Bind an Employe of the Mill to a Chain While They Are at Work. Noise of the Machlnery Drowns the Clink of Thelr Tools Upon | | | | the Strong-Box. NEVADA CITY, CaL, June L—Two masked men broke open the safe at the Providence mine last night and took all the amalgam it contained. The monthly | clean-up had not been made, the amalgam | in the safe coming from the daily brush- | ing of tbe plates and ‘amounting to about 1 $2500. Before the robbers began work on the safe they went into the mill and sur- | prising Peter Seith, who was in charge of | the concentrators, bound him to a chair. | Then they carried on their work without | interruption. Seith had been on the upper floor taking | a look at the screens to the batteries, as is | customary at regular intervals during | each shift, and havin: descended to the | lower floor where the concentrators stand | was walking toward the end of the room, | where there is a stove. His lunch hour | had arrived and he was about to sit down | in & chair near the stove aud enjoy his | meal. He had nearly reached ihe chair | when somethinz cola touchea his ear. | He whirled around in surprise to find a [fasked man presenting two uistols at him, the muzzle of one passing under his | nose as he turned. By the side of the | man with the pistol stood another masked | man, the latter heing armed with a rifle. Seith was briefly commanded to throw {up his hands. He obeyed. One of the | robbers threw: over his head a ‘piece of | denim cut from the leg of a pair of over- | alls. The twain then led their priscner to the chair, bound his knees and feet, tied the cloth down over his head and bound the chair to the ironwork of the | concentrators. |~ “If you move within two hours we will | blow you to pieces,’ said one of the rob- ber: Then they left him to his meditations. | They next lasteaed the door ieading 1nto | the mili from the roaa by placing a shovel | against 1t as a brace. | Seith neard auove the claiter of the { mill the bammer blows as the Tobbers | proceeded to break open the safe in the | amalgating-room. thirty feet from where he sat. He slyly endeavored to wiggle out of his fastenings, and at the end of an hour he got one of h's wrists loose. Finally he got the covering off his head, and, after further effort, succeeded in free- ing "himself entir He rushed up to the hoisting w: rks and notified Engineer David Richerds of the robbery. By this time the masked men had escaped. Two men were called up from the mine and seut to town to notify Superintendent McKinlay, Sheriff Geicheli ana others, | and by 3 'o’clock a number of people had | gone out from Nevada City. I'be county, wownship and city officials | are vigorously hunting for the traditional | tall and short man who committed tae crime, bul they have no definite clew. Three shots were heard by employes at the Champion mine, just across the creek, | about the time of tie robbery. There was | & pause after the firsc shot and then two | were fired inrapid succession. - This shooi- | ing occurred, as near s can be reckoned. aiter the robbers had finished the cracking of the safe, and mav have been a call to confederates staiioned not far away. Thnree or four nights ago two rough- looking s rangers were loitering around the Summit mine, near the Providence, | and were finaliy driven out. From what one of them said it 1sevident that they thougbt the hoisting works had a mill connected. On Sunaday one of the men was again seen around the mine, It | hardly probab e, bowever, that the rob- tery at the Providence mine was com- miited by sirangers, as the outlaws ap- peared to be familiar with the mill. A trackwalker on the narrow-gauge railroad this morning met three men walk- ing along the track beyond Town Talk |aud gong toward Grass Vailey. They were strangers to him. The directors of the Providence Com- pany have been telegraphed to, and it is expected that some of them will arrive from San Francisco te-morrow morning.
