Mourn Death of Mime NOrdiCa
Throughout State==Tributes to
Great Prima Donna by Friends

Arbo c. Norton, a Pennington dry
goods merchant, cousin of Nordica
once removed, received his first au-
thentic information of the death of
Mrs. Young through communication
by telephone Mr.. Norton was favor
lite cousin of the great singer. She was
always his guest when at Pennington
and it was through his efforts, aided
by his sister, that the great prima
donna consented not very many
months ago TO give a free concert TO
hall 1t was an occasion that will
never be forgotten in the little village
on the banks of the Sandy river.
Il happened to be going past the
old Norton homestead yesterday in
my automobile" said this favorite
cousin, land as I looked at the old
place, I said to myself, 1 do hope
that Nordica will recover and be able
to come to the old home which she
loved so much and recuperate and en-
JOY her summer But 1t seems it was
not so to he. Madame Nordica was a
very lovable woman. She was blessed
with an exceedingly happy disposition
and always was kind and thoughtful
of others. Particularly viii she be re-
memhered by many struggling stu
dents in her own profession to whom
she was always glad to extend, not
only kind and helpful words, but sub
stantial assistance in their efforts to
secure musical education. The last
word I heard concerning Nordica's
health was on Saturday, when a tel
egram came saying she was better The
news of her death is so sudden that
II is impossible TO tell what form a
memorial for her may take in Farm
ingfon.s'
When told that news dispatches in
dictated the probability that the body
Of the famous singer would be brought
TO this country and taken to Farm
inRton and buried on the farm where
she was born, Mr.. Norton said: Il
doubt il anyone knows anything about
that. Nordica was young woman and
had not made any plans about dying.
II she expressed any wish on her
death bed, that will doubtless be fol-
lowed out. / should suppose that If
her remains are brought to Farming
ton. she would be buried on the Nor
ron lot in the beautiful Riverside GEM

great loss that has come to the must
cal world may we not from another
poist of view realize how much her
life has meant? She has ever stood
for the best in music. In opera her
Marguerite in Faust was one of the
most enjoyable of her presentations
and as Margaret of valois in The HUI
guenots she was specially impressive
and beautiful. In oratorio she has al
so taken highest rank. She has not
lived in vain when she can leave such
a wonderful record. She must always
be dear TO the music lovers of Maine.

The death of Madame Lillian Nor
dica is distinct loss for she had be-
come so eminent in Wagnerian roles
that her Isolde and Elsa and other
Wagnerian parts can hardly be equal
ed by any living singer. She had a
pure soprano of exceptional range and
great power, but her graciousness was
never more apparent than in her last
appearance in this city. 1t hardly
seemed possible that we should lose
her charming presence from our con-
cert stage and l regret her loss ex-
ceedingly which is a serious one for
people interested in music in the State

RICH STRIKE ON
H|NES-bALDW|N

Word was received in town Sun
day that another bunch of hig high
grade had been struck on the Hines
Baldwin lease, in the Workman tun-
mel on the White Rock No. 1 claim
on Charleston Hill. c. B. Welshons
and w. E. Staunton left yesterday
morning for National by auto. but
are not expected to return before to-
morrow, when it is probable full par
ticulars may be obtained.
BY telephone, this morning, from a
reliable source the Silver State learn
ed that So pounds of high-grade were
taken out Sunday which in appear,
ance equals any ever taken from the
National mine, which means that 1t
will run around $50 a pound. The
vein is three feet wide and the high
grade is found in boulders.
The Hines-Baldwin lease covers the
east half of the White Rock No. ]
claim, the west half being under lease
to DR.. l.. G. Wheeler. Both leasers
are operating through the Workman
tunnel, which runs for 5000 feet
going across a corner of the Birth
days and tapping the property of the
Charleston Hill Gold Mining claim.
On this latter property two leases
have been given, the one to the
Charleston National Mining company
having Teen in operation for more
than a year. OF this company j. P.
Clough is president and E. S. Dear
dorff general manager. A large
amount of development work has
been done and the objective point,
where high-grade is expected to be
found, will be reached in a very
short time.
Adjoining the south is the lease OF
the National High Grade Leasing
company, which owns a four-year
lease on a block of ground 600x13OO
feet in dimensions. The controlling
interest in this company is owned
by A. w. Stowe, the local mining
broker, who is at present engaged in
financing the proposition. With this
new strike, made within a stones
throw, money should be forthcoming
to develop this promising property.
DR.. L.. G. Wheeler will leave to-
morrow evening for Milwaukee, Wis,
to confer with the principal stock
holders in his company, who reside
in the Cream City, and lay out a plan
for the coming seasons work.
The vein of the National mine runs
through all the properties mentioned,
and the strike on the Hines-Baldwin
lease has given new inspiration to all
interested parties.-Silver state.

THE COLDFIELO NEW N lKl6ONE
TWO-STAMP MILL
WILL Be ERECTED
OWNERS OF DEATH VALLEY
NINE ARRANGE FOR SMALL
PLANT

Joseph B. Evans and local asso-
ciates have arranged for the erection
of a Tetrault two-stamp mill on their
property, known as the Chuckawalla
mine, toward the southern end of
the Funeral range of mountains in
Death Valley. The mill will be pur-
chased from the Tonopah manufac-
turers in the text few days and ship
ped to the mine by way of Shoshone
on the line of the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad. MI. Evans expects
to have the plant running within the
next thirty days, handling ten tons
daily.
The Chuckawalla property has
been developed by a tunnel on the
vein to a vertical depth of 400 feet.
Although small, averaging about one
foot in width, the vein yields assays
of from $50 to $50 a ton, with add
tional small values in silver and lead.
The property is made up of four
claims, upon which there is ample
water for milling purposes.
