Especial to Silver State.l

| RENO, Feb. 18.-This morning the
Journal received the following wire
from DR.. Morrison at Cedarville:
An autopsy and inquest has just
been finished on the remains of the
four sheepmen murdered here some
time last month, at Denio's ranch,
three miles from the scene of the
crime. Weatner is intensely cold, the
mercury registering IL degrees below
zero. The bodies of the murdered men
were found piled up in heap and
frozen together solid, with the fingers,
noses and wounds gnawed by mice.
All clothing had been taken, except
that soaked with blood, which con-
firms the theory that the unfortunate
men were forced to disrobe before be-
ing shot.
Harry Cambron had been shot four
times, through the chest, butte1icks,
elbow and head. His body was nude,
with the exception of drawers. His
arms were extended over his head.
Cambron was unmarried.
Erramouspe had also been shot four
times, once each in the head, chest,
left and right thigh. Upper lip. with
heavy moustache, had been removed.
Lining of chaps, pants and one boot,
all covered with blood, were left.
Erramouspe leaves a wife and two
children.
Laxague was shot once in the chest.
His shirts were pulled over his head
and drawers had been pulled down be-
low knees. Right eye was black.
Leaves wife and two children.
Indiana was shot three times, once
in the shoulder and twice in the head.
Left eye out, and upper lip and cheek
shot away. Hole in back Of head, one
by two inches. Unmarried.
All the shots were fired by $3.50
high h-power rifles, except two, which
were from .38 pistol. The camp was
fortified, and indications are that the
men expected trouble.
It is now considered certain that the
work was done by Indians. The tracks

field FOR ORE.
DRESSING FACTORY

1t seems like paradox to say that
mining problems are for the most part
metallurgical problems, but this II
nevertheless true if we view mines "A
properties which have proven their
value. Given body of ore, the prob
lem Of breaking it down and transport
ing it to the surface is a much small
Ter factor than that of knowing what
to do with the ore after it is brought
forth. While improvements are made
in the methods by which ores are de-
veloped and taken out of a mine. the
great field of study is that which deals
with their subsequent treatment. In
a recent book Robert H. Richards has
remarked that the business Of ore
dressing should be a profession in it.
self, and it may perhaps be said that
this is already the case in some in
stances. 1t is to be noted that most
of the discussion concerning advances
in cyanide practice deal, not with
cyaniding itself, but with the means of
preparing and manipulating the pulp.
In the broad sphere of classification.
the varieties of ends sought and the
means to attain them are SO diverse
that engineers are confronted with the
need Of more precise terminology to
define their ideas
This simply leads to the considera-
tion that mining becomes more and
more manufacturing business. Tie
thought is not new one, but the evi-
dence of it's growth may be seen in
any direction one may turn. Milling
methods occupy more attention from
the mining profession than any other
subject of equal Importance. EN-
phasis is also being laid upon the mill
ing of ores and the factory nature of
the processes because the proper treat
ment of ores at or near the mines is
recognized as the best means Of re-
claiming idle properties from their
idleness. Another end to be gained by
such emphasis is that of convincing in
vestors in mines that the mineral in
dustry is as much dependent upon
technical processes as any branch of

capital for mining enterprises are fire.
queDtly in ignorance, not only Of the
problems themselves, but
of the necessity of attacking them.
1t is often remarked that the i'm
provements in metallurgical process
make available large bodies Of ore
or discarded. In this case
there is confusion of ideas, for it is
the disappearance of the bonanza
mines in many districts that has COM
PEELED the improvements in metallur-
gical processes. Especially is it true
that the deterioration of the average
ore values has called for the perfection
Of local treatment methods. Below
certain grades of ore the custom
smelter becomes a prohibited luxury.
The ideal toward which we are tend
ing is that each mine should be an ore
dressing factory, and that ore Dress
ing factories shall be built upon old
mines that are idle, assuming of
course that these old mines deserve it.
1t is quite generally acknowledged
that the foregoing statement repre-
sents the situation in some Of the old
mining districts of Colorado. It has be-
come the part of those men who are
versed in the ore dressing business to
point the way.-Mining Science.

The Stolen Property.

Captain Donelly gives the following
description of the articles stolen from
the murdered men:
Five horses. One bay horse, white
stripe on face, white feet, weight HOO
5 years old and branded H. P. on left
shoulder, 76 on left side.
Bay horse. White stripe on fore
head, stripe on left shoulder, J. A. on
left side.
,Sorrel horse. Light name and tail,

One gold, open-face watch, number
1897 ,S31.
One silver hunting case watch; G.
H. Cambron name on back
The lava beds are not far from the
place where the murder occurred, ac-
cording to advices from men familiar
with the north, and it is believed by
these men that the Indians, if Indians
did the killing, have struck for this
portion of the country. In the lava
beds they would be able to put up a
good battle and a bloody fight might
result in case they are overtaken.
