Varieties Of Pearls.

Among the varieties OF so-called
pearls there are 81 times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less fiattened and lack the
jet black luster and perfect shape OF
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin
ma shell. and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls of
golden iuster are secured from n small
ayicula that has beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The ayicula shell
Is usually less than six centimeters In
diameter, and have never seen pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than n No. o shot. The big. perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

KILLED BY FALL
DOWNORECHUTE

James Domenico, aged 80 years,
was killed yesterday afternoon by
falling down a chute from the 600
level of the Tonopah Extension No.
2 shaft workings. Death was instan.
taneous as life was extinct when the
body was discovered at the bottom
Of a chute extending a depth of 65
feet.
The accident occurred at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon when the
electric lights went out and deceased
and a partner who were tramming
ceased work until carbide lamps
could be secured, Domenico's part
ner went to the station to bring
lamp and 1t is supposed that de-
ceased attempted to follow and fell
INTO the chute which he did not see
owing to the darkness Not a sound
was ktered and the death was dis
covered only after the partner re-
turned with the lamp Not finding
Domenico where he left him search
was instituted with the result that
the body was found on the lower
level.
The head and face were badly con
fused while the body showed little
evidence of the fall Death is sup
posed to have been caused by 4
fracture of the skull.
Deputy Mine Inspector Huber, who
Is in charge OF southern Nevada
happened to be in Carson City yes
terday when the death occurred ana
was notified OF the circumstances
by wire. whereupou he asked to have
the inquest deferred until tomorrow.
Domenico was familiar with the
workings Of the Extension where he
had been employed for five months
OF the seven months which he spent
IN Tonopah and some surprise was
expressed at the manner In which he
met his death So far as known there
are no relatives In this country De
ceased came from Italy The mine
inspector was notified and Coroner
