KANSAS CITY, June 22,--A reg
istered mail pouch which contained
$4,000 in money and $4,000 worth
Of diamonds and jewelry was stolen
from mail car at the Union Station
here on the night OF June 8, was
found this afternoon BY the switch
ing crew in the yard Of the Rock
Island Railway in Kansas City,
Kansas.
The pouch still contained a Mum
ber OF valuable articles Of jewelry
but the empty envelopes which had
contained $4,000 in currency showed
that the thief made good on the
smaller part OF his haul.
The theft Of the pouch is highly
mysterious. II was consigned from
Los Angeles TO New York Receipts
we're shown all the way from Los
Angeles to Kansas City where the
pouch was lost sight OF.
The case is made more notable BY
the fact that the thief slipped through
the hands Of the Kansas City police
ON Iune J the detectives arrested
negro near the depot. He was takeI
10 the station and $4,000 worth o
jewelry and several hundred dollar
in money was found on him. Tn
negro sent for an influential lawye
and offered him $500 II he would &c
\ him free. The attorney had tn
charge changed from Investigation
10 "vagrancy" the next day. and ther
being no other charge the negro wa
ordered to leave town.
Ten days later the federal author
ties issued photographs OF a negr
known as Charles Stephenson an
various aliases. This picture wa
recognized as being that Of the negr
who had been under arrest. The fec
eral authorities Immediately struc
the negroes trail and traced him

parently dropped A reward OF S2OI
has been offered by the governmel
for his arrest The postoficc officia
refused to divulge the value Of Il
jewelry discovered, but i Is believe
to be almost all Of the original shi
ment.

In the immediate vicinity Of
Patagonia, at the extreme north
end OF the Patagonia mountains,
are the Christmas Gift and other
good properties, owned by the San.
ia Cruz Mining Company, which
has also some good mines in the
Santa Rita mountains, where work
is being done.
One of the great advantages Of
fered to mining in both the Santa
Rita and Patagonia mountains, is
the abundance Of wood and water
Particularly is this true in the
Santa Rita mountains, whe the
gulches run with water all the
year, and the hills are covered
with a good growth Of oak timber,
and pine forests upon the heights.
In the western part Of the coun-
ty, the Orc Blanco region is one Of
gold production, and there has
been considerable activity there at
times. Among the properties over
there are the Warsaw, Sorreltop,
Tres Amigos, Old Glory and Mon

placer ground in the region, and

Pierce found the mine. Mr.. Pierce

SOME three years. and at various
times the natives have brought him
some very rich float from the let

ago he took a trip to the arroyo
with the express purpose OF trying
to see where the float came from.
The strike will undoubtedly result
in rush to that part Of the creek
by miners and prospectors, and
large camp be established there.
Had the rich find been made in

great rush to the place at once,
