Detectives who are engaged III the IN
vestigation of the murder of Henry w
Reid. tue salounkceper. said this after
noon that there had been no develop

full however. and expected they would
finally be able to solve the mystery. De-
.tective Cornwcll returned from Nokes-
vile. Va. where he went to investigate a
report that was received from there two
DAYS ago. 1t was reported that man
living near Nokesvillc had said he had
been in trouble here recently. and the
person who furnished the police tho
information thought he may nave re-
fcrrcd to tho Reid murder. The trouble
referred to by the NirSinian however
was that>hc was arrested here !or being

made by the police. The men in custody
ire held on suspicion and nothing tangible
has been found by the detectives In
spector Roardman received an anonymous
letter yesterday in which the writer Sus-
poScdly a cnlOred woman, told him the
detectives need not looR for a colored
man in connection with the case. adding
thai II. white man had committed the
crime.
Charles Phillips. the co,ored porter in

Boa ardman consulted representatives of
United States Attorney Baker this after
noon and arranged To have Phillips com
mittcd rs witness To appear at the i'll
quest.
Defense of Henry Reid
Friends of the deceased claim that tho
story printed in local papers January -
and 81. respectively. alleging to give cause
for the murder is Incorrect Reid. they
say. was Il man of good family and
moved in good society. 1t is true he
managed a Sa loon frequcnted by negroes
they declare. but this was not his choice
He was president of the Plaza Hotel
Company and February | the company
was to take steps to erect an $50, 900 hotel
where Reid's saloon stands.
Tine reason the saloon was run at all.
il is declared was To preserve the license
That Reid had women in his barroofll
is untrue it is alleged. and this. ii is de-
clared. is borne out by the report of the
police and the excise board. Had he all
lowed women to come into the saloon thu
excise board would have revoked his IL
cenSe. which was one of the chief assets
of the company. The same fact. it is
claimed. shows the falSity of the story
that he frequently engaged i'll brawls in
his place. 1t is also declared that Reid
was perfect gentleman and that his as
sociates were among the best business

GOLD PRODUCTION OF THE
TRANSVAAL AND ELSEWHERE

Reports from South Africa indicate
that the country has suffered much
from commercial and financial depres-
sion, but the gold production OF the
Transyaal keeps increasing at re-
markable rate. The output for the
month OF October of this year was
very nearly equal In value to one
third of the entire output of 1902. which
was affected. of course. by the dis
turbed condition of the country. The
value OF a years production went
above G20.000,000 in 1905. the exact
figures being R20.s02,074; in 1906
there was an advance to f24,579,997.
and for the Arst ten months of this
year the returns were 922, 1878.
This last sum amounts to about $780,
100000 in American money. we have
no such up-to-date figures for other
countries, but that the showing must
have An important effect on the stand
ing of the Transvaal as gold produc-
ing region will be seen by compari
son with the worlds returns for 1901
In that year the gold output of all
Africa was worth sS5,913,900. and that
OF the Transvaal alone something in
excess OF $4,000. 900. Australasia as a
whole had record OF ss7 767,3O0; the
United States. $s0.464 700; Russia, $24.-
s03, 200; Canada. s16.400,000; Mexico.
s12.605.3O0. and India. sl1.495.500. In
the first ten months of this year the
Transvaal exceeds the Australasia rcr
ord by about s22 100000. In the month
of October, which was a record-break-
er, the value OF its output in Ameri,
can money was Si1.417.53l. and two
more such months would give for the
year the enormous total of S132,s35.
