I'm search of Another Bonanza.

A. E. Schieffelin, the discoverer of the
famous Tombstone mines. in Arizona,
and one of the most successful and con-
scientious prospectors in the country,
after traversiug the burning sands of the
southern country for years. and sticking
his pick In the glaciers of Alaska, has re-
turned to his first love, and is now some.
where in the northern part of the State,
presumably in the vicinity of STEMS
mountain. The fact of his passing
through Reno was chronicled two weeks
ago. From here he went to Cedarville,
Modoc county, CAL, where he purchased
a saddle horse, pack animal and prospec.
ting outfit, and started out in an easterly
direction, and when last seen was cross
ing Long valley, in this State. still going
eastw ard. He was very reticent in regard
to his movements, and in reply to ques-
ton. stated that he was going across the
country to the Northern Pacific railroad.
He has made two previous visits to this
same section, the first being fifteen and
the second two years ago. As Mr.. Schief-
felin is possessed of the indomitable per-
severance of the prospector, coupled
with fortune of over half Q million dol
lars, it is not unreasonable to suppose
that his third visit to the northern por
tion of this State may be an augury of
the dawn of an era Of prosperity to that
section, and OF the discovery of q new
mineral district which will add addition.
al laurels to the crown which the Silver
State now proudly bears. .--Sagebrush

The depot grounds have been located, d

to facilitate travel to the town. The 10

A reliable correspondent at jackson

Is generally ofa sandy loam, yet it is
adapted for the raising Of all kinds of
"garden truck, " rs well as oranges. To
substantfate the truth of this assertion,
visit the markethouse In Jacksonville,
where almost all kinds of garden produce
may be found. The cattle here are small,
and there is good cause for this namely
the cultivation of fodder and grasses is
almost wholly neglected. The orange is
considered king, which we think has been
the one great mistake. Nearly every
agricultural interest has. been suboryli-
mated to it's culture. "a variety of indus

John Kelly Dead.

NEW York. June l.-Tammany Halls
greatch,eftan, John Kelly, died at his
residence in this city at $3.50 this
afternoon. While his death was not
sudden, it was entirely unexpected, and
the announcement shocked everyone in
the lower part of the city. Especially
was this true of the Democratic politi-
clans, among whom Mr.. Kelly has been
a ashining light and the leader of an
important wing of that party since the
days of Boss Tweed. For over a year
Mr.; Kelly has been ailing, and the
newspapers have chronicled the various
stages Of his disease from day to day; but
recently there had been an impression
that the great Democratic leader was
regaining his usual health. Ever since
the presidential campaign of 1884, Mr.
Kelly has suffered from nervous pros
tration and insomnia, which has been
aggravated by chronic dyspepsia. This
was nothing unusual to Mr.. Kelly, as he
hsd suffered similar attacks on the death
of his first wife, and again about ten
years ago, The last attack was brought
on by hard:work and over-anxiety during
the Cleveland campaign, After the
memorable election of 1884 Mr. Kelly
was taken sick and has been under the
care Of q physician ever since: For a
time it was hoped he would rally and
regain his accustomed strength, and only
few weeks ago his family made
arrangements for summer residence on
Long Island. His system was too weak,
however, to rally, and for the past two
weeks he has been gradually growing
weaker. Last Sunday morning he
appeared to grhw much worse. This
morning the end seemed near at hand ,
and about 2 o'clo in the afternoon the
physician abandoned all hope Rev.
Fathers Clarkson and Meagher, Of the
Dominican order, were summoned to the
bedside and the last rites of the church
of which Mr.. Kelly was a member were
performed. His wife, a niece of the late
Cardinal McClosky, son and daughter,
his w,fe's sister, Miss Millin, and his
niece, knelt with the clergymen at the
dying mans bedside. Although Mr.
Kelly's mind had been clouded at times
it seemed clear toward the end, and once
when his wife took his hand and asked
him if he knew her, ho replied in the
affirmative. Even after he had lost the
power of speech he showed by his
actions that he understood what was
going on, and at 800 o'clock he passe
away. There were no convulsions or
other manifestations Of suffering, and
the clergymen present declare they never
witnessed a happier death. About the
last thing Mr.. Kelly said was this
remark to his wife and the clergymen /:
81 have tried to live the life of good
Catholic; l hope shall die one. I want
to be buried as one."' His wishes in this
regard will certainly be followed out.
So far as can be determined at present
the funeral will take place at the
cathedral on Saturday ,moraing, and the
remains will be internd in Calvary
cemetery, where lie the bodies of Mr.
Kelly's three children by his first wife.
