was so small that the balls
were not sent through the skull

and grief for his deceased wife, together
with the revival of her loving memory
by visit TO her grave, led Browne to
attempt to take his life. With the fourth
shot Browne fell PROSTATE directly
Across His yyifess Grave.
On the back of letter Browne. just
before shooting himself. wrote the fol-
lowing In busIneSS-like hand:
my Brother Masons: Bury me IN this lot

Bear Gulch Mines.

Prof. Eckhart came down from Bear
Gulch Tuesday evening, having perma-
nently abandoned work upon the proper
ties in that camp Upon which he secured a
bond last summer. It will be remembered
that a company of capitalists, represented
by Prof. Eckhart, secured a bond upon a
group of four mines in that district, and at
once erected a ten-stamp mill with which
to treat the output. This mill was kept in
operation principally upon the output of
the Legal Tender and Graham until the ex-
piration of the bond, with fairly satisfac-
tory returns, but the company were not sat
isfied with the extent of the mineral deposit
as shown by the limited development they
were able to make. 1t was therefore de-
cided to ask an extension of the bond upon
terms favorable to the original owners of
the properties. These negotiations which
have been pending since the expiration of
the bond about six weeks ago, terminated
unsatisfactory the past week and is prob
able the company will soon remove their
mill to some other district. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that some favorable arrangement
could not have been agreed upon for an ex-
tension and operations continued in order
TO determine the extent and character of
the gold deposits of hat district. If the
mineral exists in quantities claimed and as
is generally believed, the owners of these
properties could we'll afford to accept the
liberal terms offered by Mr.. Eckhart for an
extension OF the lease.-Ente rprise.
