that the physician who attended the
unfortunate man diagnosed the case
as tuberculosis of the bowels, caused
by eating the sand while crazed from
lack of water.
Adams is now on his way to Chicago
to find the widow of his dead partner.
The two men met at Needles first
year ago. They had beaten their wa,
to California. During the time Nor
gan was wandering through the sands
lost he informed Adams that his wife
lived in Chicago. They had separated
over trivial affair and both had
been too proud to admit of hasty ac-
ton, so that as the months went bv
they had dr--ted steadily apart, Nor
gan leaving eventually for California
with the intention of putting as great
distance between himself and his
wife as possible.
But delirium came, Morgan poured
out his heart to his partner, and a
pledge was there made that, if Nor
gan ever died without having become
reunited with his wife, Adams was to
take to her Morgan g last farewell.
Adams hopes to be able to obtain
the consent of the widow to a sale Of
the mining property and, if this can
be arranged, he says he will never re-
turn to the desert again. In antici-
patton of his success he has given
away all his mining claims, except the
interest in the group of twelve, which
are now under option, the sale to be
finally closed as soon as he can get
Morgan's widow to sign the deed.

be more in the nature of deposit in-
stead of ledge. This deposit will
probably average about per cent
copper. The ore here also carries
small values in gold and silver. Mr..
Williams and associates have started
work on tunnel which will tap the
Arizona ore body at depth of about
250 feet. Every one in the district is
anxiously awainting the completion of
this tunnel, as it viii determine
whether the ores continue at depth.
There are several other lodges on the
above named group of claims which
carry much higher copper values, but
the the Arizona has the best showing
at present.
About 200 claims have been located
in the Pueblo district, and on almost
every one lodges have been found car
rying copper ores of commercial value
At the present time all the locators
are busy doing location work, but
many pending sales are reported.
Taken as a whole, the Pueblo min.
ing district is very promising that
there will be some fine copper mines
developed there in the near future.
AS Winnemucca is the nearest rail
road point, it viii undoubtedly be
greatly benefited if extensive develop
ment work should be carried on in the

YERINGTON, May 3.-The report
that Yerington has an epidemic of
diphtheria and scarlet fever is abso-

three resident physicians here brought
forth the information that there is not
at present nor has there been, a sim

have been four cases of scarlet fever
and one death from this disease and a
complication of other troubles. Due
precautions have been taken against
the spread OF the disease, and there is
absolutely no chance for it to become
epidemic.
