MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF THREE WOMEN
BATTLES OFFICIALS

LANCASTER. o.. Oct. flames A.
Tobin, the prosecuting attorney, an
nouncpd tonight that a rigid investlga-
tion OF the mysterious deaths OIL lEe
Misses Agnes and Alice Smctters and
Miss May Slratton who were found
dead seated in chairs in the parlors OF
the "OId Smetters Mansion" here last
night, would be made upon theory
that the women were victims OF
triple murder. Twenty four hours
after the tragedy. the pollce ana
coroner'S inquiry has failed to dis
close any substantial evidence OF how
the three women met their death.
without any supporting proof OF
the fact, | am inclined to believe that
death was due to asphyXiation, but
there is sufficient doubt TO warrant
the deepest investigation and that |
promise to make" Prosecutor Tobin
stated tonight
Preliminary search Of the mansion
for leaking gas or damps Of fatal
nature has failed TO show any per-
manent source of such danger. The
small gas stove around which The
women were seated has been sub
jected to minute search but no reason
able explanation Of it being the cause
of the deaths has resulted.
Official investigation is marking
time, pending a report OF the state
chemist upon the contents of the
stomachs Of the three women and a
piece of pie from which they are
believed 10 have eaten. The material
for analysis was taken to Columbus
today.
Officers from the prosecutors office
and the police have canvassed the
private relations Of the three women
and found no possible motive to sus-
tain the theory of murder. Suicide is
not considered

clusion of the agreement. Mr.. Rose

 COPPER COMPANY

Have now reached depth of 90 it. with their two compartment shaft, and are still going through heavy oxidized iron capping that appears to cover the main ore deposit. this work has been carried on by hand, but hoist and other mining machinery have now teen ordered and will be installed as svon as it is delivered.
 This company has also acquired an additional group of mining claims that joins the Ajo Consolidated mines in Ajo, this new group of claims are To- cated less than one mile from the post office in Ajo and have an exceedingly good surface showing, the Ajo Consol dated ground, that we join. are now being diamond drilled and they have developed possibly the largest and richest ore deposit in all Arizona, ft is reported that s12,000,000 have been refused by this company for this pro perty. They are now drilling in very high grade ore long side of Bisbee-Ajo ground, and we find that wey are now located in the heart of the largest and richest copper district in all the world. 3isbee-Aio has very promising fu- ture. Now is your chance to secure this stock at twenty-five cents. Never before has such an opportunity knocked at your door. We are located less than a mile from the world fam ous New Cornelia mine, now selling It sl900 per share. We have also chance to dispose of a large block of this stock at soc in the cast. and for the above reasons this stock will ad- vance to soc in a short time. and we have only very limited amount left at 25c.

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active less and less food is required to meet the demands of our bodies. If too much is habitually taken, the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the ad- vanced age of S5 or 90, you will find that he is a light eater. Be as careful as you will, however, you will occa- sionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do not contain pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and enables it to perform its functions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels (Advertisement)

TWO PEAKS PROPERTY TAKES ON INTEREST
 WITH DEVELOPMENT

TURNER, Ariz., Nov. 11.-Devel- opment work on the Two Peaks pro perty is proceeding with most gratify- ing results to the management. In the double con 'rtment shaft started last month, ore being encountered at a depth of 9 feet, which would seem to indicate that the ore body at this point will be encountered at a much shallower depth than was anticipated. The shaft is being sunk Sn one of the claims of the Larrieu- Chadwick group, which the company recently acquired. It is the intention of the management to sink this shaft to a depth of 500 feet and crosscut the ore body, which is a continuation of the deposit on the Buck claim, where the ore has been cut for a distance of over 200 feet. The present shaft site is 800 feet low CT than the Buck workings, and when sunk the required depth will be 500 feet. The shaft will be sunk as far as possible by wintlass. after which the completion of the wagon road to the mouth of the shaft will facilitate the introduction of machinery.
 For reasons, not divulged by the directors, Two Peaks stock was taken off the market last May, after 10000 shares had been sold, and none have been offered to the public since. How ever. w. G. Gilmore, general counsel for the company, whose office is at Tombstone, secured a permit from the Corporation Commission at Phoenix, last Monday, and the company an nounces that there will be placed 100,- GOO shares on the market at 25c. The proceeds from this stock will be used for the installation of hoist. and oth- CT material necessary for the develop ment contemplated, and now under way. The company has maintained a full force at work ever since the or ganization of Two Peaks, last Decem- Der, and have done considerable de- velopment. During this time they have acquired adjoining property, which at present gives them 40 claims and a mill site, aggregating approXi- mately 500 acres of mining land. The property is under the able manage ment of the well known mining en- gineer, " G. Mellgren, of Tombstone, Arizona.
