IOWA MURDER MYSTERY STILL

VlLLlSCA, Ia, June I'm. w.
McClaughery, the Bertillon expert of
the federal prison at Leavenworth,
kas., who was called here to make rec
ords of the bloody finger prints left
by the murderer of the Moore fam.
lily and their guests last Sunday night,
is in Omaha in consultation with Chief
of Police Donahue.
McClaughery is convinced that some
one familiar with the Moore family
and the house committed the mur-
ders.
"The man who did that knew the
family, knew their habits and the ar
rangement of the house." said Nc
Clauery. Everything goes to show
he first murdered the two Stillinger
girls downstairs, then went up and
killed the Moore family on the sec
ond floor. No one not familiar with
the house could have done that work
without awakening some one, especial
ly since the Stillinger girls were sleep
ing in strange apartment"
The murder was not the work of a
maniac, according to McClaughery's
belief, but rather of scheming, re-
vengeful murderer.

Mrs. John Crosby of Salamanca,
state of Guanajauto, Old Mexico, who
passed a couple of days in this city
visiting with old friends and school
mates, was a homeward bound pas
senger this morning. En- route she
will stop in Texas until more har-
monious relations are established be-
tween the citizens of Madero's realm.
Her brother, Theodore Luttrell, who
accompanied her to Durango, returned
to Silverton this morning.
County Superintendent Mrs. Ro-
sepha Pulford, who has been vibrating
between Fort Lewis and Durango for
the past ten days, came in last night,
and went out again this morning. A
portion of her hand baggage was a
sufficient amount of asparagus for
dinner for the seventy-two hungry
school ma'ams who are attending in
stitute. In addition to her various
other duties Mrs. Pulford is giving
daily lectures on school law. Her

SMALL SON OF JAY
TURLEY DROWNED

A report comes from Turley, N. M,
that the 6-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jay Turley was accidentally
drowned in the San Juan river Sun
day.
The little lad, in company with an
other boy of the same age, had been
sent to the river for water. AS they
started to leave, the bank caved in,
throwing the Turley child head first
into the treacherous stream.
The body has not yet been recover

EUREKA HILL ORES
STILL ATTRACTIVE
Old-Tine Producer Being
Mined to Good Purpose
by Leasers.

Reports from TIntic arc that the old
Eureka Hill property is giving forth some
silver ores that remind one OF the olden
times. This old producer Is now In the
hands Of leasers after several decades
Of company operations. and the leasers
are reported to have sent out some rock
during the week that ran several hun
dred ounces silver to the ton. They are
meeting with good success at the various
points given attention.
The Eureka Hill mine Is composed of
about twenty acres OF ground, within
which about twenty miles OF development
work has been done, or one mile TO the
acre. The property In the early days sent sen
train loads OF rich silver ore to the
smelters and checks were received by
the company for shipments which neces-
STATED the hurrying Of case reserves
from headquarters to tho smelling plants
OF the west.
Present operations demonstrate that
leasers can operate profitably when the
owning company cannot. md the year
Is likely to be well provided with rich
shipments from this one location.

Spite of an Ordinarily

1000. 900 pounds over the best month OF

ing the second largest In It's history. July

WHY NEW COPPERS
ARE So DELAYED
Working Out of Problems
Something That Takes
Time and Patience.

There has been a considerable amount
OF wondering done by stockholders Of
some Of the newer copper propositions
over the slower rate OF progress that has
been made In several instances than was
anticipated. There ere cases where
either mine OF mill conditions arc far be-
low expectations, resulting in delays In
getting into the successfully producing
class In this line the following comment
OF Thompson. Towle & Company will
prove interesting:
Ono OF the foremost mining engineers
IN the country, who Is closely Identified
with the porphyry copper mines, when
asked rs TO why certain OF these stocks
had not discounted to a greater extent
future earnings and dividends, says;
The new porphyry mines. now in the
process Of equipment in certain instances
have been confronted with minor prob
tails which have necessitated a longer
Time for bringing these properties UP TO
their normal producing capacity. In
general the troubles have been confined
and tuning up the plants has been nee
esssry In this respect, however. the
condition at the newer properties is much
me same as that experienced by Utah
copper In the early stages OF production.
Certain OF these newer mines. after a
considerable time spent In tuning up, are
now emerging from this adjustment pc
rlod. and ! believe that from this time
on steady Improvement will be shown as
TO extraction, production and costs.
While IT Ia true the properties have been
lagSards IN reaching their normal ca
pacity. on tho other hand the cost OF
production has been most gratifying, eN-
ceeding our previous estimates, and this
has been attained with the plants but
partially completed
From market point OF view, stock
holders should not be discouraged. II the
purchasers Of the stocks of the new. large
porphyry mines around present quota
tlons are only content to await results
they should ultimately be rewarded with
large profits. | believe there arc few, "
any. stocks which offer the exceptional
opportunity presented by tho porphyry
mines, as they combine safety with large
speculative possibilities"

SALTED MINES AND
THEIR UNEASY ECHO

The interesting question has arisen in
the courts Of the state Of Colorado as to
the criminal liability OF a person de-
frauding a corporation, ono attorney
raising the issue that Inasmuch as cor
porations cannot be arrested on criminal
charges his client should not be subject
to prosecution because he hit corpora
ton below the belt. 1t appears that this
client had INDUCED in the time -honored
pastime OF sailing mine MS a prclim-
inary 10 passing the same over TO q COR
poration at n comfortable figure beyond
the intrinsic value thereof. The lower
court has held that the client was liable
to prosecution under the state laws
touching upon this same sailing process.
and the case likely will be carried to the
higher courts
Tho point raised. however, really was
based upon the absence Of the word COR
poration from this state statute, the sec
ton under discussion reading that Every
person who shall mlngle or cause TO be
mingled with any gold or silver bearing
ore with intent to deceive. cheat or de-
fraud any person or persons etc"
1t all serves to recall Tecolections Of
sailing cases, many OF which partake OF
the classical in their perfection. In this
particular case the defendant did a poor
Job, three assays on his doctored ore be-
ing s5es. s5S and 5000 per ton. There
was a deplorabe lack Of the artistic in
this job

issued by the United States geological
survey, Is series OF maps showing the
known coal fields OF the United States.
These maps arc printed on scale OF
about forty miles to the inch. and II
pieced together would make n map the
size OF a large six-foot wall map issued
by the survey. The various classes Of
coal areas are indicated by a variety OF
colors. The coal fields are shown to have
wide range, both TO character OF
