needless. Her superb voice, her fascinat-

gestures, her black eyes, Irresistible mirth
these, and the understandable something
more, make up the dazzling persona ton
by which the artist has made her name
famous in every part of the world
Her marvellous artist temperament has

tenuating circumstances.

celery compound at all such times of low
nervous energy appears in the following

 Considerable activity is reported from She SiveF Bell mining district. Some of the mines in this district have been largely worked in the past and large quantities of copper ore of high grade extracted. From various causes the principal mines have more recently been comparatively idle; however, it is now expected that the Tucson Mining & | Company will, at an early day, commence much more extensive opera l tions on their properties and that the ! bonded to J. D. Burgess snd | G. H. Sisson, of the Saginaw Mining 1 will be largely worked | and reduction plant erected. Tucson Star.
