BURGLARIZED.
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.

Mr. Head left for San Francisce today and
expects to return here in a week er ten. days.
He says he will not rest until he gets a
good quartz mine in this district.

CONFIDENCE OPERATORS.
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

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.

ANOTHER UNWORKED MINE
In tho Nevada City District Sold to San Fran“ciseo Capitalists
And still anether of the old, unworked
mines has changed hands, and work on it
will be started up immediately. 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 reputation of the
firm guarantee excellence and uniformity. in
the medicine, and the world’s experience for
nearly half a oatuy has fully demonstrated
its value.

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.
