ROB GOLD DREDGES
OF RICH AMALGAM
BETWEEN $4,000 AND $4,000
is TAKEN BY TRUSTED
WORKMEN.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 20.-What
the county authorities claim to be a
gigantic scheme to Systematically rob
the gold dredges operating in the vi
cinity of Folsom has been unearthed
through the arrest of Frank Cole, E.
Cordell, w. Wells and Charles Lom-
bardi on charges of grand larceny.
They are now being held in the coun-
ty Jail. 1t is claimed that evidence
is at hand to prove that they have
been taking amalgam of great value
from the dredgers owned by Will
lA. E. Gerber, Sacramento banker,
ana r. G. Hanford, operating under
the name of the Folsom development
company.
Information from the mint in San
Francisco is what led to the arrest of
the men. 1t was reported to the
dredger people that large amounts of
amalgam was being disposed of there
that resembled that taken from the
dredges. The fact that the man dis
posing of it did not follow the usual
business method of shipping the
gold by express and receiving his
coin in the same way, but instead
called at the mint personally with
the metal is what aroused the sus-
picions of the authorities. The mat
ter has been in the hands of County
Detective Lamphrey for several days
and it was on the evidence he gath
cred that the district attorney adj
vised the sheriff to make the arrests.
It was ascertained that Cole disposed
of the amalgam at the mint.
Cole and Cordell had been work
ing on one of the dredges for many
months About three months ago
they purchased saloon in Folsom.
In an effort to throw off suspicion
1t is contended they borrowed por-
ton of the money with which to COM
plete the transaction. This they adj
mitted when questioned by the au-
thorities and also acknowledged they
had considerable amalgam in their
possession at the time. They did not
attempt to conduct the saloon them
selves but installed lombard as boss
and barkeeper and continued their
employment on the dredges.
The authorities declare that the
men had easy access to the plates on
the dredges as they came from the
sluices and that the matter of scrap.
ing off a little gold at time was
easy. The theory is that Lombardi
the barkeeper was the go between be-
TWEEN others who was operating with
Cordell and Cole Wells is declared
to be one of these. Cole admits hav
ing disposed of large amount~of the
precious metal at the mint in Sar
Francisco, but claims that 1t came
from a mine owned by his mother a
Iowa Hill. 1t is the belief that
large amount of amalgam is cached
near Folsom, but the authorize
have been unable to find 1t. The ful
extent of the thefts has not been as
certained. but it is the belief that !
will amount to between 100000 ant

is approached and high grade ore is
expected at the contact
This rhyolite dyke cuts the strait
fication of the mountain in such
manner that strong faultng is caus'
ed, and the history of development in
Rawhide shows that the richest and
largest ore bodies occur at these con-
facts or faults.
The crosscut will be pushed ahead
by three shifts and the ore bodies
rapidly opened for production. Pres
ent development gives lis feet of
stopping ground above the level of the
tunnel and this will be largely in
creased by driving to the crest of
the hill The surface indications
along the crest of Balloon hill show
very pronounced orthoclase dyke
forming the core of the hill, which
carries on the surface sufficient val
ues to make it a profitable product
under the favorable milling charges
which will soon be available for
Rawhide ores. The values shown on
surface will undoubtedly increase
with depth.
The orthoclase dyke is scanned
with small stringers of quartz which
show considerable free gold at sur
face, and it is the opinion of eminent
biologists who have visited the dis
trict that these quartz stringers will
unite at depth and form good streaks
of high grade in addition to the val
ues contained in large bodies of mill
ing ore.
Developments on the east side of
the mountain consist of the tunnel
100 feet in length, the crosscut is in
about six feet, and an incline shaft
from the surface siXty-five feet in
depth, which is connected with the
tunnel at the breast, affording SPLEEN
did ventilation. This shaft is within
fifty feet of the shaft on the famous
Jordan lease, from which shipments
of ore running $500 have been
made. High grade ore was encount-
cred on the surface where this in
cline shaft was sunk and assays OF
1925, $3.50 and $3.50 were secured.
The general break of the ore in the
shaft shows values ranging from SIS
to $3.50 per ton.
On the west slope of Balloon hill
II and adjoining the Kearns No. 2 lease
is shaft forty feet with a crosscut
of fifteen feet in which good milling
, values have been developed. This
part of the lease covers the same con-
tact in which the rich ore on the
! Kearns No. Q was found, and con-
i tinued development here should eX-
pose as good ore bodies as have been
uncovered in it's famous neighbor.
/ The company is now formulating
: plans for installing power hoist or
: both of the shafts for the purpose Of
2 sinking to greater depth. The recent
, strike on the east slope of the hill has
j encouraged the management to ever
t more aggressive development of this
f very promising proposition than has
: heretofore been followed, and this
e lease is undoubtedly destined soon tt
. become one of the most importan
: producers in Rawhide.

j. II. Lamotain brought suit against
Herman Vierk and son IN Justice
Gaudet's court Tuesday morning for
the recovery Of a certain sum of
money, which he claimed to be due;
him for wages Complainant claimed
that at the time he hired out to
Vierk's son. an agreement was made
that he was to work at $40 per month
for : Ia months. IF he quit before
that time he was to be paid at the
rate of SIS per month. He claims that
before this time had expired he was
discharged, and offered as reccompense
for his labors certain sum, which
was at the rate of SIS per month. As
Lamotain said he did not quit, and
was willing to remain the remainder
OF the 1-2 months, he claimed q
sum, which was at the rate of $50 per
month, and therefore refused the
lower amount offered him. He then
brought the above action against the
Vierks. The defendants claims that
the fellow quit Of his own .-volitlon.
The case was taken under advisement,
and decision was rendered yesterday,
granting complainant a judgement for
amount sued for and assessing the cost

Wetzel struck out men, Schroeder
3 and Rasch 3.
The Record Breakers went down to
Of the Randall team at the local ball
grounds last Sunday afternoon by the
score Of Z to 5. Ed Ploof, who
pitched for the locals, had an off. day.
He was pounded all over the lot by
the visitors in the first inning, netting
them five runs, and the rest of the
team for the most part gave very
poor exhibition of ballplaying. The
game, SO far as the Record Breakers
are concerned, was not up to their
standard playing, as errors were very
humorous IN the Record Breaker S
, half Of the first inning Gravel scored a
run; in the fifth he secured a hit,
scoring Ploof and Hall, and later
! scored a run himself in the same inn
ing Billsteln tied the score for the
locals in the sixth inning, but there
was no more scoring for them during
the rest of the game. In the eighth
inning two of the visitors earned theil
way to first, then Ploof filed the base:
by hitting the batter with the ball
and forced a score by letting the mex,
one up take his base on balls Still
another run was scored by the Ran
dali boys in this inning before thu
slde was put out, the score standing
to 5 in favor Of Randall. The local.
had a fine chance to score in the mini
inning, when Gagnon, the first MAJ
up, manipulated three-base hit. HI
died on third, however, as Lattime
for Randall struck out the mex
three men up, ending the game. Hi
pitching was the feature of the game
Throughout the game he had tn
locals on his staff. His speedy lett
handed 1n-shoots were too much TO
the Record Breakers.

The Roosevelt Dam in Arizona.

The Roosevelt dam will eclipse in
magnitude of cubic contents all of the
dams at present under construction by
the reclamation service. 1t will con-
tain 100000 cubic yards of masonry,
or over six times more than the Path
finder, and nearly five times as much
as the Shoshone dam. It's height will
be $50 feet from foundation, length on
top $50 feet Tor, including spillway
bridges, 1880 feet, and its thickness
at the base 165 feet. In plan, although
built in the form of an arch, this
structure differs from the Shoshone
and Pathfinder dams in being of the
gravity type, wherein mass alone is
sufficient to secure stability.
The resulting reservoir will be the
largest artifcially formed lake in the
world, a body of water % miles long,
in places over two miles wide, with a
storage capacity of 100000 acre-feet
and maximum depth of over 220 feet.
