BOSTON, Oct 21.-Gaunt, haggard,
a wreck, the--Rev. Clarence Virgil
Thompson Richeson, pastor of the I'M
manuel Baptist Church. of Cambridge
Mass, sits today in cell AZ in MUIR
derers row OF the Charles street jail
accused of the murder of nineteen
year-old Avis Linnell, whom he is
said first to have betrayed under
promise of marriage.
The details of the story as they
slowly come to light reveal the crime
of which the young clergyman is ac-
,cused, as one of the most fiendish in
criminal annals. The motive OF the
murder, the police assert, was TO re-
move a troublesome obstable to Rich
eson's marriage to his wealthy fiancee,
Miss Violet Edmands, a woman older
than himself. but possessed of a
fortune of half a million of dollars.
Avis Linnell, the young student #
music at the Boston Conservatory, had
a blameless reputation before she fell
under the spell of the handsome
clergyman. Up to the time indeed
that seated in the bathroom of her
apartment in the Y. w. c. A. building

More Tom Reed Bullion.

Last Monday the stage from Oatman brought in two bars of bullion weigh
 ing 315 pounds, avoirdupois, and valu- ed at over 6O,OOOS. This was from a four weeks cleanup of the mill. The big mill is not yet in commission, only ten stamps now being used in the turning out of bullion, which makes the record of this mill a most wonder ful one. The ore is still maintaining its high values and only this class of ore will be handled until the big mill is in commission, when a lower grade may be put through in emergency cases. The shaft on the main ore body is being carried down to another level and the property thoroughly ex- plotted. Should the new level show
 the same general character of ore the stock of this company should soar above the five dollar mark. So far as developed the mine shows wonderful
 values, and the output of bullion veri-
 ies all the good things that have. been said of the property. With a bigger mill and good water service the pro- duction of the mine will reach about l50,000S per month in the near future.

The Cleopatra Mines.

The first of April the first big pay ment is to be made on the purchase price of the Cleopatra group of mines, in the south part of this county. Af- ter this payment is made the company expect to at once begin extensive de- velopment work on the mines, begin ming with the introduction of machine drills and all machinery necessary to sink shafts, drill the outlying ground and bring in necessary supply of wa- ter to the camp. Engineers reports show that the property has a million or more tons of four per cent copper ore in sight, this ore also carrying values in gold. The property is close to Bill Williams Fork and has been held by location for twenty years by Charles E. Price and others. Recent ly J. w. Morgan and other Kingman men became interested in the property and have been busy getting it to the attention of men capable of handling a big proposition. It is said that the company having options on the mines have the capital back of them sufficient to put them on a pay basis.

Spokane Capital in Arizona.

Charles E. Early, formerly a we'll known mining operator of Rossland, B. C., and other Inland Empire camps, is at the hotel Spokane from Kingman, Arizona. He is a director of the Ruth Gold Mines company, which owns and is operating a large group of mines near Gold Roads, 24 miles from King Dan and l6 miles from Needles, Cal. The mine is being equipped with a tube mill and cyanide plant, costing 67, ,0OOS, and already possesses an ade- quate equipment of mining machinery.
 The main ore shoot on the property has been developed through two shafts, which are 465 feet apart. The ledge so far as prospected shows a width of from to ? feet of ore that is said to average 25S to the ton.
 A number of Spokane people are in- terested in the Ruth company, among them being James Breen, controlling owner of the Cumberland mine at Maiden. Mont, and former United States Senator George Turner, who made his fortune out of the Le Roi mine at Rossland, B. C.-The Spokes- Spokane, Washington.

Ruth Mines Rushing Work.

E. B. Van Deman came in from the Ruth mines last Wednesday and re- ports that everything in and about the property is moving along smoothly. The new shaft on the property has reached depth Of within 59 feet of the level of the old shaft. At the old shaft drift is being run of toward the west to connect with the new shaft. From the breast of this drift the pInnings show greater values than at the shaft, where five feet of ore gave an average value of eos gold to the ton. The drift is all in ore and the body appears to be constantly wid- ening.
 The property is operated by electric power, and compressor is operating two machine drills in the mine. Big headway is being made with the drills, the ground breaking big, and each round of holes cleaning up from five to eight feet.
 The mill is fast getting in shape and within sixty days it ought to be in commission. The output of this mill will certainly add greatly to the gold production of the district this year.
 c. B. VanDeman, president of the corporation, whose good work has brought about such splendid results, is now in the east looking after import ant business.

Red Gap Examined.

Last Monday A. M. Howat, field man for the U. s. Smelling company, and H. w. Price arrived from the Red Gap mine, which property they ex- amined the latter part of last week MT. Howat was well pleased with the mines and especially with the country in which the property is situated. The Red Gap is said to be counterpart of the Gold Grown property, lying in the same formation and having a vein width of somewhat less than the Grown. The work done on the prop erty shows many thousands of tons of ore running above fifteen dollars t, the ton.
