LOOT OF ROBBERY is RECOVERED
Two Bullion Bricks Taken by Bandits

Two Bullion Bricks Taken by Bandits
from Express Company, Found
Omaha, Jan. 31.-Supt. Patterson OF
the Pacific Express company returned
to Omaha from Sidney, Neb, bringing
with him two large bricks Of bullion,
believed to represent part of the loot
of robbery of the company's office IN
Sidney, Neb., in March, 1880.
The metal was found buried in the
debris of a saloon which burned two
weeks ago. The robbery was the bold
est of it's kind ever committed in the
west. and the bullion which had been
received that day by stage from the
Black Hills was valued at $4,000. One
of the bricks was sold to the Denver
mint year after the robbery. Sheriff
Mccarthy, who then owned the saloon
which burned recently, was believed
to be the leader of the robber band,
but the express company was unable
to obtain his indictment. His brother
was later hanged by vigilantes Nc
Carthy has been dead several years.
Supt. Patterson is trying to establish
Identification of the metal. He says
the bullion value is indefinite, but he
will have it assayed at once. Mr..
Patterson said:
Some of the bricks which the ex-
press company carried in the early
days were not worth more than $4,000,
as gold was not refined in the Black
Hills in 1880, as it is today. If the
bricks are found to contain gold which
has been refined, en- the average, they
probably are worth $4,000 each. l do
not feel could pass on their value and
sent them at once to st. Louis.

Cooperative Work In Which National
Forest Service Is Engaged.
That Uncle Sam believes thoroughly
in the conservative management o
timber lands is shown by the fact th;i
he is practicing forestry on lands othe
forests in the west.
Besides cooperating with privat'
owners of woodland in assisting thel
to apply conservative management an
with various states in study of thel
forest conditions, the United State;
forest service co-operates also will
the other branches Of the federal gov
eminent. Chief among these branches
Is the war department. The military
reservations which so far have been
examined and reported upon are those
at West Point, N. Y; Fort Wingate.
N. NJ; the Rock Island arsenal In I'LL
nois and the Picatinny arsenal in New
Jersey At West Point the forest con-
sists Of second growth hard woods and
for some time has in part supplied the
post with cord wood, lumber, hurdle
poles, tanbark and other forest prod
ucts. The forest service made work
ing plan for this forest in 1908, and
since then cutting has been along con-
servative lines with view of per-
petuating the forest and at the same
time supplying the post with definite
amount of wood each year. Similar
plans are in preparation for the for
ests of Rock Island and Picatinny
arsenals.
BY far the largest piece of co-opera-
tive work in which the service Is now
engaged is that at Fort Wingate, N.
NJ, where, under the supervision of
forest officers, the war department Is
selling 25,00o,OoO feet of western yell
low pine. This timber lies in the south
east corner of reservation of 40
square miles, Is inaccessible to the post
and was consequently offered for sale.
The top market price is being obtained
for it, and it is being cut under a rigid
contract according to forestry princi-
pies. Under this contract no trees un-
der sixteen inches in diameter can be
cut except those which are dead or de
fective and those whose rem oval will
benefit the forest, and no tree can be
cut unless marked by q forest officer.
Two trees sixteen inches or over in
diameter ere left per acre when need
ed for seed, stumps must not exceed
eighteen inches in height, and all mer-
charitable timber, both standing and
down, as indicated by the forest Off
Ger, must be removed. Failure to re-
move any timber SO indicated and the
intentional cutting of unmarked trees
are penalized by stumpage charge
of double the contract price.
All brush is being piled and burned
| and thus the danger of fire is consid-
erably lessened. The sale was start
ed last summer, and it Is expect
| ed to continue through period OF
| five years, with a cut Of 100000 feet
a year. Already about 100000 feet
have been marked for cutting by for
est officer The sale Is progressing
without friction between buyer and
| seller, and from the start forest Of
| ficer has been continuously on hand to
| look out for Uncle Sam.
