The finding of the dead body of Alberto Chacon in one of the wells of the Copper com- pany is San Pedro’s first mystery. At the post- mortem examination, Dr. Lane found that the heart and lungs of the man were in good con- dition. It is evidently a case of murder, as the man when last seen had some money, and his murderer undoubtedly hit him over the head with a blunt instrument and after robbing him threw the body down the well. The case will be thoroughly sifted by the officers of San Pedro.
