Mrs. Cages Death.

A telegram was received last even ing announcing that Mrs. B. B. Gage, whose serious illness was announced in these columns yesterday had died in San Francisco at 3:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon. The news of her illness was a great surprise to her many friends here and the announce -ment of her death following so closely was great shock to them.
 Mrs. Gage has been a resident of the territory, with her husband, for about twenty years, having resided at Tombstone, Tucson and Prescott, and as a consequence was one of the best known woman in Arizona. She was possessed of a sunny and cheerful disposition, hence popula- with all who knew her. Without the cares of a family of children and possessed of ample means, she devoted much of her time to charity and to the work of administering to the happiness and comfort of others. While she left Prescott about two months ago with the intention of residing elsewhere and her departure was deeply de- plored, her friends found comfort in the thought that she would pay oc- casional visits to the place where she had so long resided, little thinking that the summons from the active scenes of life would so soon be issued. A good woman has been called to her reward
