GOV ring period of eighteen months.
 The claims are located in the Santn Maria district, fourteen miles north west of Hillside station, the nearest 'ailroad point, covering part of the 'amc vein being developed on the Nci nan Crosby group, lately purchased by he same concern.
 In view of the fact that the prin. | 'ipal development on the ground con. isis of number of shafts the deepest If which tx only for'y.cight feet, and rom inc bottom of which q 3n foot | irift has been run. inc consideration is large one, but the showing in inc Ncinnn- Crosby group is SD encouraging, 'ouplcd with the fact that in the open 'ngs on the Belle and Wedge there is | paystrcah from one foot to eighteen inches in thickness. that samples as high as SGo to the ton in gold, as io ustiiy inc high yaluc placed upon inc property hN the owners.
 Under the terms of the bond develop. ncnt will be immediately started on inc Belle and Wedge. Iloistiug machinery will be installed and n compartment 'hnft continued lo H considerable depth on the vein.
 Before negotiations for inc transfer If inc Belle and Wedge claims to the Montana Arizona company were closed l. k. Miller, who has been engaged in mining in inc distric, for number of years, had secured an option of pur. 'hasc on the Marshall group of mines, located two miles southwest of the Nciman'C Crosby group, from William Marshall. This group of seven claims covers the same lead or ledge that passes through the Nciman Crosby and Belle and Wedge claims, and has n very promising showing. IL is located within two miles of the santa Maria river, where there k ncvcr.failing water supply. In number of shafts and tunnels on the claims orc bodies are exposed from one to two feet in thickness, averaging in gold values from S30 to $60 to the ton. The ore is of the same character as in the other properties on the vein, the high grade values being found in quartz and hcna. tie.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
Of Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted Of
going without hats. This is the way
he told it to an interested company:
You see everybody down there
going about Just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just like them"

killed his wife in the Saratoga Hotel
today and then committed suicide by
shooting himself through the heart.
The cause of the tragedy is I'M
known. The couple came to the ho-
tel late last night and registered I'M
der the names given above Nothing
was seen or heard of them until to-
day when the sound of revolver
shot was heard.
An occupant of an adjoining room
rushed in and found the woman dead
on the floor with two bullet, wounds
in the head Andrews was standing
over her with a revolver in his hand,
the blood flowing from his head. The
police were summoned and Andrews
was taken to a hospital, but died
just as he reached there There was
no sign of a struggle between the
pair.
On table in the room was found
letter evidently written by An
drews and addressed to c. w. An
drews, Jr., Elkhart, Ind. The letter
contained the following sentences,
which leads the police to believe
that the murdered woman may not
have been Mrs. Andrews.
Ethel and myself have not been
feeling very well of late. You know
the reason why. Be good boy and
