WINNIE pAVIs,s DREAM.

A l.ccu.nstAu CO III connection with
the funeral of Miss Winnie Davis which
has created much interest aud no littls
discussion in Richmond was told by
Mrs. Davis to an intimate friend last
Friday. Immediately preceding he
departure for Atlanta last July 10 al
tend the Confederate reunion Miss
Winnie had 8 vivid dream of mes
terrifying character, in which she was
the central figure and her surroundings
those Of the valley of the shadow Of
death. The dream was so realistic and
clear in detail that it bore upon her
m'nd, and she carried 20 Atlanta the
unpleasant impression which it en-
graved upon her mind. For fear ii
would distress her mother in the same
way she would not tell her. She,
however, related the circumstance to
General Prince, and he told Mrs. Da-
Wis, who was rendered very uneasy
over it.
A short while after and before the
forebodipg of Miss Winnie's dream had
worn away, Mrs. Davis also had
dream. Ii occurred few days before
-'artipg for Narragansett Pier. Mrs
JAWS says she was in some place IN
known to her. There was great
commotion of people which she could
not understand. She asked burryine
passerby the cause of the excitement,
and he replied, winnie Davis is
dead" These double dreams REQUIRED
time and again to the sorrowiDg moth
er during her illness and help add to
the hopelessness Of her recovery, and
now that they have been fulfilled i
seems like warning of her coming

man, with supplies, lumber, etc, have
departed for the mines, and are now
engaged in active development work.
The Smith & Kent mines are the best
looking properties, considering the linn

that have ever been discovered in
Granite county, and the only reason
why the owners consented to dispose of
them was the difficulty experienced in
handling the water With the system
employed they found it impossible to
con inue operations in direction where
tllc liiulCdtlOuS were ulOSb promising,
and to secure pumps and machinery
was beyond the reach o. their moderate
means. A shaft has been sunk to a
depth of no feet and the showing in
the levels driven east and west or the
lead is excellent. Messrs Smith and
Kent employed whim in hoisting and
half of the time was taken up every
day i'll hosting water, which proved
rather expensive and delayed develop
ment work to no small extent The ore
at that depth is very high grade and a
good body of it is in sight. Samples as
saying from 1000 to 5000 ounces in silver
is nothing unusual from this property
and a shipment Of about thirteen tons
some time ago netted over $4,000.
a hosting plant is to be erected as
soon as the machinery can be put in
place, and with large pumps to handle
the water the property will soon be
among the prominent silver producers
of Granite county.
This property is situated in the most
promising mining section of the county
and since capital has been attracted in
that direction other investments will
be made and at no distant day quartz
mills will be running on Ross Fork
