when the body will be exhumed. The brother of the murdered man. MT. Fred Jewell, a prominent banker of San Diego. has been notified by wire.
 "As you may have forgotten. I will give you some of the details. Last June Jewell came to Sonora from AL aska and began looking for mining properties. He was backed by his brother and a group of San Diego cap- italists. and was we'll supplied with funds. It was about the time of the discovery of the now we'll known Bo- lunda placers, which have since beer acquired by Epes Randolph of the Southern Pacific and l.. Lindsay. the Sonora mining man, and the company formed by them, and Jewell becams particularly interested in the placers around Llano Sonora. in the neighbor- hood of the we'll known San Francisco mine, which has been an active pro- ducers on large scale for a number of years.
 "One morning Jewell set out on his horse alone, saying that he was go- ing to look at a property that a Mex ican had told him about. The next day his horse wandered back alone. and from that time on no trace had
 
 His brother, Fred Jewell, came from San Diego, offered a liberal re- ward for any trace of the body and secured the country without any re- suit. Finally the brother gave up the search and returned to his home. It developed during the search that there had been considerable friction between the missing man and some of the of- ficials of the district in which Llano is located, the publication of which created great furore in Sonora, and several stormy interviews on both sides appeared in the daily papers.
 Fred Jewell thus became persona non grata to the Mexican officials and IT Is not known whether he will dare to return to Sonora or not.
 "The gruesOme discovery of the mur- dered mans body was made by Fl. Cor don Glore, a mining expert, who is we'll known on the Pacific coast and by Mr. Barnes of LlanO. MT. Glore was en- gagged on behalf of some well known capitalists, supposed to be Messrs. Randolph and Lindsay, in examining the Veta Tierra, one of the richest placer properties in Sonora, which is located about seven miles from Llano He was being shown some shallow test nOleS at some distance from the main shaft, by MT. Barnes, who is one of the owners of the property, when he noticed something white at tho bottom of one pit, which had evidently been uncovered by the, recent rains. He called MT. Barnes attention to it, and they put Mexican to work to discoV- CT what it was. The dirt was scarcely scratched before it was seen to he part of human jaw. A hurried invcstiga- ton was then made, which showed that one side of the skull had been crushed. From the color of the hair and the shape and arrangement of the teeth as well as from the clothes and avrious other articles, MT. Barnes. who was acquainted with the murdered man. was able to identify the remains as those of the missing Luther Jewell.
 "This discovery clears up what has been one of the strangest mysteries Of Sonora. It now seems most prob able that the Mexican who was re- sponsible for the atrocious deed, first obtained some of the fabulously rich pay dirt of the Veta Tierra and used 1t as bait to lure MT. Jewell to his death. He was known to carry with him considerable money and this fur nished the motive for the crime. The
