RICH ORE LOCATED
 IN BROAD PASS COUNTRY
 SEWARD, July 1O.-To take out a pound of gold, two hundred dollars worth. in one week by the operation of an arastra is the extraordinary re- suit of the work of J. B. Slater who has arrived in the city with the brick from Broad Pass where his property is located. Mr. Slater has been work ing on his property. the Independence group, for some time with the aid of a horse to pack the ore down the hill to the arastra. To secure the pound of gold he crushed less than half dozen tons of ore. The ledge from which the ore was taken is a cross one about two and one half to three feet in width. The main ledge is from three to twenty feet in width. John Fitzpatrick, who owns property on the same ledge has had the rock assayed by the most emi- nent members of the profession and has now in his possession returns which are over seven hundred dollars to the ton in some instances. He has his ledge uncovered for nine hundred feet and has long stretches of tun- nels. all of which work has served to confirm the opinions held of the great value of the rock--(seward CaLewayl

Aerial transportation will be with us in very short time says letter received at the Governors office from the governors of the Aero Club of America. The letter continues. rho military authorities increasingly se- were requirements for military air craft have caused an incredibly swift progress. and have caused the devel- opment of efficient aircraft that can compete with the best beans of trans compete with the best means of trans portation is swiftest and can com pete economically in places where transportation is slow.
 "It Is less than seven years the letter goes on to say since the world stood in wonderment at Wilbur Wrlght's flight of two minutes. made at height of thirty feet Today the duration record of flight is 24 hours l2 minutes without stopping and she altitude record 26,246 feet
 Under the present conditions, when war brings back the primal re- strictions. we read in amazement such reports as the flight of a squad ron Of aeropianes from England to France. to Germany and to Russia and vica versa. We appreciate now. as few of us appreciated when Gar ros flew from France to Africa, cross ing the Mediterranean; and Brinde- ionc de Moulinais flew from Paris to st. -Petersburgh-the marvel of air conquest
 "As has aptly been pointed out by some of our authorities. if aeronautics has growr from an experiment to such wonderful proportions in less than ten years-a progress unparalleled even in the history of the automobile may we not expect to see 100000 air crit in use within five years, one miilion in ten years and as many as there are automobiles in twenty years?
 Faster transportation and better intercommunication have been the two most important factors in the progress Of civilization They have been the arteries and vains of civil. ized life. The Civil War could not take place today because fast trans portatio n and intercommunication have brought the States into such close relationship that conditions not desirable by the country as whole would be eliminated by public opin- ion. And in the short period of fifty years there have been solved haras- sing problems of transportation and intercourse which Q half century ago seemed unsolvable.

BEDFORD-Bates Huntsman 70 years old. member of a prominent family in this section, was arrested here recently on Q charge of murder growing out of the recent unearthing on farm near Siam, Ia., of treas. ure chest said to contain $9O,00O.
 The alleged murder is said to have occurred in 1868, when a weakhy cattleman and his son were killed.
 Henry Scribner, O wealthy farmer was arrested the day following the arrest of Huntsman in connection with the charge against the formed He was released on a bond of $5,OOO. Huntsman, unable to give bonds. went to jail. A third warrant re- mains to be served.
 Money Buried on Farm
 The money taken from the cattle man was buried on the farm, and in after years, 1t was said by officials today. Frank and Jesse James made several visits to the scene of the crime in an effort to locate the treas ure.
 The murder warrants are the di- rect result of the plans of Samuel Anderson. of Lucas, Ia.. to file suit against Huntsman. his alleged accom- plices to recover a fourth part of the buried treasure. Anderson claims to have been employed to dig the money up about twelve years ago, and told his attorney. W. W. Bull man, of Charlton, that he had kept silent about it because of inability to reach m agreement with the three men regarding a division.
 In preparation for the trial the attorney general disclosed the facts in connection with the operations of notorious counterfeiter's gang that in 1868 is supposed to have been re- sponsible for the death of the cattle man. The identity of the victims was never disclosed.

DIES MONIES Attorney General Cosson today assigned c. A. Robbins, of his office. to take personal charge of the investigation of the alleged murder of a wealthy cattleman and his son by a gang of counterfeiters in 1868. which resulted today in the issuance of warrants for three men, prominent in the vicinity.
 Mir. Robbins said tonight that the investigation so far conducted by the attorney generals office had devel- oped:
 That in 1868 a gang of counterfeit CTS. composed of five men, had oper- ated near Siam. Ia. They had ten acres of land directly adjoining that subsequently, occupied by Samuel An derson, who dwelt in frontier ca- bin.
 In 1868 this cabin was occupied by widow. Mrs. Floyd Collins, and her children. Nearby dwelt her daughter who had married Jonathan Dark; member of the gang The counterfeiters used as a rendezvous a cave nearby

Early m the Tall or l6bo the gang began to talk of the expected visit of a cattle buyer. who was coming into that section to buy cattle and hogs. build immense corrals and fat ten the stock for market. They knew he would bring the cash with him as there were no banks in the coun try in those days. They also knew he would make an overland trip. as no railroads invaded that territory for miles around.
 On a moonlight night in Septem- Der the Collins children heard a dis. turbance near the cabin Marie, a daughter, who was 14 years old, went out on the porch to investigate.
 She heard mems voices, who seem ed be coming nearer. Suddenly the men turned the corner upon her They were carrying something heavy and limp as an old quilt. The body was that of fine appearing man, whose clothing was of the best.
 Girl Promises Secrecy
 Not far away a youthful member of the gang was holding an OK team. In the wagon was the chest Seeing the girl the men turned upon her and compelled her to promise never to reveal the facts to any living per son.
 The body was placed in an old abandoned well where it was care fully covered The chest was buried ne ar the spring. The girl was com pelled to wash the blood from the quilt and remove the telltale stains from the clothing of the bandits.
 Investigators from the attorney generals office have learned that the stock buyer and a boy compaD- ion much have been waylaid on their way from the Eph Oxley farm, past the outlaws cabin, to Newmarket, Ia. They waited for their victims where the road winds around a locust grove. concealing their own oxen be- hind the brush.
 After the man had been killed the boy dropped to his knees end begged for his life. but member of the gang struck the lad on the head with an ax, dragging the body to glade in the locust groce. where t was bur led with brush.

 Freddie Welsh, lightweight cham. pion of the world, has retired from the ring for at least two months. He made that announcement when he stopped in Chicago for few hours on bis way to Los Angeles from New York.
 Ever since he won the champion ship from Willie Ritchie a year ago, Welsh has been in training practical ly without a break Although he has not participated in any twcnty-round battles. he has been in action in ten- round no-decision towns on an aver age of once in two weeks.
 His remarkable activity has not been confined to the prune-picking process. He has taken on about ey- cry boy who had any claim to recog- hilton from the title-holder. He went against Charlie White, the hardest hitting boy in the lightweight diyis- ion, three times. The only one he has shown any disposition to stay away from is Willie Ritchie, and that was for financial reasons. Welsh and Harry Pollock never have forgiven Ritchie for the terms he forced upon them when the title fight was put on in London.

An Erratic Market.

The moving principle Of a market like
that In Crucible, II Is explained, Is that
OF a gyrosCope. While the wheels con-
tinue to go round things are safe enough.
When the wheels stop the market topples
over. A resumption of the advance or
a wide open break In the stock vas.
therefore, predicted for yesterday. As a
matter OF fact neither happened. The
market was erratic, but the trading
quoted down greatly, and on the whole
the stock showed considerable power OF
resistance to pressure. The fluctuations
were the result of conflicting influences.
The uprush at the opening was made on
an thrush of new buying from outside
spectators received before the opening.
The public, II is obvious, far from being
deferred from buying by furious adj
vances In the war stocks and equally
large setbacks, seems to accept them as
natural in a war market. The good

along, was reported esumed. Against
this there was again heavy profit taxi

ests whose operations were instrumental
in forcing the fnal fiareup n also on
the part of the trading element which.

In odd lots is large, Houses with private
wires as usual have n great many clients
who invest in fractional lots. and owing
to the activity in the war stocks" a
large number of New York spectators
are trading in odd lots. A prominent
odd lot dealer explained that clients OF

of executions and said that it should be
appreciated that "A condition often eX-
listed over which the dealer had no

boys on the tloor Of the exchange are

the exchange that orders frequently are
delayed in reaching the different stocks.
During the present market the fuctua-
tions in many OF the stock are SO rapid
as to cause customers to c~riticise the
execution of orders. Another reason
why customers are so often dissatisfied
is the fact that they are unwilling to
make allowance for two or three and
sometimes six or eight minute delay in
the recording of sales on the tape. II
is a fact that nev, T. before in the history
of the stock Exchange has one been

Amalgamated stock is now in process
Of exchange into Anaconda stock.
There was no market for the former
yesterday. Holders OF Amafgamated
have exchanged their stock for interim
certificates of deposit, against which
they will receive new Anaconda stock
as soon as the new certificates are
issued, This, it is expected, will take
place in a couple of weeks. In tho
meantime. II the holder OF Amalgamated
wishes to get out he may sell Anaconda
short. borrowing against the delivery of
his own stock. Anaconda was strong
Yesterday. Some observers are wonder
ing what would happen in case the
stock had a decided squirt. Presumably
quite a number of holders OF the old
amalgamatcd stock would wish to liqui-
date. In this way. a large artificial
short interest might BE- created. Con-
ccivably it might he large enough to
cause a premium TO be demanded for
the borrowing OF stock and thus produce
n sort OF mechanical corner. In the old
days sue an opportunity to run in
