BURIAL PLACE OF BOOTH.
what Became of the Body of th'
Assassin of Lincoln.

4
Assassin of Lincoln.
In the Journal of a recent Saturday
note a letter from Olive Ennis Hite,
In which she relates a story told her by
an officer of the navy as to the dlsposi-
ton made OF the body of Wilkes Booth,
In which it is stated as a fact, never
having been disputed" that the body
OF Booth-in a gunnysack-wast taken
aboard the Montauk in the Potomac
River and cast overheard at point
below Indian Head.
How such story could have origin
ated | fail to understand and that it
may not be accepted without dispute,
let me state the following, says Colonel
f. II. Phlpps, in the army and navy
journal: After the assassination of
President Lincoln and the arrest Of the
conspirators the latter were tried in
the old Washington penitentiary build
ing and after their execution they
were buried just outside the walls of
the building. When these buildings
with the exception of the warden's and
deputy warden's quarters, as well as
the surrounding walls-were torn down
these bodies were taken up and buried
In one Of the old storehouses at the
Washington arsenal In locked room
and underneath stone tagging, and
by their sides were placed the bodies
of Wirtz, the Confederate jaier, and
also the body of Booth, the latter hav-
ing been delivered at the arsenal in a
gunnysack at the little boathouse off
the Washington arsenal grounds. The
place Of burial was marked SO as to
Identify where the bodies were placed.
just before Andrew Johnsons term
as President expired, Edwin Booth ap-
piled to him for permission to have
Wilkes Booths body exhumed and turn
ed over to him for burial at Bslti-
more. The President gave instructions,
through the Secretary of War, to Gen.
eral George d. Ramsay, the command
Ing officer at Washington arsenal, to
exhume this body and satisfy himself
there having been several stories
about that Booth had never been kill
ed, and had been seen here, there and
elsewhere-that the remains turned
over were those Of J. Wilkes Booth.
The commanding officer of the arsenal
directed me to personally superintend
the transfer Of these remains.
With party Of enlisted men, the
remains were taken up in my pres
ence, the lid of the box removed, and
the remains of Booth positively identi-
fed beyond any question. The black
hair, the shape of the skull, the color
and condition of the clothes, the riding
boots and the remains of the boot cut
off at the ankle all indicated without
doubt that the body was that of Booth.
In addition to this Identification, a
dentist In Baltimore had previously
stated that he could identity Booth
anywhere by tooth, the cavity of
which he had filled and built up, 1t
being so unusual that he could identi-
fly Booth anywhere by this tooth. This
Identification, understand, was sub
sequently made.
Later on the friends of the other
conspirators - Mrs Surratt, Paine,
Harold, Atzerot, and also of Writ,
the confederate jailer-applied for and
received similar permission, the bod
les being removed under my personal
supervision the lids of the boxes being
removed In each case.

When one can buy residence lot for
from 5000 to 5000, only paying few
dollars down and the rest on easy terms,
it is no wonder that SO many outside
people are investing in "Terrace Park" "
Their money is certain to double and
treble. The Spanton Company of 270

SAN JUAN BAUTiSTA.

This famous old property is located about twenty miles northwest from the ancient town of Moctezuma, Sonora. Many years ago it was worked, and tradition says many millions in gold were taken out of it. There was at one time large number of people liv- ing there, but nothing today remains of this habitation except a few faint traces Of adobe walls. The mines, however, are still there and in con trol of Washington, D. C., company; :; and it is the intention to work them thoroughly and scientifically. A big concentrating plant will be erected soon, and large force of men employ ed. At present only sixty men are at work. The mine produces copper, silver and gold. The high grade ore is being sent to the smelter at Cum pas: and some of it has run as high as 5 per cent copper and 300 ounces of silver The mines always had the reputation of being fabulously rich, and it seems that they are maintaining the record

soLEo NINE IMPROVEMENT

Private adyices received here from Santa Rosalio, Lower California, show that 1906 was the most success ful year in the history of tho lBoleo Copper Co, the French coBcSfu iiI which the RoJhschilds are principally interested and which owns the smelt- CT at Santa Rosalio and the adjacent copper mines. In the F months ofU to the amount of 302, ,499 tons was handled in the shelter and from this ore 100000 kiIos of pure copper re- suited. Estimated on a basis of 20 cents gold per pound, the copper ob- tained and shipped to Europe in 1906 had value of s4,7S0.000 gold, or more than s9 ,561 ,000 Mexican currency. The coke for the Boleo smeIter is imported direct from Cardiff. In the year just closed the coke consumed amounted to 4,140 tons. At the present time the Boleo Copper Co. is paying in wages to employees s1G0,000 monthly, and this was about the expenditure during the last year, making a total Of approximately ,0e0 for the F months. At the Purgatorio group of mines the monthly payroll amounts Rs $35,000, and at the Soledad group, S32, 900. The smelter employees draw
 1000 a month, and there is paid to other employees each month the sum of s31,000. It is stated that no miner receives less than s2.10 a day, and that some earn as high as s8 daily. The French company absolute : ly control the town ana port of Santa Rosalio. The stores, meat shops and bakeries are owned by the company, and for the benefit of the employees a theater and public baths are main tained. In past times complaints against the company were frequent in connection with the operation of the stores and because of a system of . fines formerly in effect. but apparent ly all difficulties have been adjusted and the affairs O the company are said to be in better shape than ever before. Ernest Michot is the present director of the company. Recent development work in the Boleo mines has resulted in the opening up of new high grade copper veins, and engineers reports on the new discoveries have resulted in advancing BoIec stock on the French market, Director General Micbot will soon leave Santa Rosalio to visit the Inguarsn copper mines In the state of Michoacan, which are owned by the Boleo interests. Up to this time only limited development work has been done at inguaran. but extensive operations are planned at sn early date. It Is stated that the
 railroad from the mines to the Pacific port of ihuantanejo, which has been talked of for some time and for which surveys have been made. will be built.

HUTTON c CO.'S. LETTER.

NEW YoRK-Today' stock market was featureless. Some liquidation being in evidence but not in sufficient volume to create any striking de clines. Weakness during the day was followed by fair rallies and it looked as if the bears were using more caG- tion than heretofore in making drives. he bulk of the transactions was by the room traders and pro fessional commission house business being at a standstill and sentiment was much mixed even among the strongest banking firms as to the position of the market but the ma jority seemed to feel that strong rally was due. Closing pIIccs would indicate that some of the bears were getting nervous and covering stocks. This is not a time to get bearish on securities and we feel that on any further declines they may be engi- neered in the month that bottom will be seen and gnnd Aocks can be

FREE GOLD AT MODERN.

Two punches of ore were struck a short time ago at the 80 and 260-foot levels of the Modern Copper company out on the Tombstone road. The ore runs gold and eopper-the gold horns distinctly. This is at so feet. The copper is bornite and blue and green At the 200 foot level about the same character of ore was found. The management intend to crosscut on the 200-foot level in order to cut through three ore bodies-in other words, three ledges. An air compressor and drills will be at work on the property about the last of this month. The Modern has had many "ups and downs" in the past; but now the infringement is in possession of plenty of money and work will be pushed to the limit. The general manager of the property is Mir.
