40 and 80 years. nave been living
for many years in good style in that
town upon revenue derived from the
estate left them by their mother. Re-
Gently their father succeeded in get

has left them penniless. When they
became fully aware of this state of
affairs they decided to die together
and spent Sunday and Monday in
preparing for death. They nailed
up the doors and windows and the
oldest sisters, with most careful
preparation, drove spikes on either
side of the easement of the folding
doors, adjusted small hetnpen cords
about their necks aud, kicking from
ottomans and chairs, quietly stran.

Nora, who is a dwarf, remained in
the meantime in the upper chamber,
and, although the deed was done at
about six o clock Monday night, she
first gave warning at nine o'clock
and the bodies were not cut down
until midnight. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that she could be
induced to tell her story, aud she
told it so indistinctly and in such a
rambling way that its accuracy is
even now doubted. She is in state
bordering on insanity. In her cham

was written, 1--WE must nail up the

regarded as very cratic, and al
though nothing has been known
against their character they have
been known to hold noisy and dis
turbing midnight orgies that are now
regarded as evidence of long stand

THE TOMBSTONE MILL AND MINING COM
PANY's MILL
propped its stamps on ore for the
first time June 1t run until the
10Th on third class ore. The first bar
of bullion was run on the 5th, and the
first bullion shipment was made on
the 10th This shipment amounted
to over $4,000. Counting from the
time the first bar was run, and if the
mill had stopped and cleaned up,
their first months shipments would
have amounted to 100000 But, be-
ing more DESTROYS to keep everything
moving than to make big report on
the FIRST months run, the bullion-re
ceipts will not amount to quite that
figure. This mill is pronounced by
competent Judges one of the best on
the coast, and by far the best in Ari.
IONA. Everything inside is simply
perfection. To its energetic Superin-
tendsnt, Richard Grid is due the
credit for the completeness of its con-
struction and the convenience of its
general arrangement. Mr.. Grid
takes these new ores, and, without
roasting, works them up to so per
cent. or, in other words, within 20
per cent. of the pulp assay. This we
consider the work of a master.

Almost all the money expended in
the camp so far has been furnished

in the future sale of property here,
the money may come from the same

district to be as good as found in any
country, and having no particular
liking for the manner in which San
Francisco men generally run mines,
we would much rather see all of our
principal mines in the hands OF our
Eastern friends than have the con-
trolling interest in the hands of the
