Old AurOralte Dead.

Thomas Donahue. one of the oldest
Aurora residents, was found dead
in his home few days ago. The
cause of his death is unknown. Mr..
Donahue was the owner of very
promising mining property in Au-
rora, which he had bonded to DIR.
Brooks, of Bodie. The DIR. made the
remark some time before Donahue's
death that the sale of the property
would be made, but it was doubtful
if the old gentleman lived to enjoy
the benefits of the money he would
receive. There is only one more old
timer living in Aurora, but the
camp is filling up with new people.
A. ]. McCone paid Aurora a visit
this week to inspect his mining and
milling properties.
