A. p. Nelson was down from Pitkin
Wednesday and told us he had closed
down everything except work in the
tunnel. Shortage of water makes it
impossible to take ore out of the
Camp Bird and he thinks it advisa-
BILE to push the tunnel to a contact
with the Camp Bird vein. He says
the clean up of the mill showed good
values in the ore being removed and
milled and expects great results when
the tunnel has been extended.
Dr. McDonough has received re-
turns on the stomach of the Dean
child which was sent to the United |
States Bureau of Health for analysis. |
They pronounce it case of botulinus
form of ptomaine pois-
oning. Unquestionably it came from
eating canned goods that had become
tainted. At this writing it seems
certain that the mother will survive.
She had very close call, however,
from the same poison that caused the
death of her three children.
A very sad passing away is that of
the infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Winters, which occurred Thursday
night. The little fellow was only
five weeks old and two weeks ago the
mother contracted measles and of
course the child also took the COM
plant. In his case, however, the
measles were followed by a kidney
disorder which snuffed out the life of |
the baby. The funeral will be held |
Friday from the residence and deep
est sympathy in their hour of grief
is with the parents who must lay
away their first born.
