Barns table. Mass, Aug. i.-Thc gen
oral tendency IF the inhabitants of
southeastern Massachusetts 10 seek Il
livelihood in the cities, has received
u check during the last few years by
reason Of the success attending the
business of the entertainment of tho
summer visitors. Much of this success
has been due to the helping hand pol
icy Of the state i'll the Improvement Of
the harhors and the highways. The
weather this year, III spite Of the unfa-
vor;tb!c spring. has also caused but
little complaint and midsummer re-
ports from many of Tie resorts indi-
cate that if the present conditions hold
for few weeks more, the harvest from
the temporary SoJournur will max"

many years.
Tho state Of Massachusetts, began tho
Improvement Of the little harbnrS. as
supplementary to the government w"rl;
in the deeper waters. about Il years
ago and not long after the work of
making the sandy highways of Cape
Cod something more than paSSaDlc

been improved.
The great increase in power boats
during The past few years has cnrha-
sized the need of harborS which may
not necessarily DC of great depth, but
which may be accessible at any It'd"
and there is at present scarcely 10 miles
along the Massachusetts coast except
on the back side of Care Cod, where
it is not possible for these boats to
find safe haven in stress of weather.
But the hotel keeper and the owners
of summer residences have not derived
all the benefit from the states bonn
ty. Consideration has also been given
to those hardy inhabitants who supple
mcnt the summer entertainment bust
ness by winter fishing, especially the
shell fish branch. OF the seven different
appropria tons which the last Lcgisla-
turc made for the harbors of Cape Cod
and the adjacent islands five were for
the development of inlcts used almost
exclusively by fishermen.

BOTH ARE DEAD.
Mysterious Shooting A.
fair at Newmarket, N. H.
Rose and Jerry Remission Found
Dying Beside Road.
Most People Think 1t a Case Of
Murder and Suicide.

Newmarket, N. H., Aug. 4.-Rose
Remission, Is years old and Jerry Ken
niston, aged 81, are dead as the result
of Il rather mysterious shooting which
occurred on the Old Durham Point road
about O'Clock Saturday Afternoon. Tho
girl ana the man, who though bearing
the same name, were not related to
each other, were well known in this
village. Two men, Olin Stevens and
Oliver Sanhorn, while at work in u
havficld near the road heard the groans
of the dying victims and found them
living beside the road with terrible gun
shot wounds.
The weapon, the barrel of which was
wet with blood as though it had been
used as Il club as well as Il gun, lay in
the dust not far from the bodies. Ac-
cording to Stevens and Sanhorn. Jerry
Remission made some rather incohcrcnt
statements about shooting. alleging
that the double crime was committed
by the girls father but every circum-
stance as at first. viewed, indicated
that the dying man had shot the girl
and then himself. 1t was also learned
that the father OF the girl was at work
some distance away at the time the
shooting probably took place.
AS the condition of the man and girl
was 50 DANGEROUS, it was not thought
advisable to rcmovc them to 4 hospital,
the nearest one being eight miles away
ana both died within an hour where
they lay in the road. Medical Referee
r.. A. Lance Of Portsmouth was sum-
mnncd here but did not arrive until
late tonight.
Bert Davis, Il former police officer of
the town said that Remission had tried
to borrow Il gun or revolver of him
few days ago, saying at that time that
he wanted to kill himself. Remission
had been seen many times with the
Young girl. Rose Remission. 1t was
suggested that jealousy might have
been the motive, if it was he that did
the shooting.
although the medical referee was not
prepared to give his decision in the
case up to 1880 o'clock tonight, popu-
lar discussion of the shooting gave HUE
room for dubt but that it was Il case of
and suicide.
The girl was shot twice. her face anG
arms being badly laccratcd. Apparently
= r., ;d that her wounds would not prove
fatal. her assaiIanl struck nor over The
head with the heavy double barrel Of
tbn shotgun. After the stunning blow

weapon upon himself, shooting twice
and iniicting terrible wounds in his
face and body.

All timbers and supplies for the tunnel are taken up in the tram cars. Ore sent down from the tunnel lately carried additional ore from old work ings well toward the top of the hill This ore comes from big dump on which during early operations at the property all ore thought to fall below three per cent was thrown, the bal snce being shipped.

 Four more groups, situated ip the vicinity of Winkleman, were taken up on working bonds last week and par tial payments were made in each in stance.
 Engineer Benedict and associates of Nevada obtained a bond on the Jacob Snyder group, which adjoins the O'Carroll group on the west. The pur- chase price could not be learned as terms of the bond were not given out The Nevadans also bonded the Me Hugh group, which adjoins the Shy der group on the west and north for $120.0O0. paying ten per cent down.
 Nevadans also obtained bonds cn the Seventy-nine mines and the O'Brien and Wilson properties which surround the Seventy-Eine. The price on the Seventy-nine Is s60.000 cf which Judge George Scott gets $10.- 900, Robert Branaman $1o.00o. J. |.

Desert Plants.

Plants of the desert, as a rule. pos sess few leaves, the cactus, for fn- stance. being mostly spines. There is q very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small a surface as pos sible to the dry air, For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume q vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points as the maple-from which the rain drops of. Were the leaves hatter the rain would collect and make them rot.

 All of these properties win develop into large producers as they are situ- ated in the Christmas ore zone in which some of the largest high grade ore bodies in Arizona have been un- covered. Developments at the O'Car- roll group prove the continuation of the Christmas ore beds into that ground and there is ample evidence that they continue on west through the other properties sbove mentioned.
