new El Dorado.

A. w. Dunn, of the New Ell Do
RADIO, has been in town the past few
days, taking vacation and rest after
two years Of steady work prospecting
and developing. Mr.. Dunn has sew
eral locations in the district named,
between the More creek summit and
Beaver creek. He made the first
discovery in the New Ell Dorado.
The only claim developed to any
depth is the Horn Silver, which car
rles almost all characters of silver ore,
and about $3 per ton in gold on an
average. The first work done was
the running OF drift sixty-five feet
and then raise to the surface, fifteen
feet. Some high grade ore was taken
out there and milled at Banner. The
next work was the sinking of shaft
thirty feet deep from the drift. AT
ter this a cross cut tunnel was run
100 feet, cutting the ledge twenty
feet below the shaft, which was con-
nected with the tunnel by a raise.
On this level drifts were extended on
the vein, the cas-. drift ninety feet
and the west $50 feet, both drifts in
good ore the entire distance. From
this level shaft was sunk fifty nine
feet, making the total depth 124 feet.
From the bottom of the shaft a drift
was run twenty-seven feet east, and
another twenty-elght feet west. The
vein has increased, not only in the
value of the ore it carries, but also in
size. From the surface down the av-
erage is width of over two feet.
Blocks of ore were taken out of the
lower drifts running as high as 1,10O
silver per ton. Smaller specimens
can be picked that will run much
higher. Mr.. Dunn will start a tun-
mel early next winter to tap the Horn
Silver at the depth of 800 feet. The
tunnel will be 700 feet long. The
development that has been done
proves the mine to be one of great
value. The ground opened and ready
for stopping, will yield, including ore
taken out in developing, 900 tons OF
high-grade ore, figuring simply on
the length of the two lower drifts
fftv-Gve feet-and from there to the
surface. The faces of both drifts
are in good ore, and there is no know
ing how much further pay ore will
extend each way. There are other
veins running parallel with the Horn
Silver, forming a group, and all show
we'll on the surface. Another belt of
lodges north of this is very promising,
Mr.. Dunn has taken four locations on
this belt. He had an assay made
that ran 377 ounces silver, and $25
in gold, per ton.

Death Of Mrs. Georre naris

il lie with deep regret that we learn Of The
sad death Of the wife Of Mr.. George Davis -
Mr.. Davis is a son Of Mrs. Mary ]. Davis an1
brother Of Mr.. John T. Davis Of our county
and we extend our heartfelt sympathy The
Fort Worth Gazette gives the following ae-
count OF the sad occurrence.
George Davis is a railway yard m s'er who
with bis wife and daughter, lived on Lamar
and Thirteenth streets. Yesterday morning
Mrs. Davis was preparing breakfast on gaso
line stove aud finding the fluid running low,
started TO Gil the reservoir from the can. Ia
moment there was an explosion and the
raiment Of Mrs Davis was 10 flames She
screamed for help and her husband rushed to
her assistance. Although suffering untold
agony, she retained her presence of mind and
told him to set a blanket. He did this, but
it too, caught FIRE, and it was necessary to
get second blanket, wrap it around the poor
woman and by hard work thus extinguish
the flames Neighbors came to the husbands
assistance and Mrs. Davis was carried to a
neighbours while physicians were summoned
and the fire department called out to save the
dwelling, which was now on FIRE Tha ply
sicians reported quickly and to them Mrs
Davis, still conscious, remarked You can
appreciate how | am suffering; help me all
you can. Chloroform was first administered
and then hypoderm;c injections of morphine
So tearfully was the lady burned the physi-
scian could not End sufficient area Of unburn-
ed skin under which to inject the morphine
except where the corset had protected it
Every hour the doctor called but could do
nothing, and at $50 the spirit Of Mrs. Davis
winged its fight. She was conscious to the
last aud told the loving but grief stricken
husband and daughter what she desired done
after her death. Among the last things she
said was, George, never forget TO take our
daughter 10 church on Sunday One Of the
attending physicians stated to gazette re-
porter that he had never seen human being
bear pain with such fortitude, he had never
witnessed such Christian strength to endure.
Not a moan, where a man would have Shrek
ed or groaned, this noble woman bore her
agony without a murmur, patiently.
The funeral took place the following day
from her late residence, corner Of Lamar aud
Thirteenth streets. At the time Of her death
Mrs Davis was 81 years old
