After several weeks of diligent and clever work, Charles S. Reimer, special detective of the Nevada Mine Owner's association, early yesterday morning located in a cabin in Tonopah the cache of an organized gang of high graders and recovered about one ton of rich ore that had been stolen from the mines of Tonopah and Goldfield. It is likely that the arrest of at least twelve miners, mostly of Tonopah will prove the sequel of the recovery of the stolen ore, as Detective Reimer has gathered a great mass of evidence on the operations of the gang.

Going to the cabin of the gang in the silver camp yesterday morning, Detective Reimer found and covered with a revolver seven of its members guarding the cache. Although two of them had revolvers and the remainder were well armed with knives, they were so completely taken by surprise by Detective Reimer that they showed no disposition to use their weapons and immediately obeyed his command to throw up their hands.

Single-handed, Detective Reimer searched the pockets of the seven miners of the gang in the cabin. Considering that the recovery of the ore was of more importance than the immediate capture of the seven thieves, Detective Reimer permitted them to leave the cabin and temporarily make their escape, since he was without aid to march them to the county jail. The high-graders cache contained twenty sacks of ore that is easily worth $3000. Much of it is specimen rock. After finding the ore Detective Reimer hired three automobiles and removed it from the cabin.
