The authorities have “oums iuto’ possession of facts which show that a Chinaman was buried in the vicinity of Cunadu Hill on Tuesday night, and that the whole: uffuir was coudgcted with an attempt at secrecy. From various hints thas. bave-beca dropped by tue Mongoliena, there is’a : trong suppo‘sitién that the sluice robber and the Chinaman buried on that vigbht are one and the seme. An effort will be made to discover the exact locality of the newly mde grave, so that the budy may be exhomed and a post moitem éxamivativn held, We should not be surprised-if, after al’, thie report is a canard started by the Chinamen so that they might throw the officers offine track of the robber. > + <—— THE PLANET MINE.
