again, after defying the police of two
states and left behind her the most
valuable bit of evidence in the case
yet discovered. In the bath room OF
her vacated room in an up town hotei
were found three undated notes, writ
ten on soiled note paper in round,
girlish hand, identical with the hand
writing of the note found in the East
Orange bath room, pinned to the little
heap of clothes near the body OF Ocey
Snead. The notes vary slightly in
phraseology, but are all substantially
as follows:
Last year my little daughter died.
Other near and dear kindred, too,
have gone to Heaven. l long to go
there too. l have been very weak and
i'll long time. Death will be a blessed
relief to me in my sufferings. When

suicide. My sorrow and pain in this
world are greater than 1 can endure.

evicted from their homes, which were
owned by the company, one week in
which to return to work.

MASQUE BALL
AT Miners HALL
This EVENING
1T WILL BE A SIGHT TO SEE
MARTHA WASHINGTON DANCE
WITH THE PORTER

If you happen to catch a glimpse
of his Satanic majesty tonight,
don't lay it on to that No. you i'm
bibed on your way home. Or if you
happen to run across King Henry
w., or George Washington, it will
not be necessary to take the pledge.
Just drop in behind and follow them
to the Miners Exchange hall, where
the annual masquerade ball of the
Tonopah Musicians union will be in
progress.
Every conceivable design of cos
tune will be present and several
that are inconceivable. 1t may be
possible that some fair masked dam
sci will nod at you and for the sake
of politeness you should nod back,
even If you don't recognize her. She
may be the cook or your wife and a
little precaution should be used.
The prizes that will be awarded
have been on exhibition in the win
dow of the Tonopah drug store dur
ing the week, and they are worth
competing for. The committee hav.
ing charge of the arrangements
promise a royal good time for all
who attend. However, they reserve
the right to reject all Objectionable
characters. The music should be
of the best for the pick of the Mu-
sicians' union will furnish it.

BUIHDING A RAILROAD TO
THE TECOPA MINES

The building Of the spur from the
Tonopah and Underwater railway
from Tecopa to the Gunsite and
MONDAY mines Of the Tecopa Con-
solidated Is now in full swing.
Under the supervision OF Mr..
Ellis, 80 men are at work and 115
mules are making the dirt fly on
the grade.
The Tonopah and Tidewater rail-
way has just about finished the con-
struction of a sidetrack at the juno
ton. The work is being pushed
rapidly and it is expected that the
first ore train will pull in within
three months from the first of OctJ-
Der.
The salt works at Saratoga
Springs have started work with a
force of six men, and a San Fran
cisco expert is examining a large
gypsum deposit in that vicinity that
may effect sale of the property in
the near future.
The outlook for the Tecopa sec
ton in general seems very bright,
and as money is getting easier in
the east for good mining PROPOSE
tions, there is no doubt that sew
eral important transactions will be
made this fall.-Rhyolite Herald.

MANHATTAN PIONEER WILL
OPEN RESTAURANT IN
GEORGES CANYON

Mrs. A. F. Roosa, one of the pio-
neers of Manhattan and an owner
in the Black Eagle group of claims
in that district, passed through To-
nopah yesterday on her way home
from the east. En- route from the
east, Mrs. Rosa first learned of the
new district known as Georges Can
yon, and has decided to go there
within the next few days and en-
gage in the restaurant and bakery
business. News of Mrs. Roosa's de-
cision will undoubtedly bring joy to
the hearts of the miners of th2t
camp, who up to the present time
have been obliged to fall back on
their own resources so far as bread
and other edibles were concerned.
Mrs. Rosa, with the exception of
George Wingfeld, is one of the first
to reserve lot in the new townsite
of Marsh, located in Georges can
yon, and will make arrangements at
once for the erection of a suitable
building in which to carry on her
business.

LITE BURSTS

Shortly after midnight last night,

late home goers of this city had the
pleasure of witnessing the fight Of
a meteorite. The body disappeared
in the direction of the Halifax mine,
and just before passing out of sight
it appeared to burst like sky rocket
and molten bits of the fiery mass
were scattered in all directions. For
about a second the heavens were
aglow with the light and the sur
rounding hills had the appearance of
having been illumined with a high
power searchlight. -
