Casper Cohn’s Dry Goods Store Robbed Las : Night, When Casper Cohn tried to unlock the iron door in front of his dry goods store this morning he found the keyhole stuffed with paper. He thought some mischievous boys had put the paper there to annoy him, and expressed himself quite. eniphatically thereat. But when he did finally get the door open he soon learned the cause of the paper being there. His store had been robbed and the paper in the keyhole was Placed: there te. prevent anyone outside from seeing the robber’s light. An examination showed that the place had: been thoroughly ransacked. Forty dollars in gold coin, which Mr. Cohn had hidden in a box~of socks, was stolen, together with eight dollars in change taken from the meney drawer, and a silver watch, besides a lot of socks, ribbons, laces, silks and other articles of value that were handy to carry. The store is sicuated on Commercial street, next door to Carr Bros.’ drug store, and entrance was gained’ from the flume that runs underneath the back end of the By boring eight auger holes the thief succeeded in breaking an opening ‘in the floor large enough for a man to crawl through. In making his exit he went out through a skylight in. the wooden addition back of the brick building. Whoever committed the burglary was evidently well acquainted with the premises.. Mr-~ Cohn _ was down to the store yesterday morning and everything was all right, 20 the place must have been robbed last night: : Today the officers made an examination of the flume that runs under Cohn’s store. They found some ladies hese, several spools of thread, and the bit with which the holes were bored through the floor. Footprints were found coming out at.the upper end of the flume or sewer, at'the rear of the building occupied by Mrs. Phillips’ joint.

The Game Fails in This City But Is Very Sue. oessfal at Grass Valley, Two confidence sharpers were in this sity Saturday. From what has been learned since it is known that one of the fellows left for Grass Valley on the 5 o’clock ’bus. Saturday evening one of the men went to Carter & Johnston’s clothing store, in this city, and purchased goods to the amount of $16. In payment he téndered a check on the Citizens Bank for $25, purporting to be drawn by James Bradbury, the teamster and freighter of North San Juan, The stranger was given the articles and $9 in change. Soon after his departure Mr. Johnston went to the“Citizens Bank and presented the check fer payment, when he wag informed that Mr. Bradbury had no account there, Taking the check Johnston started out'to hunt up the man from whom he had obtained it. He found -him at the Union Hofel and got back the clothes and money. The man said he would get somebody to identify him Monday morning, and that the check would then be paid. ‘ Johnston notified Under Sheriff Neagle and Constable Dillon of the transaction, and the officers instituted a search for the confidence man. This was about 7 : 30 o'clock. After hunting the town thorenghly until nearly -9 o’clock, without catching their man, the officers learned that the last seen of him he-was going up Sacramento street, as though leaving town. They also learned that the fellow had visited L. Hyman’s clothing store, purchased goods and gave a check for $35 signed by Mr. Bradbury. Hyman was ‘a little suspicious about the check, and telling the man he did not have -change-enough asked him to wait till he went out and got it cashed. Hyman went straight to the bank, where he learned that the check was bogus. He returned “to the store, gave the paper te the stranger and informed him that it was worthless. Neagle and Dillon went to Grass Valley about 9 o’clock. At Purcell’s livery stable inquired of the proprietor where it was going. He was informed that a gentleman had engaged the rig and a driver te take him to Colfax to catch a train, While the officers were standing there the man came) in and stood close to them. They sized him up carefully and seeing he was not the ‘man they were looking for they paid no further attention to him, but went out to look for the other fellow. Subsequently +hey leafned-that-a confidences sharp had taken in three or four Graes Valley merchants. The description tallies with that of the man who went to Colfax in the buggy. He bought a watch from Zapf, the jeweler, giving in payment a check for $30 on the Citizens Bank, with Fred Zeitler’s name signed to it. Zapf gave him $7.50 in coin, the watch being valued at $22.50. The check was made payable to Frank Miller, and was endorsed by that name. He purchased a diamond ring ef George Howe, value $20; and also received $23 in cash,-for a bogug check drawn for $43. At ’ /Roberts & Blair’s he got rid of another check, receiving part of. the amount in clothing and part in money. It was after ll o’clock Pp. M. before Mr. Zapf learned that he had been swindled. The officers failed to find any trace of the man who operated in this city. He was about 26 years of age, about 5 feet 9 inches high, weighs about 160 pounds, has light eyes, dark hair, sheared mustache, and beard abowt three days growth; dark complexioned, Wore a black crush hat, dark sack coat, brown pants and red cerded shirt. The sharper who worked Grass Valley was a well appearing man abeut 30 yeurs of age, 5 foot 8, about 150 peunds weight, dark complexion, black mustache, dark clothes, dark stiff hat. After reaching Colfax he took an east-bound train. Although telegrams have been sent in all directions, no tidings of the raseals has yet been received. : E i Dropped ‘his Money. ees! ° The chicken house. at George Simmons’ place, Tewn Talk, was entered last night. From all appearances the thief was frightened away, as none of the chickens were stolen, and Simmons found $7.50 in money in the chicken house, which had been dropped there by somebody. Taken Below. Sheriff Douglass left ou the noon train today, having in charge an insano Chinaman named Ah Jee, and Ernest Damon, the boy who stole a couple of rings from Mrs. Chris. Webber.

The mine is known as the Stiles ledge,» which runs under the prettiest residences on Broad street, in the very heart of our city. The purchasers are Hicks & Co. of San Francisco, and the sale, we understand, was made on Saturday last, the consideration being $10,000. The property has been owned for many years by Daniel A. Rich and his son, Jacob ©. Rich. There is a shaft 200 feet deep en Deer creek, below the Nevada Feundry, and from there a tunnel was run up to and about under the Methodist Church. The croppings of the same ledge are seen on the Nevins lot near the head of East Broad street. Some years ago.the mine was worked considerably, on a small scale, by tributers, and always paid well, some of the rock milling’a as high as $60 to the ton. Many years ago, when the mine was owned by the late W. C. Stiles, there was a small steam hoisting plant on'the property ow Deer creek. A tramway extended from there up the creek and under suspension bridge to the sash factory now owned by George M, Hughes, which at that time belonged to Stiles. There was'a quartz mill in the lower part of the building then, and here the quartz from the mine was hauled over the tramway-in a large car. Stiles worked the mine in this manner for some time, but the hoisting and pumping rig used would not permit of going any deeper, and eperations were finally suspended. It is the history of this mine that itis a valuable piece of property and that with proper machinery and economical management it ean be made to pay handsome dividends. We are informed that the new owners will begin work without delay. — Tue formula of Pin 8 Sareaparilla i is well known to the medical profession, and universally approved.

The Nevada County Ridge Coming to.the Front in a Splendid Manner. . Quite an excitement exists at the present time over in the San Juan Ridge country, ewing to developments on the Boss mite, recently bonded to Thomas C. Howell, a mining man, from San Francisco. The ledge formation in some places ig one hundred feet in width, and will average forty feet in width. It is a contact: ledge with slate making in between the ledge in places. It is quite evident that the rich placer claiins that were worked:in the vicinity years ago, were fed from this ledge. Mr. J. J. Ott the assayer of this city made four practical mill tests with a two stamp mill from rock taken frém the entire width ef the ledge at various places, the lowest going $3.50 and the highest $12.60 per ton. Seme years ago a Salmon Palyerizer Mill was erected upon thé the property and only six square feet of silvered plates were put in, and even with this rather primitive machinery and handling rock several times, the owners made~ more than expenses. Mr. Howell is now erecting suitable machinery to properly work the ores, It is also the intention of the gentlemen to put machinery on another fraction of the ledge on the south side of Sweetland Creek, thereby werking both ends of this wonder ful property. . We would state that this ledge is very much similar to the celebrated ‘Spanish mine except that the ore is of higher gtade. The advent of Mr. Howell in the county isa good thing as he isarustler, and since coming here has made 4 host-of friends. + e@e +-——.-— Stumons:Liver ReGviaror is invaluable in the nursery.
