We take out twelve or fifteen thousand dollars worth of gold from it every year When I went up there with my two sons we had scarcely any money, and it took ten years work, with pick and shovel before we could purchase our hydraulic machinery. Working the old way he made only about thousand dollars year from which we managed to put aside four or five hundred. Now we have a $2O,- 900 plant. with mile of piping and everything modern. We finished our piping May 1, and though our running expenses since then have been $50 a day. we manage to clear $55 day over that. which makes 1t pretty easy for the old gentlman.

BOTH DEAD BODIES
 REMAIN UNIDENTIFIED

Investigation of the dead body found in a trunk on the hillside yesterday af. ternoon disclosed no identity of the dead, but it is believed that it is the body of an Indian, as the place where it was found was formerly used by the natives as burying ground.
 The body of the dead man found floating in the channel near Salmon creek is still unidentified. There was absolutely nothing found on the body that would serve as clue.

old, who was arrested here yesterday
on suspicion of being implicated in
the Strauss murder mystery in New
York, was committed to the Essex
County Jail for thirty days by Acting
Judge Rooney In the First Criminal
Court today on a charge of lettering.
On complaint of Joseph Pasquale,
of 245 Plane street, Acting Judge Roo

Goldfarb with the Strauss murder
The girl, who apparently is no more

Detectives from this city who were

AUTO|STS FLEE
AFTERFATALLY
INJUR|NG GIRL
Miss Mary Mcdowell, of Belle
vile, Dies Few Hours After
Accident.
MACHINE PUTS ON SPEED,
LEAVING VICTIM IN STREET
Girl Tossed High in Air by Car
Bound in Direction of
Newark.

The Belleville police said today they
had obtained an important clue in
their search for the automobile which
last night killed Mary Mcdowell,
eighteen years old, of Mann street,
Belleville, as she was alighting from
a northbound trolley car at Washing
ton and Greylock avenues, Belleville.
Just what is the nature of the infor
nation they say they have the police
refused to disclose today, but asserted
they have great hopes of finding the
machine which disappeared in a
cloud of dust in the direction of this
city after the accident
So quickly was the girl struck and
so fast did the driver of the machine
guide the car away that witnesses of
the killing were unable to obtain a
clear view OF the license plate. Several
numbers were given to the police by
witnesses as belonging to the car, and
these are being traced today.
Miss Mcdowell was on her way to
her home from the Columbia Steam
Laundry, Halsey street, this city,
where she is employed, when the ae-
cident happened. AT Greylock ave-
nue. the trolley car came to a stop and
she alighted from the front platform.
Car Crew shouted wsrning.
As Albert Jacobus, the motorman,
closed the door and waited for the
conductors signal to start, the girl
hurried around the front of the car
So intent was she on passing in front
of the car before it started that she
failed to notice the approach of the
automobile from the north. Witnesses
say the motor was modern touring
car. The top was up, and this and
the dust-covered windshield so effectu-
ally hid the driver and other occu-
pants that persons who saw the acci-
dent we're unable to say how many
were in it and whether a. man or
woman was at the wheel. The car, 1t
is said, was going at least forty miles
an hour.
As the fast-moying machine bore
down on Miss Mcdowell, Jacobus, the
motorman, and James Mccormick, a
starter for the Public Service Rail
way Company, who also was on the
front platform, shouted warning.
Their voices, however, could not be
heard through the closed doors and
windows of the platform, and Miss
Mcdowell walked directly in the path

placed under arrest two other men
standing nearby broke away from the
crowd and ran toward a woods. The
police gave chase but failed to catch
them. One of the latter threw away
several spurious coins in his escape,
