UnWatering
Tombstone Mines.

Yesterdays Prospector says it il
reliably informed that the location of
the proposed new working and pump
ing shaft for the working of the Tomb.
stone mines and draining of the lower
levels has been decided upon and pre-
liminary work looking to the starting OF
same at an opportune time is being
quietly prosecuted.
The location of the combination shaft
which is to be of triple compartment
size and sunk to water leYel, is at the
point on the Flora Morriso ground near
the road leading to the Grand Central
and opposite the old workings of the
Contention, about 200 yards from the
Weeds Cottage on the side hill. Orders
to begin the work of sinking have not
been given nor is it known definitely
when the same is to begin. However
the work OF installing hoist and gal
lows frame on the grouni begins tomor-
row the machinery now at the Tribute
mine of the Toughnut Company are to
be transferred to the new location, in.
structions having been received today
to proceed with its removal.
Although this is one of the prelimi-
nary steps to be taken in the big enter
prise the news is certainly to be rega rd-
ed as very encouraging and matter OF
eongratulation TO Tombstone people.
The Prospector will keep its readers
fully advised of any new developments
and until such time as circumstances
justify, our advise previously given to
those seeking employment still holds
good.

"The effect of the consolidation, said
Mr.. Myers, twill be greater profits for
stockholders, but not through increase

contrary we are reducing prices. The
profits are to be made larger by extend

Ended the Life
of bis Employer,

New YoRg, April 5 3--Without the
slightest quiyer in his voice and display.
ing no outward sign OF regret or remorse
Charles F. Jones, secretary and valet Ia
the late VIM. Marsh Rice, confessed
under oath that he had ended the life
Of his employer and benefactor with
chloroform.
The confession was the climax OF q
remarkable recital in which was laid
bare the details OF the alleged conspi-
racy which had for its object the seizure
of $3, ,000, 900 in cash and negotiable Sc
curities and the appropriation OF 5000,
600 in realty to the uses OF the alleged
chief conspirator. The self-eonfessed
murderer told the story Of the alleged
plot from its inception. The capital
crime he committed and all the minor
offenses that preceded were, he'deeared,
at the instigation and direction OF Albert
T. Patrick.
1t was Patrick, he said, who in
duced two persons to witness the
forged signature. 1t was Patrick Hho
determined that Rice should die,
and it was Patrick who sought to
have him killed slowly and then
becoming impatient determined up
on quick action and according to
Jones, remarkable as it may seem, Rice
never knew Patrick during his lifetime
and never saw him but once.

that it will be because annexation will
