HE return yesterday
iT l from Tuscarora Nev
of Messrs Dickson j
I Ellis Ellis and
I John E Gray olfi
7 l dais of the Dexter j
4 i Mining company
C gave some color to
7
reports that have j
J been in circulation
k for the past few
I
days regarding the
alleged arrests at i
Tuscaroa recently of j
Tuscroa recenty j
E O Lee and A C I
Ellis jr of this city and James W
Linnell of Tubcarora charged with
bullion thefts and embezzlement and
in order to get at the true facts in the
matter a Herald reporter called on Mr
Dickson in the afternoon and in the in
terview that followed Mr Dickson
said
saidOut
Out of consideration for the rela
t PS of Mi j James W Linnell i who are
estimable people I would not have
made public the facts relative to his
arrest but for the reason that it has
7 generally been reported in this city
that E O Lee and A C Ellis jr were
arrested on Saturday last at Tuscarora
at the instance of Mr Linnell and I
feel that it is due to Messrs Lee and
Ellis that the facts in the case should
be made public
Several months ago continued Mr
Bickson the officers of the Dexter
company in Salt Lake became satisfied
that the company was being system
atically robbed At that time we all
had implicit confidence in Mr Lin
iiells integrity He was president of
b the company the general business
manager of the company and a large
stockholder
A few weeks ago some fact came i
to the notice of the officers of the com i
pany here which excited distrust as to I
Mr Linnells honesty and we then
anL n f dOf 1
began diligent investigation i of his con I
duct during the past year or six I
months We knew that he had dis
posed of none of his stock in the com j I
pany tljat his only source of income
was the salary paid him by the com
pany that he had no means when he I I
went to Tuscarora and we knew also l
hat his necessary expenses have been I
while there and wc also learned that
he had to his credit in one of the banks I
of Salt Lake on the 8th of May of this
5 ear a sum of money in excess of all I
that he had received from the com
n
n un
pany deducting his necessary expenses
W also learned that he had an account
with the AngloCalifornia bank of San
Francisco and also a bank account at
Elko Nev
Besides this we came into possession
of facts implicating another employee
of the company and we confronted
this last named gentleman with the
charge whereupon he made what he
claimed to be a full confession of his
participation in the transaction in
which he stated that he and Mr Lin
nell as early as in September of last
year with still another employee of
the company had commeaced the ap
1 ropriation to themselves of a portion
of the proceeds of the companys re
duction works that this appropriation
had continued until the closing down
of the DeFries mill in November last
That during this period the proceeds
so appropriated were kept In sacks un
der Mr Linnells bed in Tuscarora
that 4n November the proceeds so ob
tained amounting in value to 2650
were sent by special messenger to Den
I ver and there sold and the proceeds
q divided between the three The state
1 ment was also made that in February
of the present year the balance of the
proceeds appropriated valued at be
tween 300 and HOO were also sent to
Denver by special messenger and there
sold and the proceeds of the sale were
divided between two of the three par
ties Mr Linnell being one of the t vo
and that In order that the comranv
might not become aware of these oper
ations the actual tonnage of ore treated
at the companys works from week to
week was in the reports to the com
pany reduced s as to correspond with
the bullion and cyanides shipped to
them from time to time
In addition to this continued Mr
Dickson on the 34th of last
1th May 30
pounds of amalgam valued at 750
were stolen This amalgam was kept in
a house occupied by Mr Linnell The
only persons having keys lo this house
were Mr Linnell and Mr Jordan but
we have satisfied ourselves that Mr I
Jordan was not the guilty party On
the evening of the night that this
imalgam was stolen there being then
on hand in Mr Linnells house amal
gam to the value of about S3500 Mr
Lee Mr Ellis and Mr Parsons who is
the superintendent of the company
stated to Mr Linnell that they were
considering the advisability of placing
a guard on watch during the night to
preclude the least possibility of the
amalgam being stolen To this Mr
Linnell demurred and stated that this
was altogether unnecessary as he in
tended being in the house himself all
night and that if he went out at all
during the evening i would be only
t fr a few moments and that in that
hil event he would leave some trusty man
17 there while he was gone There was
rothmg to indicate that either of the
doors or windows of the house had
been tampered with but the next
moining the amalgam was missing and
has never yet been found
On Thursday of last week a letter
was received from Mr Lee stating
that Mr Linnell was circulating the
report that Mr Ellis had stolen the
amalgam Mr Ellis and myself took
the next train for Tuscarora arrlvlnc
there on Friday night and we would
have reached there sooner but for a
delay on the road and the fact that
Tuscarora is 50 miles from the railroad
road On Saturday afternoon Mr Lin I
I nell was sent for and in the companys
ofllce in the presence of Messrs Lee I
Ellis Parsons and L L Archer I

I I stated t him the facts concerning his
I dishonesty in the handling of the
cojnpanys property so far a had come
to the knowledge of the company and
also informed him that the claim had
been made by Mr Parsons that during
the past three months the company
had lost by theft no less than 25000 I
I also stated to Mr Linnell that the
first desire of the company was to re
cover i possible the property that had
been stolen from i and that If he
would assign to some person in trust
for the company his stock and bank
accounts until such time as Jt could
be ascertained definitely what his
shortage was and until he had re
funded the same he might go his way
as far as the company was concerned
but that if any other person should in
stitute criminal proceedings against
him the company would not withhold
from the prosecution any Information
bearing on the case that it possessed
but that if he refused to do this he
would be arrested for the larceny of
the amalgam and for the embezzle 1
ment of the property of the company
Which had come into his hands while
he was managing agent Mr Linnell
made no reply at the time and we left
him During the afternoon he stated
that i he was arrested he would also
cause the arrest of Mr Lee and Mr
Ellis
EllisThat
That same evening we caused the
arrest of Mr Linnell on both charges
whereupon he was admitted to ball
I and lmmediatel he swore to a com
plaint charging Lee and Ellis with the
I theft of the amalgam
The examinations were set for Mon
I day at 10 a m but at that time Mr
I Linnell asked for a continuance of the
hearing of the cases against him for
a period of five or ten days on the
ground of the absence of an alleged
necessary witness which was granted
whereupon the charges against him
were withdrawn as we could not con
veniently t counsel and witnesses
some of whom reside in Salt Lake
return to Tuscarora at that time and
we caused complaints to be sworn out
against Mr Linnell at Elko which is
on the railroad
We then proceeded to the hearing
in the case against Mr Lee and Mr
Ellis There were but two witnesses
sworn by the prosecution neither of
whom so much as mentioned Mr Lees
name In his testimony direct or cross
and only one of the witnesses men I
tioned Mr Ellis in his testimony and
his statement and only the statement
concerning him was that either on the
evening of the 14th or 15th he could I
not say which between the hours of
930 and 10 oclock he saw a gentle I
Aente
man who was on the opposite side of
the street from him whom he took to I
be Mr Ellis walking down West ave
I nue that the gentleman who ever he
j was was walking at an ordinary gait
I and that there was nothing in his
manner calculated to attract attention
j atract atenton
I whereupon the prosecution rested We
Idld not move a dismissal but put Mr
Lee upon the stand and also Mr Ellis
I and Mr Parsons and proved by them
that they were all three together from
i before 9 oclock and until after 1 on
the nighiiihat the amalgam was stolen
being all that time in Mr Lees room
I at the hotel discussing the affairs of
the company the claim of the prosecu
I tion being that the amalgam < by who
soever stolen must have been taken a
I few minutes before 10 oclock
The charge of course was dismissed
against Lee and Ellis without argu
I ment 7
The same evening the sheriff of the
I county received by telephone a copy
I of the warrants against Mr Linnell
Early Tuesday morning the sheriff
placed Mr Linnell under arrest Mr
Linnell promised to be ready to start
with the sheriff for Elko within an
hour but when the time arrived he
refused to go with him claiming that
I he could not be arrested
arested upon a war
rant transmitted by telephone A mes
I senger was then dispatched from Elm
with the original warrants and about
noon Linnell and three of his compan
ions left Tuscacora secretly having
previously secured two buggies which
were stationed west of and out of sight
of the town All four were known to
be armed shortly before their departure
and the last we heard of them the
sheriff and his deputies were in pur
suit of them and at the hour when
we left Elko Tuesday evening we tele I
phoned to Tuscacora and learned that
nothing more had been heard of the
pursued or the pursuers
Since the foregoing was written a
telegram has been received from Elko i
stating that Linnell and party had I
been overtaken and arrested by the
sheriff after a chase of 25 miles I
7 I CLOSING OF SIAMMOTH MILL
j j It Casts a Shade of Gloom Over the
f 7 Entire Camp
Quiet once more reigns in the camo
says the Mammoth Record and there is
a general feeling of despondency but
I it is to be honed that the denrcssion
will he only temporary On Friday
I morning the great Mammoth mill
ceased to receive ore and became silent
Over 5 men who have been ernoloved
in the mill were given their time and
labor are now busv In seeking new fields o
labr Superintendent Fleming was
seen by the Record man on Saturday
and when interrogated concerning the
time when the mill would reopen he
I said it was Impossible at this time to
state but that i was probable that
I unless some concessions were made by
the railroads and smelters it would remain
I main closed for a Indefinite time
When silver was a low a it Is now
the smelter charges and freight rates
were much lower and the mills could
I run 7 without loss but when the price
of silver declined this time their rates
were raised s that there is no profit
in continuing the mills Since Su
contnuing mil Superin
tendent Fleming took charge of the
mill considerable money ha been spent
In repairing and refitting it and o
course it is not to be supposed that the
mill will remain closed longer than Is
necessary
From the best Information which the
Record is able to obtain at this time it
Is inferred that the wheels will be
wheIs wl b revolving
volving again within 30 days or at the
most 60 days as there are toO many in
terests Involved I in the closing of the
I plant to permit i to remain idle longer
than is absolutely necessary
Superintendent Fleming will leave to I
I day for Austin Nev where he will
suend 30 days In putting in his newly
patented boilers and other machinery
in the new mill of the Austin Hilling I
company which he will superintend in
addition t his work here and at Frisco

latest improved pattern with a capac

II STRIKE IN THE LONE TREE j
Another Discovery in Gold Mountain
Mining District
1 The latest of the new mining strikes
is on the Lone Tree standing in the
I thickest o the forest of mines and
I prospevts clustered about the great
and only Sevier In Gold Mountain dis
I trict says the Richfield Advocate Lo
renzo Nleson of Annabella claims the
honor ot the Trees finding in July
1S95 but scarcely anything has been
heard o it until recently when some
good symptoms have been dug up from
around its roots by the original discov
erer and his associate J E Collar
also of Armabella the two backed by
Jonas Ostlund the Elsinore merchant
In 1SDC only the assessment work in I a
16foot shaft asa S and there was
then found little encouragement to go
I ahead Down 40 feet this spring sam
pIe were taken and a 40 gold 6 sil
ver assai was returned The vrtlcle
was pushed ten feet deeper and Then a
crosscut was run 17 feet across the vein I
whose hanging wall has not yet been
reached and whose width Is therefore
undetermined All along the route of
this crosscut Mr Nielson says there
are deposited chunks of ore In which
v
free gold is plainly visible to the naked
eye and in a day or two he expects > o
xecelve certificates that will prove the
Lone Tree an embryo bonanza
The new thing is i 1200 feet west of
the Sevier line and 200 yards north of
the Miller shaft The free gold streak
sre
Is five feet wide according to Nielsons
report and is of talc and quartz mixed
I Only six weeks of labor has been
spent bi the two on the wheel this
year Today they start going down
another 50 feet and when the 100foot
level is reached their intention is to do
some more crosscutting The ledge
they say Is a contact between a dior
ite hanging wall and a porphyry and
although the vein was blind until after
a little depth was attained the contact
is In evidence for a wellmarked mile
above it crumbling two feet of shale A
peculiar feature for that particular
country is that native copper a cas
ing and occasionally copper pyrites or
white Iron are found interspersed in
the ore Another thing breaking the
rule of all its neighbors the Sevier
Miller and General Connor Is the pro
portion of gold and silver values every
thing else in that locality Invariably
showing twice a much worth of gold
as of silver For instance the average
SIS rock of the Sevier Is S12 gold and
JC silver and when a 1800 streak is
fount it is 1200 gold and 600 silver
the same ratio always obtaining Be
tween the Miller and the Lone Tree the
hitters owners have run upon a 20inch
seam christened the Fraction V whose
assays go 10 gold and 3 silver nearer
the neighborhoods schedule of bimetal
lic values
If Mr Nielsons findings a above related
lated by the Advocate are not seriously
amiss the Lone T is certairily des
tined to become one of the real mines of
Gold mountain The trio In charge ex

7 TREATING ZINC ORES
Experiment of Wide Importance t
the Silver Camps
About the middle of this month the
new process for the treatment of ores
containing zinc will blow in at the old
Elgin smelters in Leadville says the II
Denver News The Inventor of the
process Martin Rustenburg E E is
himself on the ground and will experi
ment which means a great deal to tht
mines of Clear Creek and Lake coun
ties In many of which zincbearing
ores are prominent The smelter at
Canyon City deals with this class of
ores buying largely In Georgetown
Leadville and New Mexico Its bul
I lion output is close to 300000 per year
but as the market for its zinc product
I has shown small disposition to increase
I its capacity the process about to be
tried at Leadville is thus described in
the HeraldDemocrat of that city
I There is a mistaken notion that the
process Is a wet one but this is not
I the fact The fire process is used the
furnace being a combination of the
cupola blast and settler For very ob
vious reasons the details of the process
are not made public but the results
are said to be such a to almost effect
a revolution in ordinary smelting meth
ods As mining men well know a
zincous ore is one of the most undesir
able products that mother earth yjelds
Zinc is classed with silica and when
I it runs over S to 10 per cent the miner I
pays a penalty to the smelter Up to
the present time no process has yet
I been found which eliminated the zinc i
satisfactorily I formed wall accre
tions on the inside of the furnaces and I
unless great precautions were taken
freeze them up until they were ren
dered practically useless
I Is proposed however at the fur
nace now under construction to take
ore Carrying say 10 ounces silver 5 per
cent lead and 30 per cent zinc and to
successfully and economically smelt I
I By this method the properties of the
I zinc are themselves utilized in the
I smelting process thus compelling that
I refractory disagreeable and altogether
1 baneful mineral to aid in the work
I I which it had hitherto refused to per
form I is certainly a most striking I
i I example of the Ingenuity of man in
harnessing a powerful force to do his
bidding
The values are saved in two forms
the gold In an iron sponge and the silver
ver and lead in bullion Metallurgists
will appreciate the good work of the
I furnace when it is stated that the slag i
j carries 50 per cent of silica In fact I
Mr Rutherburg states that the per
centage of iron and silica in the slag I I
ordinary of his furnace lead furnace is exactly reversed in the II
I While the present plant is a small 1
one and custom work is not solicited I
the possibilities of the furnace are well j
worth the most thoughtful considera
tion No estimate has ever been at
tempted of the great reserves of zinccus
ores in the camp I is a well known
fact however that in many of the
I large mines of the camp notably the A
Y and Minnie there is an almost
boundless supply that is now of no
more value than a porphyry dump In I
I the Small Hopes the Marian and in I
many of the mines of Fryer hill these
zlncous ores abound while the mines
of the Wasatch range would contribute I
I their share >
I has been stated In connection with I
the new process that it was designed
i I to save the zinc and render it com
I mercially valuable as spelter While
I I the zinc is saved it is not used as a
j commercial product for the simple rea i <
son that there is no market for it i
I
I
j There is only a limited demand for
spelter and the furnaces that produce j
i I more than keep up the supply conse I
i quently there will be no attempt to
I market any spelter that may be pro
I I duced done In time however this may be I

MOTH RECORD JOTTINGS
Remarkably Fine Showing in the
South Willow Mine
Burke and Hayes the Ajax dump
lessees have just shipped two cars of
dry ore which will net them 10 to 12
a ton and three cars O copper which
will run 20 per cent copper and well up
in silver and gold
A rather remarkable showing is being
made at the South Willow near Sliver
Assays have already been made from
the twofoot vein which show 30 per
cent lead over 50 ounces in silver and
some gold and the workings are a yet
only down 16 feet I the values in
crease in proportion as depth Is at
tained the South Willow is tile mak
ing of a magnificent mine
Dan cloud lessee of the Utah
mine left Sunday morning for Colo
rado to figure on a proposition to haul
the ore of Tintic district by team to
the nearest common point and thus cut
off a portion of the increased rate I
this proposition can be carried out it
will furnish employment to many men
district and be of considerable benefit to the
At the Treasure Hill the shaft Is now
down 300 feet but on account of the
large flow of water sinking has been
suspended until a pumping plant can
be put In Superintendent Sealer w s
in the camp yesterday looking for a
pump and as soon as I Is possible to
secure one work will be resumed The I
shaft is being sunk by the side of the
vein which I Is the Intention to tap
at a good depth and work up thus
giving dry work all the way
At the Ajax 15 men were laid off last I
week owing to the fact that the con
tract for supplying 2000 tons of milling
ore to the Sioux mill has been com
pleted The usual two shifts will be
retained and the company will con
tinue to take out high grade ores A
streak of lead carbonate ore ranging
from one to two feet in width has Just
been encountered on the 100 which I
runs 100 ounces in silver and 25 per
tg l
cent lead r ore was followed down i
and a car lot will be marketed as soon
as it can be prepared
Seventyfive men were let out at the I
Mammoth mine last week leaving a
working force of 72 men on the pay
roll Superintendent Nesbit was Inter
viewed concerning the outlook and in
course of the conversation said that no I
lowgrade ore would be taken out of
the mine until some satisfactory ar
ratigement had been made with the
I
p >
I railroads and smelters but the high
j I grade ore would be taken out a usual
I I and some prospecting would be done
I He thought the present force would be
retained with perhaps a few changes
but with the present combination
I i against mining there was scarcely a
probability that the company would
I attempt to resume work on the low
7 grade proposition Superintendent Nes
bit said that he had always been in
favor of a smelter for Tintic district
I and he thought that was the only per
manent solution of the problem which
Is now confronting the mine owners
and hoped some action looking to that I I
end would be taken

NEW COPPER CAMP I MEXICO
Resumption of Work on Ancient
Wealth Producers
A special from Nongales Ariz says A
settlement of the long standing difficulties
I between the owners and claimants of the
I great copper properties in the Cananea
mountains of Sonora Mexico has at last
I been effected On Thursday W C Green
of BIsbee Aria J Storman of Magda
lena Sonora and W S Cranz of Nogales
I Axis I representing i Individually I and col
lectively all tho conflicting Interests held
a conference at Nogales in which acting
under the legal advice of AV P Hnrlow
the previously existing differences were
harmonized and arrangements effected by
which the properties are to be exploited
on a large scale 7
I The properties involved not only In
clude the rich copper mines recently on
I crated by the Cannnea Copper company
1 and those formerly operated by the So
nora Copper company but also embraces
the Cobre Grande and adjacent mines
formerly operated by General Pesauelra
The Cobre Grande commands particular
Interest from the evidences presented of
having been worked on a most extensive
scale centuries ago The ruined smelters
ofllce residence and dwellings all go to
show that there existed a scene of bur
activity now long desolate while the
cemetery near at hand tells that the camp
was loan in existence The ruined forts I
show also that provision was made for
military protection of the people against
the maurading Apache To the practiced I I
eye the slag dumps embracing I thousands
of tons and the vast quarries whence tho I I
ore was taken tell a story of the one I
I time cutout which could it be reduced
to words of description would read like
ka fairy story Now the magic wand of
i compromise has been waved over the dC
I naneas and lilw the palace of Aladdin I
the vanished camp will appear
The properties embraced In the new
deal include about iou pertenercies of
which 1 were claimed by the Canancas I
Copper company
The region has long been famous for
Its vast deposits of copper ores bearlnr
precious metals nnd caoitallsts and In

rection with longing eyes But the Incu
bus of conflicting titles and a fear of pro

Inscton te those who I
pany incidentally checking up
are using the process in the treatment of

i As yet the company has but little Business i
in Montana but Mr Orr believes that
there Is an abundance of ore that can be I

j is now making a trip through Madison I I
I county On his return home to Denver
he will endeavor to have 1 branch office
established in Butte or Helena in charge I I
of a competent man who will assist in

Thus the good work of extracting the
precious metals contained in the rebel
lious ores goes merrily on and it will be I
n hrd combination that will thwart the
