A. Sad Case.

A woman by the name of Davis, who has lived at Ashdown for some time died the first of the week at her home just west of town leaving some eigh, or nine helpless children. The young est YVES baby boy three months old, which we understand was taken by Mrs. J. T. Bowling. The family was in destitute circumstances and possi bly did not receive the attention and help that should have been given them. The people of Ashdown are liberal in cases of this kind, but fre quently at our doors lie suffering and misery and it is never called to our attention in the right way until it is too late. Let us resolve it this glad Christmas time that we will do better in the future You who can hear the piteous cry of the widow and the orphan in far off Belgium would cer- tainly come to the aid of the poor and the fatherless at your own doorstep. The country is prosperous. If the United Charities needs more money we will give it. This woman may not have died had aid come in time. We are all to blame if we lack system that will reach such cases. N

Mrs. James S. Steel, wife of Circuit Judge James s. Steel, died ait her home in this city Sunday morning at 12:30. She had been i'll for several months, and last week had taken a turn for the worse so that her death was not unexpected During her ili- ness she had suffered intensely, and while life was sweet to her, she had come at last to look forward to death as the great solace from pain.
 The funeral was conducted Sunday morning at II from the Methodist church, after which the body was car r;ed to Lockesburg by way of the Kansas City Southern to De Queen, thence to Lockesburg on a De Queen & Eastern special. The burial was held at the family burial ground in the latter city Monday. A number or special friends accompanied the body to it's last resting place.

Wales of the Baptist church and Rev. w. T. Sullivan of the Presbyter- ian church. A select choir sang softly during the service her favorite hymn Blessed Assurance, and also one which during her illness she had sung to her husband, Never Alone,' for his consol- ation when it seemed that her going would crush him. Rev Wares anu Rev Sullivan read appropriate scrip lures after which T prayer was offered by Rev. Cannon. Rev. Burnett spoke of the great Christian life of the de- ceased and her noble wonfanly char acter Rev. Cannon closet With az lplCoSiNS to1h. ALC oOi 'iSV "dS SAOo7 ed by the p-stor.

the property. The collar of this
shaft is nearly 100 feet higher than
that of the main vertical shaft of
the company, farther to the west.
and the lease shaft was sunk to a
depth of 400 feet, where lateral
work exposed some ore of high
grade.
Hosting equipment, pumps and a
complete mining plant have been in
stalled at the old lease shaft, which
is now being unwatered. Connec-
ton was made with the shaft from
the main drift on the 250-foot level
and the water is being raised to
this level, where it flows by grav-
ity to the main shaft and is pumped
to the surface. The water is being
lowered rapidly and apparently there
will be no strong flow after the
workings are unwatered. 1t is the
plan of the management to sink this
shaft to greater depth.

OLD MINES MAY BE
AGAIN PRODUCTIVE

Herman Reischke is in from Re-
the shipment of a carload of lead
silver ore from the Full Moon which
will run $40 per ton. The proper
ty is one of the oldest in Nye coun-
Iy having been operated intermit-
tenly for 80 years, but vas relocat-
cd by Reischke last January. The
greatest drawback to the mine is
long truck haul which calls for a
distance of so miles and entails a
cost of SIT per ton. With a trailer
seven tons are brought in at a time
and a round trip required at least
five days. There is talk of reviv-
irg the old Bernheimer mine by re-
newing the lease on the dumps
which are estimated to contain
10000 ton and from which ship
E.ents have been made running at
the rate of 45 per m in lead.
When the mine was in active opera
ton it was nothing unusual to Sc
cure as high as 6S per cent lead
and 50 ounce of silver when the
market for both metals was at a
point where the value was around
Sos a ton. An effort is being made
to reopen the old anthony mine
adjoining the Healy property own
ed by Ex.-Gov. Adams. This mine
IS about half a mile from Reveille
and could be run with small profit
ny the use of motor trucks.-Reno
