Mrs. R. f. Foley Expires While
Retiring for the Night.
WAS TO RETURN TO CARSON
Had Been Visiting Daughters In Eiko
and lovelock. Husband Was
BY Her Side.

A very sad and sudden death oc-
Cured at the home of Mrs. John Hill
in Lovelock Sunday night, when Mrs
Nora, wife of R. F. Foley, Of Carson,
was taken suddenly i'll and expired be-
fore physician could be summoned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foley had been to
Elko to visit married daughter and
had stopped off in Lovelock to visit
their daughters, Mrs. A. C. Hill and
Miss Catherine Foley. They expect
ed to continue their journey to their
home in Carson City Monday morning
on an early train and we're spending
the night at the home of Mrs. John
Hill here in town.
Having visited until late, Mr.. and
Mrs. Foley went to their room to re-
tire for the night about | o'clock.
As she was undressing to go to bed
Mrs. Foley was suddenly overcome,
her husband noticing the attack just
in time to catch the beloved form in
his arms and save her falling to the
floor. He hastily gave the alarm and
DR.. Pinniger was summoned. lie had
retired for the night and it was prob
ably ten minutes before he arrived to
administer restoratives. but death had
fastened upon the beloved one before
the physician had been summoned,
and there was naught that could be
done.
1t was indeed a sad homegoing for
the husband and daughters Monday
night, as they accompanied the body
to Reno, and from there, the follow
ing day to Carson. A husband, one
son and four daughters mourn the loss
of beloved wife and mother. The
cause of death was either heart fail
ure or appoplexy, exact determination
of which could not be made without
an autopsy. Mrs. Foley was appar-
emily in the best of health up to with
10 the moment before the attack came.
Being but fifty two years of age and
in appa.ent good health there was an
expectancy of many years yet of life
and happiness with those whom she

Excited Prospectors Swarm the
Hills West of Town.
ARTHuRBELL MAKES BIG STRIKE
Nuggets Of Gold Big As Grains Of
Wheat In Ledge Foot Wide
Near Surface.

Last week we spoke of the encour-
aging finds in the foot hills west of
town, at the right of the Vernon road
as it enters the canyon back of Lone
Mountain. This week we have q
more exciting tale to tell of that
camp.
Tuesday night Arthur Bell, who is
doing assessment work on his claims
there. came in with some specimens
of ore showing chunks of gold as
large as grains of wheat. In some
cases the rock was hung together
with cores of wire gold.
The appearance of this rock about
town set the prospectors wild and by
midnight they were rushing for the
scene of the strike like a flock of
sheep. Some on horseback, some on
foot and in all sorts of rigs, locating
claims by the bright light of the
moon. By this time the hills are To-
Gated for miles on each side of the
mouth of the canyon.
Again the "close-in" ground, which
has been trodden over by citizens of
-Lovelock all these years is yielding
up its golden treasure. In the piece
which Mr.. Bell brought to town there
were some beautiful nuggets. These
samples were taken from not over
two feet below the surface and while

EDITOR TRIBUNE: The 23rd Session

was organized by the Republicans,

there was only q mere stringer of
quartz on which Mr.. Bell started to
work, it is now foot wide and widen
ing very rapidly. No assays have
been taken from this specimen rock,
but assavs from $40 to $lOO have
been taken from full width of lodges
three to eight feet wide.
One group of claims has already
been sold to Utah capitalists, who ex-
pect to begin development soon and
with this latest excitement the hills
to the west will be the scene of Great
activity for this Spring.
The attention of prospectors was
first called to this place by the find
ing of gold in one of the holes dug
for telephone poles on the Vernon
line. Mr., Waldo, who noticed the
values as he threw the dirt out made
some of the first locations, and was
the first to call attention to the dis
trict.
Now many Lovelockers hold claims
and assessment work is being done on
many locations. This is SO close in
that low values could be worked at
profit.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Prosecutor starts Residence De-
stroyed mrs. g. p. bbott's
Life Lost.

Lire LOSC.
On Thursday afternoon last the beauti-
ful home Of Prosecutor Lewis Starr, on the
bluff on East Cooper street, was destroyed
by fire. At about 230 o'clock Mrs Starr
and her sister, Mrs. Edward Greene, were
on the second floor of the house, Mrs.
Greene visiting her mother, Mrs. G. F..
Abbott, who was lying i'll with erysipelas
in the north west room on the second floor,
while Mrs. Starr was in her daughters
room, when the latter detected the odor OF
smoke. Going to the library, on the first
floor, where the Christmas tree was, Mrs.
Starr opened the door and discovered the
tree in a blaze. Without waiting to close
the door Mrs. Starr rushed through the
library, out the Poplar street entrance, to
the FIRE alarm box in front Of the house
leaving both doors open. Mrs. Greene, on
the second floor, crossed the hall to the
room vacated a moment before by Mrs.
Starr and raising window gave the alarm
to the neighbors, and she too neglected to
close the window. When Mrs. Starr re-
turned to the house, after giving the alarm,
the halls from first floor to roof. we're
mass of flame, and heavy black smoke was
pouring from the open windows. After
giving the alarm, Mrs. Greene attempted
to re-cross the hall to get her mother, who
was in bed with her face, even her eyes,
tightly bandaged, but was driven back
by smoke, with the window the only avenue
Of escape. Somebody placed small lad
der, that reached below the window sill,
and down this Mrs. Greene made her escape.
A. L. Rogers, Esq, Assistant Prosecutor,
arrived about this time and mounted the
ladder, and entered the room in an heroic
effort to get Mrs. Abbott, but was nearly
overcome with smoke, and in getting back
fell from the ladder and broke his right leg
inst above the ankle.
The fireinen were on the ground in from
four and half to five minutes after the
alarm was given, but their labors were OF
no avail. Determined efforts were made
to rescue Mrs Abbott from her room, but
the dense smoke drove the fremen back.
When the fire was finally gotten under
control, the body of Mrs. Abbott was found
on the floor, not far from the window,
showing that she had left the bed and made
an effort to reach the window, when over
come with smoke. Only her feet were
burned, and those but slightly.
The Starr home was a large stone strue-
ture, sumptuously furnished, and when the
flames we're subdued, only the floor walls
remained. The family consisted of Mr.
and Mrs. Starr, three children and Mrs.
Abbott, and every article of furniture,
clothing, ETC., except those worn BY the
several inmates, was destroyed.
It is understood the property is we'll IN
sured. but when it is recalled that the loss
is SO sweeping, including every article
within the house, the loss must far exceed
anv insurance the most careful owner might
deem adequate.
Mr.. Starr was at his Camden office and
returned home in time TO sec last flicker OF
the flames. The oldest daughter was in
Philadelphia with friends, and did not
learn Of the loss until her return.
