Down at Boundary Gone work is in

which recently such wonderfully rich
ore was found. The shaft is now down
eight feet and the same rich ore is in
the bottom of the hole. Mr.. Lane

some specimens from the shaft and
says that his partner has sold many
dollars worth of ore on the dump. The
rich ore is being crushed in a hand
mortar and the gold papned out in the
usual way. In this way more than ex-
penses are being taken out every day.
The ground surrounding the vein has
been ascertained to be wonderfully
rich in gold, but water being scarce no
effort will be made at present to re-
cover it. Every miner who has seen
the property is of the opinion that the
mine is one of the best in that country.

George Williams, who was so severely
burned in the fire which destroyed the

of the 26th of last month, died at the
county hospital last Sunday morning
from the effects of the injuries then
received. The poor fellow had suffered
the tortures of a hundred deaths, but
died without the slightest spasm Of
pain. He called to the attendant to
help him back onto the pillow, as his
head had slipped off. When he had
been made comfortable the attendant
walked away and at that moment DR..
Cowie came into the room. He went
at once to the bedside of Williams and
found him dead. The spark OF life
had fled as the attendant made him
comfortable on his pillow. The poor
fellow had been most terribly burned
all over the body and head, but it was
thought that he was getting along all
right. He informed the doctor that
his home was in Chicago and that he
was a harness maker by trade. He was
