SORROWFUL CHRISTMAS
FOR THE NIEBLOCKS
Their Nineteen-Day-old Girl Baby
Suffocated Accidentally in
Her Crib.

Yesterday was a sorrowful Christmas
for George and Emma Nieblock, who re-
side at 1918 Folsom street. Christmas eve,
so full of hope and pleasure to others,
brought them only the keenest anguish,
for their little baby girl, only nineteen
days old, was suffocated in its crib
On Tuesday evening, at 1880 o'clock, the
mother nursed the baby asleep and
an hour before midnight the father went
to the crib to kiss the baby good night,
but found that it had stopped breathing.
Mr.. Nieblock rushed out Of the house and
brought in a doctor who lived near by, but
all the efforts of the physician to resus-
citate the infant were in vain. The babe
had been suffocated by the blankets. The
case was reported to Coroner Leland, who
has ordered an inquest.

The work Of sinking the Gillett shalt

with good speed.
Operations on the Golden Giant and

Of experts, who recently examined the
properties.

yielded very handsome results. Moth

handled.
The Arizona mine is being worked
under lease by F. J. Davidson & Co.
Heretofore the great drawback to the
successful operation of this property
has been the great quantity Of water
which had to be contended with. Now
that the Gillett shaft has attained the
lowest depth OF any property in the
camp, it has had the effect OF draining
all the surrounding mines including
the Arizona.
