aauowa. Hua name, accused 01 mur
derlQK Mrs. Anna Aldrich last Friday
.and conce-llng her 'body under 'a tree
on the north, fork of the CpppeL ad
heres to his first story that he drove
.the woman to Waltsburs; and saw her
board the train for Walla Walla. Of-
ficere-are wondering what Barnes will
do when he is told , that the body has
been found.
Barnes Is developing; a, mentality that
tampa him. In the opinion of the of
ficers, un a cold-blooaed fiend, and it
is believed be will try to brave It out
Q UK lail. - i "-3.-'
The coroner's Jury thla morning re
turned a verdict that Mrs, Aldrich came
to her death from fractures of the skull
caused by some blunt instrument or Im
plement in the hands of a party or par
ties unknown.. , A bloody pick handle,
the weapon that caused her death,-was
exhibited to that-Jury. The handle was
picked up by B.' W. Griffith about 100
feet from the spot Where the body was
found. Near by wag a pool of dried
blood, and a few feet away,' Midden be
neath leaves, was found a woman's
aatche). .
- mo theory la that Barnes and Mrs.
.Aldrich started to cruise timber on the
hillside. In passing among the trees,
Barnes, it Is held, stepped behind her
and dealt her a terrific blow on the
back of the head with tha pick handle,
when ahe fell he continued to rain
blows on her head, which he pounded to
ft pulp. It Is thought he then picked her
body up and carried It about 100 feet
to the spot where K was found. ,
-. The very crudeness of the plan Of
murder stamps the murderer as an Ig
norant country boy, but with the heart
Of a brute.
The police have Information that
Barnes endeavored to get two women
Inmates of a disorderly house to testify
they were Mrs. Aldrloh's relatives and
that she was going, pn. a trip and had
turned over her ranch ana other prop
erty to Barnes. f
1h officers believe Bud Barnes' two
brothers were not connected with the
actual crime, butwere aware that the
woman was to tee put out of the way.
For boys, they are displaying great
nerve, whether innocent of guilty. Tha
sheriff declares he is piling up evidence
against Barnes.

This money will be used to develop our own properties, as well as the lease, until every one of them is
placed in the dividend class, and we are dividing with our patrons the monster profits that will most certainly
be their reward. As was stated yesterday we would do , . v. '
We Began Cross-Cutting Today on the 250 Foot Level From the Chcdd Lease
We have been enabled to do this on an arrangement With the Chedd management, as heretofore explained,
, by letting these people sink a compartment shaft between our claims, (to be used by them for air purposes, as
required by Nevada's mining laws,) at one third the expense to us it would have cost us had we done the
work independently for Ourselves. Then their permitting us to crosscut from their level puts us ahead three to
four months, and that much nearer the day of dividends, which cannot at best be more than three to four months
from now. It may be much earlier than that, yet we are sure that those good friends who have so freely bought
our 3-cent stock will be perfectly satisfied if they get their money back two or three times over within four
months of the time of investment. v '
POSITIVELY THIS HAS BEEN A HURRICANE SALE OF THE BEST GOLD MINING STOCK
Ever marketed on the North Pacific coast, and at so small a price that we have set the pace for all other mining
companies that shall follow us. We take it that, hereafter, the people will be privileged to. buy the promotion
stock of all new' mining enterprises launched on this market, and that never again will a favored few be let in
on that class of securities at the starting price of 3, cents per share, and later the treasury stock sold at 10 cents
or better to the world. Of course, all miners know that there must be promotion and there must be treasury
stock, but why sell the promotion to a little coterie of often little fellows, and charge the great hearted ones who
so patiently help to develop the mine a higher price for the shares they buy, without giving them a chance at
the first issues?
IVe Have Given this Chance and Dave Won a Mighty Victory
Our secretary's ability has been taxed to the uttermost, every day this week, issuing certificates to happy buyers, and it
is likely the work will not be lessened unti the sun hasset pn Sunday evening, and
Then the 3-CcntDoor Will be Closed Never to be Opened to the World Again
We caanot refrain from again calling attention to the fact that all these shares cover FOUR full-fledged mining claims,
in addition To a lease on the most productive gild mine on the face of the earth on this globe in this world.
It is the biggest Mine, it Is the richest Mine it is the monster Mine ot Christendom
And our shaft is being sunk perpendicularly down to the vein that has created mining comment and gold mine wonder In every
intelligent mining center beneath the stars. : s K ?. " ' ,
