the opinion of the states experts, he is

ing watched daily by superintendent r.
b. Lamb OF the state hospital. DIR. Ferris
added that Thaw will be observed closely
for the first 60 days Of his confinement,
and at the end of that time, IL he is re-
garded by the superintendent as sane, a
report to that effect will be made TO the

TO REGAIN LOST
MILLIONS IN MINES

Denver, Colo, Feb. 29.-"F.. Augustus
Heinze, who was lately knocked down
and relieved Of mis- money in Wall street.
is going to retrieve his fortune by develop
ing a large group Of gold mines in Ne
vada," says a Denver mining man.
II am Informed that he will not try
to repair his fortune In copper. but Will
hereafter devote all of his time to gold
mining. When he gets rich this time.
II he does get rich, it is likely that he
will remain so.
"Heinze has secured options on all OF
the claims at ORC City, New. Orc City
is about twelve miles from Rawhide. AS
yet no mines have been deveIoped at Orc.
but the surface indications are good. In
this respect the district is something like
Cripple Creek. Gold. you will remember,
was struck at grass roots in Cripple Creek.
Today, Of course, deep gold mining is the
great thing there. The same thing is true
Of some OF the Nevada properties.
The mines at Orc will be great mines,
providing that the veins hold to a good
depth. OF course, IL they peter out after
they have been sunk a few hundred feet
there will be nothing doing. but 1 expect
TO see some good mines at Orc.
"Heinze has not only secured an option
on the claims at ORC. but he has an OPP
ton on the water supply and on the town
site. He will own the whole place. A
deal for the purchase is now under way
In New York city. and ! expect to hear
OF its being closed any day now"
By ~manipulations Of the copper market
Heinze was recently stripped of much Of
his wealth. He is still said TO have some
what OF a following among Eastern fnan-
ciers and will no doubt be able to raise
any money necessary to carry out his
scheme at ORC. Schwab and other East
ern men are largely interested in gold
mines IN Nevada. and when labor trou-
bles there are settled the state will again
attract capital.
