DEAD JAPANESE HAD MONEY
WHICH HAS DISAPPEARED
SINCE KILLING

] That the greater part of ten thou
sand dollars which George Wada, pro-
-prietor of the S. p. Cafe, who was
killed Wednesday noon by Fred r.
Wilson, clerk at the Clarendon hotel,
was known to have had at the time
of his death, has unaccountably dis
appeared, was made known yesterday
by the members of the local Japanese
colony who are investigating the
events which led up to the shooting
of their country man, The announce
ment that the Japanese was possessed
of this amount of cash a short time
prior to his death, and that the ma
jority of it has disappeared, has given
a new turn to the official investigation
of the shooting which may develop
startling surprises.
The sum of one thousand dollars,
the location of which many of the
dead mans friends knew, is all the
money that can be found. This is in
the possession of prominent local
Japanese, and will be turned over to
an administrator as soon as the mem
bers of the colony here can agree upon
a man to act in this capacity. In the
meantime an effort is being made to
trace the remainder of the cash. But
a short time ago Wada added three
thousand dollars in cash to other saw
ings which, at that time, say his
friends, amounted to nearly seven
thousand dollars. 1t was his intention
to return to Japan in the near future,
with the comfortable fortune of ten
thousand dollars intact upon his ar
rival in his own country.-Journal

GAEL HoAe CONDEMNS
THE WEN0ovER ROUTE

Gael s. Hoag, secretary of the
Nevada State Automobile Association,
recently returned to Ely from tour
over the proposed Wendover route,
leading from Salt Lake City west
along the Western Pacific railroad
He states that the grade of the road.
bed of the railroad is from three to
six feet above the level OF the ground
and is composed of dirt and rock
hauled In from beyond the lake bed.
In his opinion the auto road never
could be built and maintained on ac-
count OF the tremendous expense Of
hauling in the material. During wet
seasons he states that the accumu-
lated water along the roadway not
infrequently reaches the rails them
selves, and therefore submerges all
the surrounding country. There is
plenty of salt water along the route
but mot a drop to drink" for q dis
lance of % miles, which is the dis.
tance between wendover and Deli
station. Water for railroad men and
section men along this distance Is
hauled In by railroad. During the
dry season the alkaline dust along the
proposed route would be unbearabIe
as there Is frequently strong wind
along over the dry lake bed which
carries the salt and dry dust alont
with that terrlfic speed.

CARSON MYSTERY
IS CLEARED UP
SUICIDE is AUTHOR OF ANoNY-
NOUS LETTERS RECEIVED
BY HIMSELF

Yesterday afternoon the inyest1ga.
ton of Sheriff Stern and District At
torney Chartz, came to an end in the
Blackwell mystery and the officers are
now convinced that the ANONYMOUS
letter claimed to have been received
oy Mr.. Blackwell never went throueb
the postoffice and was the work of his
own hand There was only one anony-
nous letter turned over to the officers
by Mr.. Blackwell, though two Others
were claimed to have been burned by
him. The letter was made by cutting
from newspaper letters with which
words would be formed. The letters
were pasted on half sheet of writing
paper torn from a tablet which bore
the water mark of New Irish Linen"
and were pasted on the paper with
mucilage, says the Carson News.
The News further says that paper
similar to that on which the letters
were pasted was found in the house.
as was also partly used bottle of
mucilage. Mrs. Spooner, housekeep-
er for Blackwell made a statement
relating to the firing of hay stacks
on the Black well ranch, which plain
ly indicates that Blackwell set the
fires and fixed up the anonymous let
ters. The general opinion now is that
Blackwell believed the coils of the
law were being drawn around him.
He knew he was guilty and rather
than face the law he killed himself.

PLATINUM FOUND
IN BOSS Mine
PRESENCE OF VALUABLE METAL
REPORTED IN ORE FROM
GooDsPRINGS MINE

A remarkable discovery has been
made in the ore of the Boss mine in
the Goodsprings district, says the Las
Vegas Age. Fos some time the as
says made of gold have shown pecul-
iarities and the mine assayer reported
the presence of platinum. Numerous
assays were made by him for the pre-
cious metal with the same result, the
platinum values showing from 6 to
65 ounces per ton.
To confirm these assays samples of
the ore was sent to Ledoux, ANALYTICAL
chemist, New York, and to Dunlap, of
the United States Geological Survey.
Messages have been received from
both the above confirming the ASSAYS
Of Mr.. Riddal
In addition to the above, word has
been received that the government is
sending a representative of the geo.
logical survey to the district to in
vestigate the astonishing discovery.
A, shipment of ore sent to the smell
ter recently and which returned 5000
per ton in gold is now found to have
contained an additional value of $500
more Of platinum.
Platinum is very precious metal,
being now quoted on the market at
$55 to $50 per ounce, approximately
three times the value of gold. The
worlds supply has been produced in
Ural mountains in East Russia, from
placers. In America little or no plati-
mum Is produced, small amount be-
ing found in Wyoming and small
amounts in portions of California. A
small amount of platinum exists in the
Key West mine in the Bunkerville dis
trict in this county. 1t is now believed
by the best informed mining men
that platinum exists in paying guam
titles In several properties in this
section. If SO, wonderful impetus
will be given to the mining industry
of this section.

WARRANTS OUT FOR
PROMINENT men
HARVEY RUTHERFORD AND T. q.
SWEENEY, OF ToBAR, CHARGED
WITH TRESPASs

AS result of a mixup at Tobar
last night; two of the best known men
in that vicinity are under arrest this
morning charged with trespass and
destroying the property of another
man, The two men are Harvey Ruth
erford. prominent business man
and T. B. Sweeney.
1t is alleged that the two men en-
tered the property of another man, c.
Hoaglin, at Tobar, and tore down a
building on the property. Telephone
messages from there indicate that the
trouble started over the Tobar Mer-
camille litigation some time ago. The
Mercantile Company's building at
that time was on the property Of an
other man and since that time has
been moved to the property of Mr..
Hoagin and this trouble was in
some way mixed UP with that litiga-
tion. The matter is little bit mixed
and the definite details could not be
ascertained.
