The filing at the rate of 230 will continue daily unti] (he entire 13,000 claims have been disposed of.

The robbers had | evidently been working on the case for two or three months They had dug a tunnel from outside the house, digging a tunnelshaft first about three feet deep. Then they tunneled in under the vault and striking upwards, bored a hole in the strong room floor. The hole was in the shape of a manhole. Part of the holes had been hored two it is thought, and the last one was bored last night. Through that hole they took the gold bricks and carried them to a bank near the tunnel east of the works, where they were evidently placed fn a boat their hurry they left two of the bricks on the bank During the night one of the workmen r ported to his fellows that he heard a nolse in the strong room and he thought ft must be a ghost. The others ridiculed him for his superstftion, but mo Investigation was made to see what caused the noise The entrance to the tunnel was covered | over which the employes of the smelter passed repeatedly every day but no one seemed to notice anything out of the way. Sherift Vealo of Contra Costa county, and his deputies and Chief of Police Saptord of Vallejo were notified and are at the works Not the Slightest Clue. The police of San Francisco and bay citles are at work on the case far there is not the slightest robbers. The work was men and evidently all the , but 0 clue to the that of skilled elaborate plans had been carried out without a hiteh. The thieves got all the bullion in the vault, leaving behind only two bricks, which they dropped on tho shore In thelr haste. Only one dny's accumulation of refined gold was | kept at the works. Yesterday's run was | unusually heavy and the gold was to have been shipped back to San Francisco today The tunnel that the robbers excavated | was about three feet in diameter and gave them plenty of room in which to work.
