sent her to the hospital. She became an OBJ
ject of charity to her friends, but they sup
piled her with everything she desired-in-
eluding liquor-as they had premonition
that her tenure of life was limited. Night
before last she visited police headquarters,
and stated her intention of going to the poor
house. She asked for carriage, but was told
that she could ride to the almsheuse in a
wagon beronging TO that institution. She re-
fused to do this, as she thought it was the
smallpox wagon that was referred to. At
least she took some jewelry and asked for the
loan Of some money on it. Receiving this
she went and procured carriage and drove
to the almshouse, where She went TO bed and
a few hours loter passed away to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns. Passed
away, alone and friendless, in II strange land,
while the man she once called husband is
left behind in worldly aiiluence, respected
and esteemed among the men and women of
his profession. He has already been inform
ed of the terrible end of her whom he once
promised to protect and cherish, but it is the
opinion of those who know the man that the
information will not grievc him-will not
lead him to emulate Othello's repentance by
crying out:
Oh! my love my wife,
Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou ART not conquered bcautys ensign yet
l. crimson in thy iil~ and in thy checks.
And Deaths pale Gag i not advanced there.
Why art thou yet fair7 shall believe
That unsubstantial death Is Hmor1us
And that the lean ahhnrred monster keeps
Thee here in dark To be his paramount
A few months ago the unfortunate woman
filed suit against Davis for So, 600 alimony
which she claims was due her, and the case
was TO be called in Denver the middle of last
month, but death quashed proceedings.

The Weld.

From the ieadvlllc Democrat.
There are persons who accept the prcdic-
ton that the present year win exceed in min
cral production the figures of its Predecessor
with some doubt and timidity, and base their
attacks upon the fact that there was serious
diminution of the returns as compared with
that of the previous year In this matter
they are subjects of misapprehonsion, for the
report only embraces the returns which were
treated by the home smelters and in disregard
of the vast amount of mineral which has
gone To Denver. Pueblo and other competitive
points. Were these amounts added to the
quarterly report it would affect the aggregate
considerably aud would place the products of
the camp at figures which would make five
million dollars hustle TO get out of its way.
When the mining editors went through the
process of addition" they only considered
the numbers which were obtained exclusive
of the thousands upon thousands of tons sent
to other smelling points. Basing their argu,
mcnt upon these figures they subject Lead.
VILE TO great injustice for had the ores been
reserved for local treatment the result would
have been much in excess of that which was
rendered II is still maintained that Lead
vile will produce more mineral this year than
Mt any previous time in her progress.
