DR.. B. Clark Hyde had beer under
suspicion in connection with the mys-
terious illness and deaths in the SWope
family ever since the death OF Col.
Thomas II. Swope on Oct, 8, 1899.
The death of Col. Swope followed
SOC after he had sustained d severe
CONFUSION, and the CONFUSION, it was
charged by members of the Swope
family, followed Immediately after
the administration OF a capsule at the
direction of DR.. Hyde. DR.. HYDE said
it was a digestive tablet. 1t was PROV
en- at the trial that Dr.. Hyde had pur-
chased cyanide of potassium in five
grain capsules and he was prosecuted
on the belief that he gave one of
these capsules to Col. Swope. DR..
Hyde said he bought the cyanide cap
sules to kill cockroaches in his office.
Two days before the death of Col.
Swope, Moss Hunton, a cousin OF the
millionaire philanthropist, died at the
Swope home following a stroke OF
apoplexy. Drs. Hyde and G. r. ivy
man of Independence treated Hunton.
The patient was bled profusely, it is
charged, at the suggestion of Dr..
Hyde. After six pints Of blood was
taken from Hunton the bleeding pro-
cess was stopped, but not until DR..
Twyham had repeatedly protested
that too much blood was being taken
from the old man.
Beginning early in December an cpl

PLACER MINING BOOSTED
Offer of $4,000 for Interests on
Wilson Mesa Refused by
Moab People.
Especial to The Herald-RepublIcanJ

Especial to The Herald-Republican.)
Moab. Apil 1O.-Placer mining has been
given a big boost here the past week by
the refusal of Inman, Wilder and others
of $4,000 for their placer interests on
Wilson mesa. These men control about
1000 acres of placer ground on the mesa.
The offer to buy came through a Grand
Junction bank. They also refused an Of
fer of $4,000 for a three-year bond and
lease on their holdings made by George
Shorter of Denver, representing the Gug-
genheim interests.
Mr.. Inman was in Moab this week and
predicted there would be more men work
ing on the mesa this year than had ever
been employed in the county before. He
said arrangements were being made by
his company for the immediate shipment
to the mesa of a Seton stamp mill, to be
used in connection with the placer min
ing. The richest values on the mesa
according to Mr.. Inman, are in quartz
deposits and a mill is necessary to work
the quartz. The land runs from Is cents
to sly cents a yard, none of it running
under 25 cents.
Placer mining has been going on in the
mesa for the past three years. and cyl
dence has been shown of rich quartz de-
posits.. Inman claims that his company
has found these deposits.
The Inman and Wilder interests have
consolidated with the owners or the
Black Cat group of placer claims.
Webb & Boren have practically COM
pleted sale of half of their placer hold
ings. On their property last year, with
the crudest kind of equipment, an out
fit that one man could carry on his back,
the two men took out 81 800 worth of gold
in five months.

RADICAL CHANGES
OF MEXICAN LAWS
Call for Vigilance on Part of
Mine Owners to
Avoid Loss.

A leading mining engineer from Mex
leo remarks that it win be well for
not only the newcomers in Mexico,
but the old-time mine owners as well,
TO secure copies of the new mining
code of Mexico and study the new 10 \,
as soon as possible. Unless they do
this they are in great danger of losing
their mines. says the Ell Paso H.,..5
Many of the changes in the new min
ing law. he saws. are so radical that
Ignorance of them may cause the nm
lucky owner to be some dav disnoe-
seSsed unWittingfy of his property and
subject to heavy fine and imprison-
lnent- Among other changes he calls
attention to the following:
The most important article is that
providing for the registration of ALI
mining titles, old and new, under pen-
atty of forfeiture. Titles issued prior
must be registered in their respective
districts before July I, 1910.
A cause of much litigation and cor
fusion under the old law was the fail
ure of mine owners to build substantial
monuments. Under the new law no
title is issued until such monuments
have been placed on the ground.
TfOptENl6S lllIeu uNueE the Ola law
must have monuments built on the
ground before January 1, 1911, or the
right to the property will be lost
should another person denounce it.
The penalty for destroying or removing
any monument from a mining claim
is a fine of 1000 pesos and five years
in the penitentiary.
Any one removing ore from a min
ing claim before the title to the same
has been granted suffers the same
and the forfeiture or loss of
the property.
Legal questions pertaining to mining
properties will be decided by the fed
eral court and all old cases pending
In the state courts concerning mining
rights will soon be transferred to the
federal courts.
As the former privilege of unlimited
exploration zones was much abused.
the new law has reduced the area of
the exploration zone to a radius of
500 meters about an easily distinguish
able point as a center
These are only a few of the radical
changes made which Is behooves In
Festors in mines in Mexico to heed"
he says.
