Death of Mrs. Horton,

This community was shocked and
grieved by the announcement that Mrs.
Dexter Horton had died suddenly. from
heart>disease. on Sunday evening at 61aa
O'Clock. The deceased. whose maiden
name was Caroline Parsons. came from
New London, Connecticut, six or seven
years ago. with her brother-in- law aud
sister, Capt. and Mrs. Penfeld. She
engaged in public teaching, in which
vocation she won great credit not only
for her accomplishments but for her re-
markabie aptitude and attractive qua les,
winning the confidence and developing
the best instincts Of all under her care
who came within her influence. About
four years ago she married Mr.. Dexter
Horton, the banker of this city, since
which time she has devoted herself, in
the most quiet and unoustentatious
manner to domestic duties and to unpre>
tending works of charity, without any
offensive display of the wealth by which
her home was surrounded. In the fash-
Unable foliies of the day she had no
place; but among the poor and the low
ly she was ministering angel, and will
be sadly missed by those who never ap-
pealed to her sympathies in vain. She
was one of those rare characters who
was without enemies thongh not deic-
lent in any Of the qualities Of mind or
character which attracts tensure from
the unworthy. Her death was most
sudden and unexpected. With young
babe about SIX weeks old, she was not
in robust health, bpt there was no sus>
picion of fatal disease upon her until
few minutes tefore her death, up to
which time she az peared cheerful and
hopeful as usual; when she was sudden
ly seized with fainting which shortly
terminated in death. The sympathy of
the community. of all classes, is with
the bereaved husband and relatives.
The funeral ceremonies will take
place at her late residence at 2 O'Clock
tomorrow.

Through the courtesy of M. H. Jo-

He was Oh his way back to Eureka.

Richmond District Is situated about
Is miles north Of Palisade, In Eureka

Times-Review. Of late date, has the
following: ~. Z. Howerton returned
a few days ago from Richmond Dis.
irict. where he has been spending o
week or two looking after his mining
interests there, and taking a general
survey of the country. He says there
are about a dozen men living In the
district-which was formerly known
as Mud Springs. But little work has
yet been done there, and Of IRIS
nothing definite can be stated in regard
to the merits OF the mines, although,
for the aniount of prospecting done,
the developments have been most IA
vorable. Twenty. five feet is the great.
est depth that has been reached on any
OF the lodges. The ore near the sur
face is carbonate, and resembles the
surface ores of Eureka District. The
Aborieine mine, owned by Nj. How
erton. showed on top only q seam Of
about four or five inches of carbonate
ore, but at the depth Of eight feet has
increased to over W. feet OF a we'll. de-
fined ledge, a good portion OF which Is
