Was Struck Blow on Head. MwTTMWW"!" . I . ,i . .m. n f 1 r MYSTERIOUS Shares (Era ft By Hi UACU TV (Tatted Preu led Wire.) & San Francisco, July 11. Arreati are expected , today In the mysterious case of the murder of 'John Buchlnoff. 14 years old, who was killed by a blow on the head yesterday afternoon an J thrown Into a bin of garbage at the sanitary reduction, where his slayer evldenly believed It would be Incinerat ed and all trace of the crime destroyed. "Kverv ateD we take in the . caeo confirms my belief that the boy was murdered," said Captain Kelly, head uf the detective force, today. "The fiend ish plan of having the body burned in the garbage plant was not the work of an ordinary criminal." Kvery driver who took a load of gar Dana to the Incinerator yesterday is under surveillance today and they are being closely examined. The detectives also , are making a close investigation of the reoord of Fred Buchlnoff. father of the murdered boy, who suddenly ap peared at the reduction works last night when the body was found and explained that he had been searching for the miss ing lad. The Buchlnoff home is nine blocks from the reduction plant, and the detectives can't got a satisfactory explanation from the man how he hap pened to be searching for his son there. The mother of the dead boy called at the morgue today and opening the eyes gazed for five minutes Into the'n. She la a Russian of the peasant type, and the detectives learned frm her that she believes the picture of a mur derer Is always preserved in the eye of the victim. The father accompanied her .and they chanted in Russian all the time they were in the morgue. The mother felt the body of the boy from head t foot, passing her hands over it in a manner which aroused the curiosity of the officials, but they were unable to understand what she said. The de tectives could see no photograph In the dead boy's eyes. The body was found last evening when the workmen at the reduction j works were preparing to empty the bin : Into the incinerator. A hand protrud ' Ing from the garbage attracted the at tention of the men and the stiffened I body of the boy soon was revealed. ! It had scarcely been laid out on aj plank when the aged father forced his way through the crowd and flung him-; self upori the prostrate form, chanting; in weird tones a Russian psalm. The ( men had difficulty In disengaging the: body from his embrace. ; The discovery at the morgue that death evidently had been caused by a blow on the head, fracturing the skull, led to investigation of the police on : the murder theory. I The coroner's Inquest developed that I the Buchlnoff boy had died from suffo cation. It Is thought probable that the boy wasshlt over the heaa and rendered unconsolouw befor he. was thrown Into the bin and that he died there from suffocation when wagon after wagon load of garbage was dumped in upon him.

ACTOE COLLIER IS ROBBED OF $500 (United Press Lesd Wire.) Tacoma, July 11. When William Collier was bowing his acknowledgment to repeated curtain calls at the Tacoma theatre last night In "Caught in the Rain." was he wondering If "-the man who during the day had robbed him of $500 was somewhere in the audience, laughing at him? Mr. Collier was robbed some time yes terday of $500 and. though a born comedian, he considers it no laughing matter.

Over and over, over ana over, has Deen portrayed ay pen ana yiumrv ... ..can., of those rugged mountains, and as late as IS days ago. on June 28, A Portland Daily Newspaper Contained the Following account of One of the Most Recent Strikes of That State's Gorgeous Piles of Prolific Ores: (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Wallace. Idaho, June 26. One of the greatest ore strikes ever made in the history of the Coeur d'Alenes took place vesterdav afternoon in the property of the Anchor Mining Company, located between the Mammoth and Heel a mines, at Burke. The strike consists of one foot of carbonates carrying enormous values in silver. Ordinary assays of this ore give a return of 1,260 ounces to the ton, and picked samples range all the wav from 2,000 to ,000 ounces to the ton. . , In addition to this, two feet of crystallized lead ore has been exposed of an average assay value of from 85 to 90 per cent. i . i . The strike was made on a claim known as the Diamond Hitch, at the bottom of a 36-foot snart, and at a distance of only 75 feet north of the Northern Pacific track. The claims of the company were operated about 10 years ago by the Diamond Hitch Company, and a little ore was shipped, but work on the property was given up, owing to the difficulty of keeping the property clear of water. . The principal owners of the present company are M. Maher of Burke, and Evan Evans of Spokane. Great Porphyry Deposits. The great porphyry dike of the Potlcle claims may be said to be almost identical with the reddish or purple rock found in Upper Egypt, principally at Jebel Dokhan, and much used by the ancients as dec orative stone. This porphyry, the porfldo rosso antloo of Italian antiquaries, consists of a dark crimson or chocolate-colored felsltlc base, with dlsnenflnated crys tals of white feldspar, probably oiigociase. it was a favorite material with Roman . sculptors iinder the lower empire, and, notwithstanding its excessive hard ness was worked into large sarcophagi and other ob jects, ornamented In some cases in elaborate relief. This porphyry was also Ingeniously used for the lower part of the busts of Roman emperors, the head being executed In another material, while the pornhyry was used for the drapery. While valuable, therefore, in itself, In the region of Idaho's productive mineral belt it Is considered the almost inseparable companion of gold In its richest? territory. " $169,051,275 Taken From Our Neighbor Mines. Pause for a moment and contemplate these figures. There arei ten hundred thousand dollars in a million, and MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINE TIMES TEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL LARS HAVE BEEN MINED FROM THE COEUR D'ALENES ALONE! In silver this would weigh almost FIVE) THOUSAND TONS I This la not guessing, but government figures. It Is from reports of the Direc tor of the Mint, and THE PRODUCTION OF THE COEUR D'ALENES AT THIS TIME IS GREATER THAN AT ANT PRIOR DATE IN HISTORY. The celebrated Snow Svtorm has 1,000 tons of ore blocked out now, the Bunker Hill Sullivan is paying 1180,000 per MONTH in dividends, and every little while distributes a bonus of the same amount. From here there is a perfect chain of mlneB and mineral passing directly through our property, knitting together the Murray Gold Belt so cosely that there Is no more chance of our being without the lone than there is a chance for the State of Idaho to disappear from the American map. In fact. It Is estimated that there Is mineral enough in the Idaho mountains, peaks and valleys to distribute f 100 each to every man, woman and child In the United States. But What About the Poticie Mines? This Is likely what Interests the reader of these llries. We own 220 FULL acres of ground 11 FULL claims free from all Incumbrances, so far developed that we can epeak with the utmost confidence when we predict that within a few months at most we shall be producing ore AS RICH AS ANY IN THE CAMP. And that means the beginning of the accumulation of fortunes for our stockholders INDEPENDENT FORTUNES for all those who hold stock In any great quantity, and plethoric Incomes for all according to the investment. A Portland Bank Clerk's Wisdom. (Portland Evening Telegram, August 18, 1907.) Robert F. Scott was a clerk in the First National Bank, Portland, for more than a dozen years. He had apartments at the Newcastle rooming-house. Third and Harrison. Two years . a friend induced him to place 1160 In the stock of the Mohawk gold mine of Goldfield, NeVada, from the sale of which three months ago he realized the snug little fortune of $106,000, and ts now enjoying himself taking in the sights of the Holy Land. To earn that much at bis desk in the bank would have required continuous labor for more than 87 years, but the 1160 he Invested in gold mine stock represented but six weeks' work. The reason the Mohawk people sold that stock waa to secure sufficient funds to develop the mine. This was accomplished, and its shares are now soaring along at 117.60 each. In fact, mining stock profits In Gold field have been so marvelous that It Is difficult t believe the truth concerning them. For example, (6 worth of Mohawk stock, procured when its shares' first were placed on sale could since have been disposed of at $3,400; $10 invested then would since have brought $6,800; $20 then, $13,600 since; $40 then, $27,200 elnce; $80 then. $54,400 since; $100 then. $68,000 since; $150 then. $106,000 since: $200 then. $136,000 since; $400 then, $272,000 since; $500 then, $340,000 since; $1,000 then, $680,000 since, and $2,000 then, the enor mous sum of $1,360,000 since! You can own an interest in these eleven claims for ten cents. You can own an inter est likely to make you rich for $100. You are in line for ab solute independence at a cost of $200, and buy on credit, too The placer claims indicated have produced many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our engineer says a big porphyry dykv runs through our property and a contact between the porphyry and xiuartzite, carried an enormous load of oxidized iron quartz, which is the genesis of gold In the placer mines on either side of our property. Our assays show $59.47, $62.93, $46.56, $29.96, $23.62, $240.71 and $108.56 to the ton. Do you understand the meaning of these facts and conditions? BAVt PtSTMCT , SOSe" CO. MfO 6. v , 4 4 h: tS : o .704 We Are in the Boat the Mohawk Was In. - We need some more money to now complete development of our property. We never offered a share of Potlcle stock for sale until we had PROVEN that we had a mine. We did not sink a prospect hole and then shout, "COME ALONG. BOYS, AND LET'S SEE IF WE HAVE ANYTHING!" Instead, we went along" ourselves and bored tunnels into the mountain and paid the bills until we have -demonstrated the fact that there are fortunes there for scores of people, and the 80.000 shares of stork we have put upon the market will unlock the gates to the treasure beds and pull back the rocky curtains that have hidden It from view tver since the dawn of time. Tracks Laid and Cars Installed. President Austin has Just returned from the mines. While there he witnessed the cornpletlon of the track and installation of the ore cars. This improvement Is now complete, and If ever there was a mining ?roperty thoroughly equipped for perfect work at the smallest expense, ours Is that one. And as falth ully as the pendlum of the clock swings to and fro does the development of our mine proceed, and We Can Conceive of No Other Result Than That We Shall Pay, Beginning Before Many Months, Dividends That Will Aggregate as Great on Our Investment as That of the Famous Bunker Hill and Sullivan or of any Other Mine Within the State. But there Is one thing certain, these shares will not long be sold at present prices snd on present terms. We sincerely believe that, within a year, this stock will be selling at as much as $1.00 the share. And It will be our big dividends that will cause the rise. They are bound to come! No human hand can long delay them. And they will Va so big as to smase our people. They Will Confound the Pessimist and Fill the Optimist's Heart With Joy. Then will Potlcle stock soar up as the eagle, and be sought for on every hand. It will be another of the great money-makers of the West, and many will rejolf-e that they own Its shares. He who waa a servant will be a servant no more, and he In practical bondage to ceaseless toll and comparative poverty will lift his head In Independence and frown upon the weariness and languor of days agone.
