BLOWS OUT BRAINS WITH \ RIFLE
 BALL
(rs0m Tuesdays Daily.)

Despondent over his losses at the gaming table, and in n At of dcmcntia, induced by breeding over his financial revcrscs, Edward Packard. n ranchcr residing near Jerome, committe suicide in the Copper City, Sunday morning, at 7:30 o'clock, by blowing out nis brains with a Winchester rifle.
 Packard was 55 years of age, and had besn n resident of Jerome, the Verd. Valley and Sycamore Crock fos a number of years. He was the owner of ranch at the latter place. He leaves surviving him his sorrowing widow.
 Previous to committing tho rash act Packard had bcea in Jerome for sev- cral days past, engaged the greatc. part of the time in gambling. during which, 1t Is said, he lost heavily, m indslged frequently in liquor. This, however, is denied by. others.
 withput word as to his intentions to any of his friends or acquaintances, he walked to the Terrace livery stable, where hc secured tho Winchester firing a bullet into his brain, which tore away the upper portion of his sknll. death being ipstantaneous.
 There were no witnesses to tho sui eide, the first intimation those living near tho stable having that another of lifes tragedies had been enacted being the sound of the shot. When as. sitance reached Packard he was be- yond human aid.
 Deceased visited here about tw, weeks ago, and at that time appeared to be in his usual cheerful frame of mind. He made no mention of any heavy financial reverses, aAd news oi his suicide came as shock to his ncighbors and friends. Mrs. Packard is prostrated with grief over her hus. bands rash act.

SADDLE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE PLAN
 B|C PLANT Shelter Will Have A Capacity of 600
 Tons Daily All Depends On Action Of Southern Pacific
 Railroad
(Ftum Tuesday s DailyD

Unless the Sou'hcru Pacific rnilrOud should extend iis linc to the end of ,ts present graded roadbcd tn the Christmas district. thus bringing trans portation by rail within two miles uf the big Christmas mine. and to which . narrow gaugr roadbod has already been constructed, it x likely that the present shut down of this property will continue. as it is said to bc impossible for the mine to produce copper at T profit. at present prices, if the coke for the furnaces has to bo hauled hv wagon from Wiuklcman.
 A, present the mine is absolutely idle. only about twelve men remain. ing at the property. to look nftcr ,hr mine and smcltcr equipment The 2j"- ton smclter at the camp has never been blown in. and it has been decided by the saddle Mountain Mining company not to operate it. hut fl the railroad should build along the river to a point where the mining campnny can meet it with narrow gauge, it k said tho management will construct and opcr ate 6Oo,on smel,cr. it being the in. tsution. should this come 10 pass. ,o build the smelling plant on the river just below the site of the prescn, one, and convey the ores by an ariel tram from the mines to the smolter.
 It is said that the Saddle Mountain people have already drawn up plans for this proposed smel,cr. and arc only awaiting inc completion of the southern Pacifc's line. There K said to bc some hope that the railroad com pany will complete the line in the near future. as only two miles of track remain to bc laid, and as the company is reported to be losing on an average of sl3,0O0 per month in freight re- eeipis as a result of the shut down of the Christmas mine.
 The Saddle Mountain people, in ,h' meantime, nro formulating plan for future operations, which is declared Co be ahead of any of their past efforts and one which will preclude any fur ther shut downs, unless ocrasioncd by some unforeseen circumstances over which the management has no control
 Last year, despite temporary shut downs, occasiontd by floods and short age of coke, the Christmas mine pro duced 2,33s,t82 pounds of copper with some gold and silver, which had total value of some St7O,5t. Until the slump in the price of copper came tn, management continued to operate without n loss, despite the transporta. ton problem.
 Should the railroad complete it's line, and the company erect its G00-ton shelter, the entire Christmas district would no doubt quickly feel the in- nwnce of the enlarged operations, ms the building of tho smcltor would. in itself, be big thing for tho dis trict.
