A Follow up on Post Office Robbery. The Rest of the Story.

BOY CONFESSES THAT HE ROBBED POST OFFICE

     Winter Quarters, June 21--Benny England, 16 years or age, was arrested this afternoon by national guardsmen under Lieutenant A. W. Morrison and is alleged to have confessed to the stealing of a sum of about $650 from the post office here a few days ago.  Samuel Dorrity, chief deputy guard for the Utah Fuel Company, obtained the information which led to the arrest
     England gained admittance to the department when Miss Mary Rees, postmistress, became frightened at a mouse and he ran to her assistance.  The money had been set out preparatory to cashing a money order for a woman here and was missed shortly after England left.
     England tells a confused and contradictory story, declining to state where the money is, if he has it.  He was questioned by Postoffice Inspector E. L. Jackson of Provo.

Recent Location of Claims in Emery County near Mexican Bend and Sulphur Canyon.

IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN UTAH

__________

  L.C. Moore of Provo has located a half dozen mining claims in the vicinity of Mexican Bend, on the San Rafael River, and some about two miles west of Buckhorn Flat Reservoir.  Assays show the ore to contain copper, silver and gold.  Other recent locations are those by Harvey Hardy, Jr., of Salt Lake City, who has staked out five claims in Sulphur Canyon, two miles west of the mouth of Glover Canyon, one mile south of the Price River.

Uncle Jesse Knight interested in Emery County Mining Property.

  Castle Dale Progress:  Uncle Jesse Knight of Provo, who is both a sagacious and lucky mining man, and one who is not afraid to take a chance, may become interested in Emery County' mining ground.  He has had assays and an examination made of Peter Frandsen's copper property near Desert Switch.  The assays run away up and it is believed the property is just as good.

  Lars Frandsen came back to Price the other day from the Cedar Mountain country, where he left Ed Stewart, R. Pace and Jack Whiting working several claims recently located by himself and others.  They have a fourteen inch vein in place on one claims, says Frandsen, and this will be sunk to considerable depth.  The crowd will take up about twenty claims, locating among others the old Hoyt mine, worked as far back as 1892. 

  The twenty-two tons of ore recently shipped from there to Salt Lake City by Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale gave an average value of twelve dollars to the ton, says Lars Frandsen.  Provo parties were down there last week, figuring to put in a mill or leaching process, for the treatment of the ore, which carries lead, silver, gold and copper.  

  Lars Frandsen's claims are located about six miles west of Desert Switch.  There is plenty of water for milling and mining purposes.  Good springs of water flow the year around, while wood and coal may be had in close proximity.

Fraud Capitals.

This is a work in progress.  Following is some links I have collected about fraud capitals of the US/America and/or world.  I will try to put this information together in an article which I will leave here on this blog and perhaps elsewhere.  It seems that everyone is trying to be the "Fraud Capital".  This is something you don't want people,  HELLO!  Quit competing for this title.  Let someone else have the title. Let's let Florida have it for the US.  Let's let Nigeria have it for the world.
