elrv from rooms in the St. Francis
hotel valued at ?10,000. Among the
victims was a well known actress.
The sale for $450 of one of her- j
diamonds, valued at $2,500, is said
by the police to have led to Is
gren's arrest.
In Iscren's Dockets at the time
o' his arrest were several unset
diamonds of considerable value, be-1
lieved to be part of the St. (
Francis loot
Papers in Isgren's possession
showed that he was studying pho
tography in Stockholm until Febru
ary of this year; that he obtained a
passport in April and reached this
country in May. He told the police
he had been here only a few days,
but the police found in his posses
sion a bank book showing that bo
had ouo'.ied an account here June 4.
He told the police that he was a
sailor, which, the police said, was {
an interesting admission in view of
the fact that the St. Francis and
other similar recent hotel robberies |
were committed by somebody suffi
ciently accustomed to scaling dizzy
heights to find fire escapes and
lofty ledges convenient appro:iches
to hotel bedrooms.

MORE HIGH
ORE FOUND
Senator B. P. Millard returned
from the Granite mine at Hobo Bay,
Port Wells, yesterday afternoon,
bringing the. news that another good
strike had been made iu the Gran
ite mine on a different level from
the strike made last week.
Thu new ore body was struck in
ail upraise and proved a surprise
to the miners, as Ihcy were not
aware cf i» existence. It appears
that while running one of the up
P_er tunnels some time ago a lead
waa encountered which was believed
to bo one of the surface leads that
had pinched, and as it carried little
value It remained undeveloped. Lat
er development work has shown
tha» the lead was divided by a
"horse" and that the ore body just
uncovered is about twenty inches
wide and very rich.
Senator Millard states that while
the extent of the deposit, or as
to whether 't Is continuous, has
not been determined he is satisfied
that sufficient rich ore is *n Bight
