ceived a telegram Tuesday afternoon
stating that Mrs. Albertine Mock
and daughter, Berteen, had been
found dead in their bed Tuesday

cured the young prisoners liberty
and funds were provided to send
James Mock to his home.
On arriving in Savannah yester-
day, he found that his mother had
entered her bed room with her
daughter, turned on the gas jet and
waited for death with her little
daughter in her arms.
The following letter was the only
message which greeted the young
man, who was released from Jail

death:

RICH COPPER FIND
IN MASON PASS
Another Indication of Richness
of Yeringtonn District.

A strike of immensely rich copper
ore was made in the Mason Pass sec
ton of this district this week by Matt
Guthrie, Spencer and Williams, who
short time ago located a fractional
claim near the Mcdonald property
now untier option to MIR Geddes. The
boys started to do their location work
the first of the week and about the first
pick struck into the ground showed
ore that made their eyes open. They
made the dirt fly when they saw what
they were uncovering and the indi
cations now are that thy have the
biggest body of high grade ore yet
discovered in that section of the dis
trict
With every foot of trenching and
cut work done the ore has improved
in value Just how big the ore body
is no one yet knows, but ore is ex.
posed a considerable distance around
a shaft which has been started on the
strike and is now down less than
dozen feet Nearly carload of high
grade shipping ore has already been
taken out of this hole and will soon be
sent to the Thompson smelter. From
all indications the ore will run as high
as 20 per cent in the red metal, if not
higher. Everyone who has seen the
strike predicts that it is the making of
a mine While the boys have not much
ground they have the ore, and this can
be turned into money as fast as they
can dig it out and ship it.
The Mason Pass section is one
which has been skinned over for a
number of years past without ever in
teresting any large capital for devel
opment of the promising prospects
found there There are several pros
pects there now. however, that are be
ginning to attract attention as they
have been making nice shi,ments to
the smelter for some months past
There will be more strikes like the
above to chronicle from the Pas sec
ton as time rolls on. and it is destined
to be one of the best portions of the
great Yerington district

Splendid Entertainment.

The Skovgaard concert at Rink Hall
last Monday night was largely attend
ed by lovers of music There were
over 400 people in the hall and the re
ceipts were close to $500 Many peo-
pie were present from Mason and all
parts of the valley.
Professor Skovgaard, while he may
not rank with Ole Bull is certainly
master of the violin. The rendition
of all his pieces was perfect and the
notes clear and distinct He was re
peatedly encored and his version of
Home. Sweet Home" and Annie
Laurie" was beautifully executed and
roundly applauded.
Miss McClung is pianist of rare
ability. Her playing was listened to
with wrapped attention and she was
encored time and aoain. As as ac-
comDanist to the Professor her time
was perfect.
The singing of Miss Nav Wright
was also greatly enjoyed. She has a
sweet. melodious voice of great range
and her selections were interesting
She, also, was repeatedly called back
and. good-naturedlv gave much more
than was on the program.
This is the first really high-cass
music that has been heard in Yering-
ton but it is hoped that it will not be-
the last

can a man say" Jack has always had
a warm spot IN his heart for. this dis

two narrow, come next. These will hold
bottles which may be easily taken out

elements are installed in the cooker.
The refrigerator cooker mentioned
ranges in price from $500 to s145.00,
electricity in the cooker making quite
an added figure to the price. Single
cookers are $4,000 without the refrigera-
tor.
The principle upon which these re-
frigerators work is very simple. for in
stead of allowing the water from the
ice to drain off into n pan, it is let into
the circulator. AS cold always circu-
lates downward warm air escapes
through the ventilators and only the
warmest water is let off into the over
flow near the top of the case. With
a perfect circulation there Is absolutely
no moisture, and where there is no mois-
ture there can be no transfer Of food
particles.
This means that the old enemies.

side by side in the new invention with
out fear of communicating one another
in the slightest degree.
