
levied against the ores. The entire
tax on bullion is very great,
amounting to something like six
per cent. Why people will go into
Mexico for the purl e of making
investments under tLis It tie of af-
fairs is mystery to the ordinary
man, but the halo Cf romance that
surrounds that old country has a
stro z hold on the imaginative
eastern investors and they take
large blocks OF stock in an appar-
emily worthless proposition because
the story goes that the mine, when
worked 10y the Aztecs or padres,
produced hundreds of millions of
dollars in the long ago Arizona
has more and better mines than
Mexico and the conditions for their
working are much better, cheaper
and more satisfying.
