NELLIE GRIMESS DEATH-Sttding D0ion Bal
,sters for Eighteen Years and Falling OF at
Lass-The six. story commercial building at 1873
Nassau street has continuous staircase around
the four sides Of a square. The baluStrade Is
also continuous, and Is rounded at the corners.
The janitress, widow, Mrs. Grimes and her
five children, lived In rooms In the topmost
story. Nellie, the eldest, was over years of
age when her mother moved into the rooms
eighteen years ago. She began sliding down
the balusters from top to bottom. Her mother
tried to dissuade her, but the girl persisted
until she was as much at home on the balusters
as on the stairs She laughed at every Sugges-
ton OF danger. springing at full length upon
the baluSter on an upper landing, with her
head upward, her feet downward, her hands on
the slippery rail, she shot down like flash.
Year after year she slid down stairs until Satur-
day last. Mrs. Grimes started with Nellie to go
down stairs from the top story. Nellie both slid
ana walked until the two had arrived at the top
OF the second story. Mrs. Grimes had just said
''NOW, Nellie dear, wish you would not do
that You'll get hurt some time" hut the girl
mtSchievOusly sprang upon the balusterS and,
sliding short distance, lost her pOtse and,
with shrek, toppled over and fell with q
heavy thug. She was picked up unconscious,
and on Sunday she died. She was buried yes
terday. She was % years and 6 months OF age.

California Salmon.

The question OF introducing California salmon

OF the experiment they are about to M AXE. and

 Attractions in the Tough Nut mine have been increasing within the past few days. Ore, of the very richest kind, has been again found, which assays up into the thousands. AS they open up, no mat ter whether in cuts or shafts, the richness of the mine increases. Without doubt, the mine is turning out far beyond the est mine yet developed in this district
 Arrangements are about completed for the starting of stage line between this place and Patagonia, an enterprise that will meet with liberal patronage. For the present we have to go Tucson to get stage for Patagonia, and direct route will save 75 miles. Stock is already on hand here for the line, and will commence running within few days.
 On Wednesday morning last, a man known as "Pinon Bill" whose real name is W. J. Smyth, died while sitting in his chair at the United States Hotel. A coro- ners jury was summoned, and while every juryman believes his death was caused by injuries received from a blow or blows in the face, they were compelled to render verdict that the deceased came to his death from causes unknown to the jury. No physician would make post mortem examination for the reason that the uar simonlousness of the county will not allow but Sl0 for the uninviting lob, so thu man must be buried and bis murder CTS go scot tree.
 Inc Yuma SENTINEL has an observing correspondent in this district. That pa- per has always taken kindly interest in oar affairs and we believe is the only pa per in the Territory, outside of this coun. ty' that hasn't given us "cold shoulder" Nugget.
 Thanks friend Nuqget this is the Arizona oENflN EL, ana not the Yuma SENTINEL, which may explain why we take a kindly interest in Tombstone affairs; we take a deep interest in the welfare and nros. perity of the wtole Territory and uo,,d not give the "cold shoulder" to any DOT, ton of it.

1 An excellent road has been constructed from Gillett to the Tip-Top mine. Sixty men are now working in mine under con- tract. It is intended to remove the mill from Gillett to the mine.

 4 jury was called to try the case of the Territory vs. William Morgan, the man of many aliases, upon the charge of robbery of Wells Fargo's express box, on the 18th of last month, about five miles from Pres colt.
 Ten o'clock m.-The jury, after about ten minutes deliberation returned verdict of guilty.
 William Morgan. convicted of stage robbery, on last Saturday, was brought into court for sentence. The court said, in passing sentence: Ut is the intention of this court to stop the pratice of high way robbery, so far as it is in its power so to do: you have been found guilty of that crime, and this court will impose the full penalty of the law. The sentence of this court is, that you be confined in the ter ritorial prison for the term of your natural lif.."
 The recent rumor that the Tip Top mill would shortly be removed from Gill lette to the mine, had no truth in it. It will remain where it is. Portions of the machinery will soon be removed and re- placed by new parts.
 The bottom of the man, or working shaft is now 400 feet below the surface and will be driven 100 feet more, as fast as pos sible. 200 feet of this shaft will pass through new ground. Three winzes, each 100 feet deep, are already sunk. Two more will soon be made at other points on the vein. Sixty men are employed on the various openings.

ED.

Mrs. Abbie A. French, wife of Chief Jus tice French, died at a quarter past two o'clock this morning, Q1th) at Troy New York
 During her brief residence in Tucson Mrs French endeared herself greatly to a large circle of eur best people, and be- came known as lady of the most sterling qualities. It was, therefore, with pro- found joy that the news was received some months since that she had been per manently relieved from the malady which had attacked her cancer. But the hopes of friends were vain, and it is now only some two monhts since it was an- nounced that the disease had returned in a probably hopeless form. Since that time she has steadily declined.
 This community, recognizing the fact that good woman, wife, and, mother has gone will extend its utmost sympa- thy to those whose ties of relationship will make them feel the loss most keerly.
 We take the above from the Citizen and the SENTINEL tenders its condolences to the bereaved.

We have received, read and been ediied by, the new margarine called The CalJor- nian. It is well printed in clear type and double columns and on good paper. In it's modest apology for existence, "It claims no aching void in the literary world which it is especially qualified, or commissioned, to fill" We take issue here and surmise that all old readers and subscribers of the O0e,1ond will join us. The Pacific Coast has needed good monthly magazine ever since the demise of that short-lived enterprise and this void we hope, and have every reason to believe, can and will De filled by the Californian. The articles
 in this initial number gre we'll written and of general interest and we sincerely trust liberal patronage will secure a long and prosperous life to this literary undertaking, and as the subscription price is but three dollars per annum we cordially recommend all to peruse and enjoy 1t.

There is a mistake among varous cor. respondents, in supposing the San Pedro river to be wholly in Arizona. Our best information is that it rises in Sonora, about 30 miles south of the U. $. line, and enters this territory at or near little set tle"ent known as Ochoavllle. about 30 miles from Charleston, and 150 mics from its confluence with the Gila. The stream will possibly measure 200 miles in length and carries water the entire distance, ex- cept short portion of the year, when it sinks at point about % miles north Of Tres Alamos, but rises again ten miles beyond and flows undiaturbed to the Glla. Excellent farms are cultivated the entire length of the stream, with plenty of water for all necessary irrigating purposes Nugget.

A seemingly well authenticated report was current in San Francisco, at last dates, that the Contention mine, Tomb stone District, had been sold in New York for S4000.000. Schefin Brothers and Richard Gird located it about one year ago, and sunk upon it a shaft nine feet, and we are informed sold it for 5000. It is claimed that there is now upon the dump s2,5GO,oOo worth of ore. A letter from San Francisco to a gentleman of this place, states that shares in this mine was worth $50.
 The shipment of bullion from the Stone wall Jackson mine was over s15oOo in. stead of s6,415 as stated in our last issue. This increases the total bullion shipment for November, to over s44,0O0.
 The shaft on the Irene mine is now down 7S feet, and assays from the ore at four different points in the last eight feet show the following results:
