THEY GAVE HER A SHOT,
Orc FilO Runs Over Seven Hundred
D0llarS-Tha Snow Gone.

j. A. Fry reached Grangeville
from the Hump Monday. He re
ports the snow having gone off at
a great rate and the big mountain
as practically bare.
When he left there was scarcely
four feet of snow on the summit of
the Hump, and at Lake creek none
at all.
According to Mr.. Fry the test
being made of the Big Buffalo have
proven exceedingly satisfactory.
The pumps are hard at work on
the water in the shaft and have
succeeded in practically clearing
the mine Of water. The tests.
however, are not being made in
the shaft, but on other claims
which form this group. At the
time Mr.. Fry was preparing to
leave they were putting shots into
the Orc Fino, one of the group in
question. The result exceeded the
most sanguine expectations, the as
says averaging over 500 to the
ton.
Mr.. Fry, in partnership with
Dave Pugh, has been engaged in
driving beef cattle into the Hump.
So far prices have made the enter
prise a paying one, as 25 cents per
pound have been realized.
The number in camp at present
is estimated at from five to six
hundred, with daily additions.
This, however, refers only to the
two tOwnsites and their surround
ings. The sides of the Hump are
swarming with prospectors, and if
they were counted in, the number
would reach way up into the thou
sands.
From other sources it is learned
that Mr.. Fry stated he had assisted
in the burial of man who died of
ruptured bladder and other COM
plications at the Hump. He made
no mention Of the matter, however,
directly to the representative of
this paper, and the rumor so far
lacks confirmation.

He kept his resolutions maybe three months and then began drinking again. He con tinued against the protest of all. against the doctors orders and his own knowledge and better judgment. This course he pursued over q year; the incislon Ill his throat having been made Dec. 1897. Our mother died purely of a broken beart last September, and after that time he pursued his course so uni elentingly that l was compell- ed to ask a cessation in his drinking or that he make his home elsewh here.
 He chose the latter without hesi- ton and left, as thought only tenn porarly. but have not seen nor heard direct from him since. To my knowledge though he spent some time in Natchez. Miss, and think short while in Baton Rouge. That is the extent of my information in regard to his movements until his arrival in your city, when I heard  through a friend of his pr senee there.
 He was born in Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 10, 1898, lived several yeurs in Birmingham, where he was married. His wife is living, also a baby. UT boy I should say, six years of age, but on account of his habits he had not lived with them for four or five years. During that time he lived principally in Vicksburg, only com ing to Louisiana since my removal here little over year ago.
 He started in life with bright pros- poets and great promise, but whisky and cigarettes made the wreck to a great extent. He was sent from Vicksburg to Dr. Joacquin for treatment in 1898, stayed few days, took in the place and re turned with out keeping his engagement with Dr. J., stating that he was not fa- Vorably impressed and did not in- tend to be treated, and then began a wilder career than ever, there being absolutely no power nor influence to stay him.
 My condition financially is not such as to allow me to take charge of his remains at present, though my inability is a source of grief.
 Again thank you for your effort and sign myself. HIS SISTER.

 His death at a distance and among strangers in such a tragic manner unnerves me and makes me regret that l did not bear with him, though his leaving me was purely voluntary and took place not more than efgat months ago. Cigarettes was tht main cause of his trouble, previous to the operation. and led to it by stricture of the larynx and was per. formed by Drs. A. T. Mitchell anc Waldauer of Vicksburg. Miss.
