them showing galena and silver IN
small quantities and gold in abund-

one hundred dollars to the ton. 1t was
on this ground that the thirty foot hole
previously mentioned had been sunk
and where especially rich specimens
were found.
when the property was turned over
to the company work was discontinued
in the shaft and long cross cut tunnel
was commenced, which was to tap all
three lodges. The tunnel was to be 700
feet in length. Work was suspended
when only $50 feet of this had been
completed and it was in this condition

now has IA number of tons of ore sacked
ready for shipment, which will go to
the smelter in a short time.

AFTERMATH OF THE
ONYON TRAGEDY

Mrs. Chas. Birge is back in Love
lock after an exceedingly hard trip to
salt Lake as nurse to Mrs. VIM. On
yon.
The true facts of VIM. Onyon g
death, unrevealed at the time of his
untimely decease, bid fair to remain
forever a mystery buried deep in his
wife's deranged mind, if deranged
she be.
Leaving here on the morning of
April IL as nurse to Mrs. Onyon, Mrs.
Birge was accompanied by Mrs. On
yon s two children and her sister, the
latter almost Immediately developing
state of hysteria, which practically i'm
posed the responsibility of the entire
party's safety and comfort upon the
shoulders of the nurse.
Mrs. Onyon seemed to be suffering
from acute melancholia, moaning in
cessantly, her speech incoherent and
broken. From time to time she would
awake from this condition to say,
Poor Will, Poor Will"
To the nurse s question, "What
about it, Mrs. Onyon2" the nerve
broken woman would respond, "To
think that he would do thing like
that when | was i'll
To the nurse 5 inquiry as to how the
grim tragedy transpired Mrs. Onyon
replied, "He came to the bed and
kissed me as though to say good bye,
and then, my God, he shot himself,
turned and walked from the room and
died." ending her story in hysteri-
cal burst of weeping, and incoherent
words, whether curses, prayers or re-
grets; who knowsf
Add Onyon
While many widely divergent opinions
as to Mrs. Onyon s mental condition
have been expressed still in the opin-
ion of the nurse who was constantly
by her side on this trip there is lit
tie doubt but that the woman is hope
lessly deranged.
From the time Mrs. Onyon was re-
ceived at the hospital Mrs. Birge new
er saw her again, starting on her re-
turn trip the following day.
Mrs. Onyon was removed from the
hospital to her sisters home some few
days ago and is still there.

HISTORY Of CAMP
TOBIN AMID OF WORK
IN Progress There

G. w. Lang and l.. w. Crehore re-
turned from Tobin this week with W..
b. Joslyn in the Schacht runabout, via
Kennedy and Spring Valley, coming
over the Kennedy grade. The trip was
notable from the fact that it was the
first ever made over the Kennedy sum
NIT with an automobile from the Ken
nedy side.
They all speak well of Tobin and
were pleased with the showings made
at the camp. Passing over the surface
showings which were disclosed some
two years ago when the camp was first
struck, and speaking of conditions as
they saw them at the present time,
they report:
1.-THE formation IN which the leads
occur is andesite and rhyolite, which
in many places is capped with malapi
of varying thicknesses, the hills being
cut at frequent intervals by dykes of
lime, granite, granitoid and quartzite,
making an ideal condition for the for.
nation of mineral bearing lodges. The
surface in many places has been some
what disturbed and it is owing to this
fact together with the late financial
cricis that the camp has not made more
rapid progress. Also much time has
been lost, due to the usual mistake of
running cross cuts instead of following
tn ore by sinking. All the work done,
with the exception of one thirty foot
hole, had, up to last fall, been done in
this way, consequently the camp has
suffered.
Last fall however, Waldo & Hoyt
and associates commenced work on
what is known as the White Iris group,
sinking fifty foot shaft on a three
foot ledge, which showed high grade
milling rock clear across which panncd
free. At the bottom of the shaft the
values had somewhat increased and a
tunnel was run cutting the ledge at the
one hundred loot level. Drifting com
menced at this point, and an upraisc
was made TO connect with the bottom
of the shaft for air. A fault was en-
countercd at about the tunnel level
and it was not until few weeks ago
that the lead WAS encountered beyond
it in place, the ore running from five to
fifty dollars in gold and silver. Sink
ing was Immediately commenced which
will be continued to II point below
water level, matter Of fifty feet, to
determine what treatment will be best
suited to the ore below the water level.
As soon AS this is completed, arrange
ments will be made for the erection of
mill on the property.
"Last month the company which had
taken over w. s. Hills property was
forced to give up its bond on account
! of financial difficulties, the property
now being in the hands of Mr.. Hill, the
original locator and discoverer of the

DYNAMITED NEGRO LIVES
Physicians Marvel Thai Such a
Battered Person Can Survive.

Asheville Special llth.
The negro convict, Dave Nc
Cain, who was blown up by a
dynamite explosion at the con-
vict camps Saturday morning, is
at the Mission Hospital alive and,
the attending physicians say,
with a good chance for recovery.
That Mccain is alive and may
possibly recover is a marvel to
the physicians. He is literally
torn to pieces. Both eyeballs
were blown out at the time of
the explosion, his face and body
mutilated and pieces of stone
the size Of marbles driven into
and through the flesh. The ply
sicians picked small stones out of
the eye-sockets and from the
flesh. One arm has been ampu-
tated.
Strange to say, the negro has
never suffered any pain. This is
explained by the physicians who
say that the shock was 50 great
as to make the man immune
from pain. Mccain is said to be
the worst battered up man to be
alive that has come to the notice
of physicians here for many
years.

industrious and remunerative,
has refused to lay her customary

is toned by tobacco. So each

can of chewing tobacco and she
takes a chew.

for, of course, nothing is rarer
than hens teeth. This hen
pecks at the tobacco in the can,
plainly with great enjoyment,

The love of tobacco must be
an acquired taste for a hen, just
as are caviar and olives for

RICHLY MERITED TRIBUTE
The Movement to Honor the
Women of the Confederacy
as Seen by a Northern News

paper.
New York Tribune.
However the people of the
country may differ as to the
issues involved in the civil war,
there can be only one opinion re-
garding the bill introduced in
the Legislature of South Caro-
lima providing for a monument
to the women ofthe Confederacy.
Full recognition of the heroism
of these women has been unani-
mously accorded by Northern as
we'll as Southern writer's, and it
is fitting that future generations
should have a visible reminder
of the self-sacrifce Of that part
of the population which did it's
heroic work during four dark
years. not to the inspiring music
of the military band or in that
excitement Of the battlefield
which leads to self-fCrgetfulness,
but on the deserted plantation,
in the midst of almost incOnceiv-
able hardships.
In any war the women are
called upon to carry fully as large
a share of the burden as the men.
1t is not they who bear the arms
and who hear the Whistling of
the bullets over the field of bat
tie, gray with smoke, but it is
the Women's ears that are strain
ed for eWs from the front, and
the women's hearts that ache
for those never to return. For
them there is none Of the inspir-
alton which a united host creates:
they must carry not only their
own burdens, but in many in
, stances are compelled to pick up
,, those laid down by the men who
have gone to the front.
All that the North suffered
during the war the South suffer,
ed two-fold. The South was
drained Of it's strong men to ar
! extent hardly conceivable in the
, North. Not only were the wo.
men left to carry on almost al
the work of their country, yeal
after year, with such assistance
as they could secure from the
negroes who had remained faith.
