time falling under the ropes into a box

In the ninth round Moriarity knocked

FOUND IN THE RACE.
Body of Mrs. Stanley Tuch-
ton Discovered This Morning.
MISSING SINCE THURSDAY NIGHT
SAD ENDING OF A MARRIED LIFE
JUST BEGUN-BODY SUPPOSED
TO HAVE BEEN IN THE WATER
SINCE SATURDAY AND BADLY
DECOMPOSED.


DECOMPOSED.
This morning about 1922 o'clock. as
Elmer Thompson was walking along
the Brandywine race, near Market
street bridge, his attention was drawn
to an object which kept dashing against
the flood gates at that point. He made
an investigation and discovered the
body OF woman. He notified the
Water Department authorities and a
line was procured and made fast to the
womans feet. Coroner Chandler was
notihed and upon arriving on the scene
took charge of the body and took It TO
his establishment
After arriving at the morgue the
body was Identified as that Of Mrs.
Stanley Touchton wife OF Stanley
Touchton, who operated a barrel fac
tory on Tatnall street near Fifth.
IL appears that Mrs. Touchton, in a
fit Of dependency committed suicide
She had threatened to take her life
about year ago, and at one time she
tried to kill herself by taking lauda-
mum.
Last Thursday Mr.. Tuchton gave his
wife Sll5 with which to purchase some
household furniture in the expectation
of going to housekeeping. Mrs. Touch
ton refused to take the money, saying
that she did not need It. She told her
husband of desire to visit friend by
the name of Biddelman, who lives on
Thompson street, Philadelphia. He
readily consented and escorted her to
the depot This was the last he saw
OF her until notified of her tragic end.
1t Is supposed that Mrs. Touchton
went to Philadelphia and returned 10
/ Wilmington without the knowledge of
her husband, and in one Of her des-
pondent moods committed suicide.
Mr. Touchton is greatly distressed
over the sad affair He says their re-
lations were Of the most harmonious
character.
Mrs. Touchton was elegantly dressed
and wore considerable jewelry. She
was about % years Of age. and was for
merly a Miss Peacock. She had only
been married to Mr.. Touchton since
last June.
The body had apparently been in the
water since Saturday. The face was
horribly dishgured and decomposed. II
was also injured about the waist from
the continual wach OF the water.
Several theories are advanced con-
cerning the woman's death. Some say
that 1t was impossible for her to fall
In at that point, while other contend
that she fell in farther up the race, and
J the body was washed down to the fio0c
gates and lodged there.
p Detective Witsil held a private con
ference with Mr. Tuchton this morning
at the coroner's Office. He will make
b further investigation this afteTnon In
Philadelphia No foul play is suspect
ed, but the matter will be entirely sift
ed. It is supposed to be a case Of sui
eide and nothing more.
Deputy Coroner Chandler will holC
an inquest The body will be tawen t'
Mr.. Touchton's home, No. 7l3 Tatnal
street, where the funeral will tak'
place.

IT IL probable arrangements will soon
De made which will permit the resump
tloh OF operations in the downtown dis
llict OF LeadYilla at an early day. bui
thefe are so many complications in the
situation that tiane Is necessary to rec
onciie conflicting interests.
The Yukon is navigable to rive,
steamers at least a month before nm
ocean vessel can reach the mouth OF
the river. Drift ice from the Arctic
ocen prevents a steamship from reach
ing the mouth of the Yukon until the
third week in June. The present yeat
the Portland arrived at st. Michael
June Goth, while the river had been
Gear of ice nearly four weeks.
Mining operators should not think
THAI a placer will be productive and
profitable as soon as water is put on
the ground. A phcer must be opened
and put in shape before ii can produce
profits, equally as we'll as a lode mine.
and putting wafer ON it is only the
first step in development. Usually 1t re.
quires one season after water is on the
ground to open a placer so 1t will paw
profits.
A suit will be filed in the District
Court of San Juan county within n
few days to determine a most import.
ant point Of mining law. The question
at issue is whether the owner of a min.
ing claim may follow his vein through
patented ground. taking all the ore ex.
cept mt the point of intersection of the
veins, or whether he must stop at the
lines of the patented claim with which
he may conflict.
At the Hartville. Wyoming. iron
mines Il shaft has been sunk on one of
the claims TO depth of sixty feet. and
the grade of ore has improved so much
as to considerably surprise the oper.
ators. If there be money in the sur.
face ore which has been shipped, it is
argued that there is a bonanza for the
owners in the lower depths Already
plans are being formed for largely in.
creasing the output by improving the
facilities for handling the ore. Among
The first necessary steps in this direc.
ton is the construction of spur to
the mines, and that this will be done
soon there is now but little doubt.
Hartyille has come TO stay" along
with ether coed things for Wyoming.
and the next few years will see many
similar enterprises in operation in va.
rious parts of the state.
The owner of the Lamartine mine.
who was secently in Idaho Springs.
from New York for a couple of weeks.
said THAI in the future the mine would
be worked for the production of gold
and lead. and that the silver produc-
ton would be by-prCduet. The silver
leads will not be worked. but those
which produce both metals will CON
tinue operation. There will be no de-
velopment Of tine silver leads. but the
gold=beafing ones will receive greater
attention than in the past Employment
Is given 10 about sixty-fve men, and the
mine is producing nice tonnage Of
ore that il gradually on the increase.
The tunnel drains the mine, and the
work in the future will be carried on
at q small expense when compared
with some three years ago. The group
comprises twenty-siX claims.

Mr.. AtkInsnn.s Mendacitr.

Somebody once called Mr.. Edward
Atkinson Americas ablest Far :"
With out endorsing the statement, it
can be said that his latest communica-

good evidence that he is competitor
for the title. He purports to give the
cost of producing silver by taking the
cost Of it's production in the Broken
Hill Proprietary of Australia as a ba-

bonanzas i'm the world. and il no more
furnishes reliable data for its cost,
than Fitzsimmons' fighting ability

is not supposed to be a fool. One of
two things is certain. Either he is a
