Sill More COunterfeiting,

The Secret Service has unearihed an. other band of counterfeiters and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never suspect them of be- ing spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for inn itation, notably the celebrated Hostet- imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach IS in good order it makes good blood and plentyo it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of coun terfeiiers when buying.

 Way There.

The Range News says: A force Of ex- pert copper minors under NIT Jack te- wsrt arrived Monday from Clifton and went out to the Oregon mine, where the work of sinking the shaft is being vigorously prosecuted. The manages ment expect by the end oi next week to reach the 100 foot level and will then put on additional men to run tunnels each way On the ledge, while another force continues sinking. No effort will be spared 10 develop the mine as rapidly as possible. Three loa Is Of heavy mine timbsrs have been sent out from Wilcox this week for use in the shaft. Work has com menced on the road to connect the mine with the new townsite of Larb City, and a company boarding house and other buildings are to be erected at once.
 We are informed that the stock of the company is being rapidly taken both by local business men and out side investors. The mine is slowing up well and all believe that the long, looked fo: opening up of Dos Ca5ez IS camp is now assured.
 Besides the Con5olided Mines con- pany, half a dozen less pretentious concerns are irdustriou,ly developing other promising properties in the district.

 George Metz is working twenty five men on the Cotton wood mine and has also begun the development of the Artic copper mine, boaded from the Fall eytate. The Cotton wood mill is running day and night oi gold ore.

Miss Annie Kane, the unfortunate girl who was com nitted to ths in.ane asylum from this county about . year since, and who was discharged from that institution on Monday last, re. turned to Tombstone on Thursday.
 This morning Mise Kane attempted to commit suicide and at present writing is at deaths door. Miss Kane hao been the guest of Mrs. Cv Far we'll, wife of the wellknown black smith, and this morning when Mrs. Farwell called Miss Kane to break fast she received no responee. Inves- tigation revealed the fact that the un- fortunate girl had taken an overdose of morphine or cocaine, evidently with suicidal intent. Dr. Walter was immediately summoned and admin. istered antidotes to counteract the poison but faint hopes arc entertained for her recovery. Miss Kane did not seem to be melen choly the night be- fore and announced her intention Of going to Bisbee today. She left no word or note tbat she contemplated the rash act.
