Such a Shocking Picture.

a correspondent writes: "a friend of
mine who has just returned from Palestine
told me an amusing little story. During her
stay at Bethlehem, where she remained a
fortnight, she had chosen a domicile in a
convent Of the town, the sisters of which
contrived to make a pretty good living by
receiving lady travellers and giving them
shelter ard food, not of the first quality.
On the day of her arrival. as she entered
the dining room, her eyes were attracted
by a huge portrait OF the late Empress of
Austria. IT was a copy Of the ~well-known
picture representing the imperial lady in
full court dress, crowned by the most mar
velous head of hair that ever was seen,
and my friend looked aghast at the nun
who accompanied her. The sister blushed
and said: 'Yes-the shouiders-you see,
madam. when her Majesty sent us her per-
trait from Vienna, after her visit to Pales-
tine. and her stay I'm our humble home, we
were overwhelmed with joy. Our first
thought was TO hang ii in our chapel. But
then that gay dress. Then we decided to
decorate our refectory with ii. and so we
did, only we could not have constantly be-
fore our eyes those bare shoulders and that
bust half covered. We were i'm sore en-
barrassment. when happily our lady su-
peri0r, who is a very clever woman, came
TO our rescue. She took q pair Of scissors

lion and a half, and the terms provide that
the owners shall be paid for these mines
within a certain time. The object of taking
a bono and not buying the mines outright
is to allow time for the sinking of a great
water shaft in a place most favorable for
the drainage Of Tombstone.
TO PUMP THE WATER OUT.
This work is now in progress. and a
-seven-foot shaft is now being sunk.
It's down about five hundred feet. Mr..
Gage expects to strike water level with an
other one hundred feet and by Feb. 1 to
have a million-dolIar pumping plant in OPP
Grafton which will be sufficiently powerful
TO reduce the water level in all of the mines
which it may be desired to work.
1t is believed that the character of the
ore viii change below water level, and in
stead of using the 155 stamps which were
in the various mills constructed years ago,
a large smelter will be used to reduce the
ore and extract the gold and silver there
from.
Tombstone is already looking up. People
who have hung on during the dull days
now enjoy renewed hope. Old buildings are
being cleaned out and people are moving in.
The old Cancan restaurant, which was a
notable institution I'm the palmy days, is
again doing a more than perfunctory bust
ness. The daily stage now brings to Tomb
stone mining experts. investors and min
ers, and their faces are eagerly scanned by
the old inhabitants. for it is a long time
since the pleasure of new acquaintance
has been given them.
The Tombstone Of the future will never
be the Tombstone of the past. it will lose
the picturesque features common to all big
Western mining camps in the early days,
but the prospects are good for a large and
prosperous camp. plenty of mines operated
regularly, Dig pay rolls, shelters Will their
many side industries and new railroads. In
deed, the surveyors are now in the field
marking the line for an extension OF the
Rock Island Railroad. which will make
Tombstone one OF its principal stations.
This indeed will not be the Tombstone OF
the early eighties, but its new prosperity
will be built upon a more solid foundation
and it will become greater than ever. Ari-

OWNERS DISAGREED.
The ore in all these mines was just as
rich and just as plentiful as when Tomb
stone was IN its palmy days. but the owners
of the mines were not able TO reach an
agreement in regard to pumping the water.
There were some other reasons why work
was suspended in some Of the claims, such
as d change in the character Of the ore, but
It may be said that the principal reason
why Tombstone ceased TO exist as a great
mining camp was that no scheme could be
devised satisfactory TO all for reducing the
water level. Thus Tombstone saw the pop
ulation diminish day by day, until, instead

There was a man, however, who had been
IN Tombstone from the earliest discovery,

His name is Grow. He was the engineer Of

The reader Of this will concede: first,
that what follows having taken place in

proved to be true; second: that there is
a vast difference between opinions
publicly expressed by a resident Of To-

opinions daily met with in the same pa
per's columns given by people living in
Maine or Montana. Read this case and
acknowledged both points.
