On or about De cember 18th. last. claimed Cresto. his spouse cursed him and struck him with her fists in the presence of a number of people. causing him much modification. Cresto testified in his own behalf and, as the defendant did not appear to contradict the testi- mony. the court granted Crestc's plea that the bonds of matrimony between he and his wife be dissolved.

While living at Morenci. claimed Salas. his wife of ten threatened him with bodily harm, and on one occasion struck him over the head with a platter of meat and gravy.

LOMA PRIETA MAKES
 A BIG SHOWING
(From Sundays daily.)

Arrivals last night from the Lorna Prieta camp in Copper Basin brought news that the bottom of the shaft was carrying a higher grade Of chalco- pyrite ore than had formerly been developed. and of character that showed a peacock copper condition as determined. with a bornite as also coming in. In sinking. the shaft for over 30 feet was in massive ore body, and the depth reached up to last night at 6 o'clock was considered as the best showing by far the prop erty has made.
 It is now believed that a sulphide condition is being approached and the mineralogical change taking place conclusively leads to this belief. Samples taken from the bottom of the shaft last night firmly support the splendid showing in evidence.
