in Murdered Mans Room.
g YORK, February 23.-Whlle a search
was being made by detectives and
county officials for the will of David
.Heckert who was murdered about a
week ago, a hoard Of $4,000 was found
beneath pile of old papers. This was
undoubtedly the treasure which the
murderer, was after when he entered
the aged mans room. 1t is now be-
slieved that the intruder departed with
out having secured any money.
The money discovered to-day was In
old bills and gold, and was made up
in several packages. In a cardboard
box was white duck bag, containing
s579s in gold coins, some OF them stain
ed and rusted. Upon one of the pack
ages were these words: Saved by mo

detectives who are working on the
case have obtained no clew that will

Up to this date the work which the

would seem to be somewhat out of
proportion to the time and effort ex-
pended.
AS matter OF fact, not over two
dozen bills have been enacted. Some
ef these were Of far-reaching conse-
quence, such as the repeal OF the pro-
hibition against paralleling the Rich
mond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad the increase OF the convict

large matters. which hare required
thought and labor upon the part of
tho members OF the General Assembly
and which are not to be judged by
the space they will occupy In the
printed acts.
Some Important Matters.
The repeal bill. for example, can
be printed In half dozen lines. but
1t took nearly four weeks to get 1t
through both branches. The several
road bills were warmly contested. "A
large part of these struggles occurred
before the committees. Insnany cases.
the fight was fierce. and in sometfit
WAS exceedingly protracted. Quite n
number OF the bills were also
yehemcntly opposed upon the floors
of the two houses. The repeal. act
and the road measures may be men,
toned as examples, T hree days In
each house Is fair average time for
any very important matter to consume.

LAND

WASHINGTON, D. c., April e.
Trial of the land fraud cases against
Frederick A. Hyde. John A. Benson,
Henry p Dimond and Joost H.
Schneider. involving an alleged con-
spiracy to defraud the United States
government out of valuable lands in
several western states, was begun to-
day before Justice Stafford in the
criminal court No. 1 here.
Upwards of 200 witnesses from
fourteen states in the west, where the
alleged fraudulent requirements of
lands was effected. are here for the
trial. This case has been on the
docket here and in California for the
past four years, the trial having been
postponed from time to time. One
of the delays was caused because Of
lack of funds to pay witness fees anil
other expenses. An appropriation OF
100000 was made by congress at its
present session to cover the cost of
the trial.

telluride ORE
At SEARCELIGHT

Details are lacking. but from auth
oritative sources it is learned that a
strike of telluride ore has been made
at ,Eldorado Canyon.
1t seems that A o. Ellis. president
and general manager Of the Victor
Queen Bee Mining Company, has
been doing desultory work on this
property for some months past An
eight-foot lead was exploited which
showed great strength and continu-
ity, but judged by paintings results
were hardly satisfactory Camp fire
tests were resorted to, which gave
just enough evidences of the true
values of the ore to lead Mr. Ellis to
have assays made.
The results of the assays were as
tonishing. Two certificates were
shown by Mr. Ellis to friends at Nell
son which were the results of gem
eral samplings across the entire eight
feet, One ran 5000 and the other
5000.
Mr.. Ellis is now in San Francisco,
the home Office of the company, and
his sudden departure, together with
the fact that he has on several diff
ferent occasions stated his belief in
the existence of telluride ore on his
property, lends additional color to
the reported strike
Additional information was gained
yesterday from A. ]. Peak regarding
the Ellis strike. He said:
Il visited the property a few days
ago with A. K. Wright. Mr.. Ellis
was absent, but the young man 10
charge showed us around. A great
deal of work has been done and ap-
parently with good results without
exception. The telluride ore was
found some eighty feet in a tunnel
This tunnel had been run in on the
ore. following what appeared to be
a wall, but near the face this wall
was broken through and disclosed an
additional four feet of ore. Samplinl
this four feet, and the four feet in
the face, eight feet in all, an assay
was made which ran 5000. Very
| much excited, but at the same time
skeptical as to the correctness of the
return, Mr.. Ellis loaded up witt
more samples and hurried to Sar
Francisco. In that city not one, but
a number of assays and checks wer,
run, and 5000 was the lowest result
Practically all the values are il

Sweating GOLD
Coin HIS GRAFT

SALT LAKE, Utah, April e.
Sweating gold coin is the charge
made against Eben J. Gregory, re-
nu:ed mining broker of this city. He
xas- arrested by R. X Goddard of
the United States secret service. If
the authorities are not mistaken,
Gregory has been at the business for
about two years and by subjecting
them to a chemical bath has reduced
the weight of all the coins that
passed through his hands about 10
nor cent. His frequent shipments to
the 0anver mint and the extreme pur-
ity Of his product drew the atten-
siol- of the government to him. His
last consignment of gold, made March
2s. brought him 1886 from the mint.

Mr.. Peak was asked why it was
that the true value Of the ore had
not been known before, and in reply
he said: 81 asked the same thing,
and it was explained to me that it
had been known to them in a general
way, but that the ore had been spot
ted. One day it would have values
and the next day perhaps little or
nothing. "-Searchlight Bulletin.
