The News notes, with emphasis, the
fact of the artesian well at Buffalo Gap
having been sunk to a depth approach
ing the limit of the contract, and forci-
bly, urges the propriety of the town
council waking up and getting a move
on them" with a view to raising a fund
to continue the work, in case no water
is encountered at the contract depth.
The News wisely saws: "a large amount
of money has already been spent in this
enterprise and if the matter is allowed
to drop now the whole expense will
amount to nothing, while if funds be
provided that will continue the work,
the probability is that water will be
reached, within the next two hum
dred feet and something realized for the
money already expended"

1t is stated on good authority that
more ore has been shipped from Bald
Mountain this summer than in any
other season in the history of the camp.
Half a dozen mines are working forces
taking out ore and forwarding it to
Omaha or Kansas City. The Hard
scrabble ships an average of one car
load per week, of an average value of
fifty dollars per ton. The effect has
been and is salutary. Prospectors are
encouraged and are now opening sever
al new and promising locations Pho

rled Sister.
Blanche Curry, the keeper OF maison
dc joie on Market Square, who died late
Monday afternoon from the shock Of a
painful operation undergone three weeks
ago, will be buried this afternoon, and the
demimonde may be expected to turn out
IN force, as deceased was very popular in
the Social Siberia to which fallen women
are banished for life A costly metallic
casket encloses her remains and floral
offerings without number will be strewn
upon her grave
The deceased died possessed OF CON
siderable property. The house where she
ended her days and all the movable prop
erty il contains were hers The estimated
value of what is in sight is about $40, 1000,
without reference TO the valuable Jewels
and ready money she was known 10 pos
sess. II is even limited that she has money
invested IN United States bonds, but OF
that nothing authentic is known.
There was much speculation yesterday
us to what disposition will be made OF the
property. Rumor had il that a well known
young man about town, a devoted friend
of the dead woman's, was the sole lcgatcc,
but OF this there is absolutely no reliable
evidence. II will to that effect was
made il must have been done recently and
without the knowledge OF her trusted legal
adviser.
Evidence OF an incontrovertiblc char
acter is at hand that dccedent made u will
about three years ago, bcqueathing all her
property 10 her married sister, Mrs.
Travis, Of Sharon, Tenn. Squire L. NJ.
Winters was employed to draft the will,
and he having at that time but little cx-
pcrience in such matters called into the
case the services OF Julius J. DuBosc, the
present Judge OF the Criminal Court, who
drew the will aud saw that it was properly
signed, executed and witnessed according
10 law. That instrument is doubtless still
in existence, aud will be accepted MS
the expression OF doccdent's wishes unless
q subsequent will is discovered annulling
the former one. This is not likely, asnonc
oi the intmatcs Of Blanche Curry seem to
have any knowledge of such an instru-
mcnt. II is therefore safe to assume that
the old will, brqucathiug everything TO
Mrs. Travis, will stand.
Ii WAS reported yesterday that near
male relative Of the lcgatco visited the
house yesterday before the corpse was
cold and took mental inventory OF tho
property. Presence OF mind is great
virtue.
