Ending of a Career.

A close carriage stopped in front of one of
the art galleries. Out of it stepped, in mani
fest feebleness, woman whose figure would
kave been shapely and commanding had not
illness bowed it. In the paid face recog-
nized once handsome actress. Away back
in the days of the third or fourth annual re-
production of the ''Black Crook" she was the
Stalacta. The dudes of decade and half
ego sat in the front seats of Booths theatre
and ardently admired her. Of late years she
hao been out of sight here, though she has
performed in small travelling companies.
Vow she is dying of consum ption, and is an
inmate of a public hospital Barely able to go
out atalI, she seemed to have made this outing
fot tho purpose of seeing Piloty's painting,
''The Wise a Foolish Virgins which was
on exhibition in the establishment which she
entered. She spent only quarter of an
hour II gazing languidly on the famous can
vas, and wondered whether the subject had
a special interest for her. 1t is fact that
for popular stage purposes there are usually
no more than ten years of life for beautiful
woman.-New York Sun.

Sluggish Liver,
ETC, ETC, ETC,

Unlike many kinds of cathartic
- medicines, do not make you feel
worse before you feel better. Their OPP
GRAFTON is gentle, but thorough, and
unattended with disagreeable effects,
such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seigels Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov-
cred. They cleanse the bowels from all
irritating substances, and leave them in
a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the bane
of our ives-constipation and sluggish
liver
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without anv
pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses of Se1gel's Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrhea. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with a dose of
Seige1's Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result.
Seigel's Operating Pills prevent
ill-effects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.

John Kennedy on Tuesday fell down
the shaft Of the Queen Bee mine at
Mineral Park. The shaft il about forty
feet deep, but Mr.. Kennedy reached the
bottom without breaking any bones OF
receiving any serious injuries. Mohave
county miners are lucky. Since the first
of the year number Of such falls have
been recorded, and in no instance has a
serious injury been received.
Two earthquake shocks were felt on the
morning Of the 10th instant at Yuma,
at 2 90 and 3 o'clock. The latter was
quite severe, lasting between three and
FIVE seconds, accompanied with q low
rumbling sound. The direction OF the
wave disturbance was apparently north
and south. No damage was inflicted to
buildings, although the Yuma Indians
and domestic animals became very much
excited.
Considerable excitement was caused
Tuesday night by the accidental fall OF a
chandelier in Taggart's Hall, just after
lighting the lamps. One Of the lamps
was broken by the fall and the others
overturned. The oil took fire and for a
few moments the hall was filed with
flames, which were quickly extinguished
! and fire prevented.

Died OH the Desert.

W. s. Mills, the Manager of the South
western Mining Company, at Ell Dorado
Canyon, kindly furnishes the MINER with
the following account OF the death OF
James Gordon, which occurred on the
desert this side Of Bonelli's ferry last
week:
"a man died on the desert between
Mountain Springs and Rioville. He had
stopped at Mountain Springs for day or
two, but left there without notice in the
night. On Monday night, the 18th inst,
about 10 O'Clock, Hyram Williams, the
young man who carries the mail between
Rioyille and FL Dorado Canyon, found
the man at the side of the road this side
OF Rioyille, about l3 miles from the
river. He asked him what he was doing
there and the man replied that he was
excepting out OF the road" and was having
hard time Of it--wanted water, had
been wIthou. for long time. He got up
and Williams gave him drink, a swallow
at time at first, as he seemed very
thirsty. Williams stopped with him hall
an hour and gave him some lunch, of
which he ate very little. On leaving
Williams gave the man all the water he
had-about two quarts--and his lunch.
He said his name was Gordon and that
he would now be able TO go on to the
river. Williams took the mail to III
Dorado Canyon. and on the night of the
18th returned with it to Rioville, and on
the way found the body Of the man near
where be had left him. Apparently he
had crank the water and eaten the lunch
before dying. Two men afterwards went
out from Rioville with the mail carrier
and buried the body. There were no
papers and only an empty purse in his
pockets. He had on black pants and vest,
cheyoit shirt, straw hat and good shoes,
without nails. Was apparently 40 to 45
years Of age, feet s or inches high,
and would weigh perhaps 100 to 14O
pounds. Had bald spot on his head
and had lost one eye"
The description Is that OF James Gordon,
who left here about three weeks ago after
protracted spree. The deceased was
well-known here and at the Needles,
where he had been in the employ of the
A. p. A sister Of Gordon's, we are in
formed, lives near Stockton, Cal. She is
the only relative ever mentioned by the
deceased to bis friends, and her name Is
unknown to them.

MINING NOTES.

Mendes & Rogers have a lot Of ore from
their gold claim at the Sampler.
John Campbell and b. Moses are work.
ing the Sinclair mine at Mineral Park,
and are getting out some very good ore.
The American Flag boys had six tons
Of ore brought down this week which
went, as all ore from that mine does, in
the neighborhood Of 600 ounces per ton.
John X. Mackenzie had six-ton lot Of
orc from the new strike in the Cupel
worked this week, aud ii brought him
262h ounces per ton. There il q good
deal of this same class Of ore yet in the
Cupel.
The Sampling Works this week worked
the following lots OF ore G. o. d., two
cars; Cupel, six tons; Waterbury, Carey
& Gordon, one car; American Flag, six
tons; Steve Smith, from the Attata, six
tons; III. T. Ewing, small lot from the
Short Starter.
4 new strike has been made in the
Rattan mine in sinking the shaft. The
ore in the new strike Is OF different char
acter from that heretofore struck in this
mine, and assays fifty dollars in gold and
one hundred and fifty in silver, and the
pay streak is about eight inches wide.
II. p. Ewing was in from the Peacock
Mountain with his first lot OF ore from
his recent strike, which he calls the
"Short Starter" u went 352 ounces TO
the ton and Henry says that he has lots
more OF the same kind Of ore and expects
to ship a car load month hereafter.
g. w. Spawforth, Of Homer, Cal, is in
town, having a shipment OF ore run
through the Sampling Works. The ore is
from the Exchequer district near Homer,
which produced for some time very rich
ore, but in 1882 was abandoned, as in
every claim in the district which was
worked porphyry was struck, and the
miners believed the ledge not to continue
beyond it. Mr.. Spawiorth last year
bought all the claims in the district and
worked through the porphyry and struck
the ledge, and is now taking cut as good
ore as has ever been taken from any of
these claims.

PIERRE, Dak., Sept. THE delega-
ton that returned from the Watertown
convention this week were not in eX-
actly that angelic frame of mind that
would conduce to perfect peace and
blessedness. Having gone thither to
triumph in the laurels of the man from
Canton, it was surely a sore diSappOint-
ment to know that their labor and en-
thusasm in his behalf had been utterly
in vain. Many a growl and scarcely
audibly uttered imprecati0n is heard
when the matter is referred to, but this
is best illustrated by the words of the
more than illustriOus Col. Bullard, one
of the main pillars of the &. o. p. of

news of the nomination of Matthews
was first carried to him, very aptly rep
resented his and party's feeling here

vantage in the future, but this pie is all

ews, perhaps, is all right in their sight,

can, the Republicans of Hughes county
still in silence shed tear over the fate
that Defell Clifford at WatertOwn. and

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 7.-Only twenty
eight St. Paul men faced SwartZel to-
day in a game that will go on record as
the worst st. Paul has ever played. The
thirteen errors with which they are
credited were mostly ineXcusable. Dur
yea. who has the record of having shut
out Kansas City with single hit, was
pounded numerically for eighteen hits,
with a total of twenty-seven. a curious
coincidence lies in the fact that SwartZel
was in the box in the game referred to.
st. Paul should have been shut out, but
In the fifth inning Earle hit a grOunder
to Manning. who let it go by him, let
ting the runner to first. Then Earle
tried to steal second, and Reynolds, in
throwing to catch him, threw too high
to Manning. HaSsamaer, who was
backing up second, dropped the ball,
and threw to third, but it was very
bad throw. The ball went away by
johnson and SwartzeI, and before it
could be recovered Earle crossed the
plate. In the last half of the seventh
MOrriSsey. the second man at bat, tOuled
q pitched bali. and in trying to catch
the tip Reynolds broke the little finger
OF HIS udllu tAdcIlg do u6 bIOh6

He was replaced by Gunson. When the
first half of the eighth inning came
around, MOrTiSSey went into the box
and Duryea TO first. 1t didn't seem to
make much difference about who
pitched, for the Blues pounded the ball
lust the same. 1t was such one-sided
contest that it was hardly interesting,
the only point of interest being as TO
whether the visitors would be able to
get hit. Score:
