Interests in That State, A. Gillette, well known In this city, where he has been living for several months past, has Just return ed from a trip to the Black Rock desert region of Nevada, where he went to inspect some copper mines in that vicinity. Mr. Gillette is in terested in the mines and being an old mining man with many years experience in the Black Hills and other sections, ne concluded to go and take a look at the property him self. He returns full of enthusiasm over them and pronounces them the best he ever met with anywhere. He brought back some specimens from the mines which show them to bo exceedingly rich in copper with traces of gold and silver. The lat ter metals are not present however, In quanltles enough to make the mining of them profitable but the abundance of the copper Is easily seen. This property is being devel dater Copper company, the leading member of which is one of Mr. Gll- lett's old-time employes In the Black Hills, and is capitalized at $ 1 ,000. 000. The mines are Bltuated In the Jackson mountains, Nevada, twenty- five miles north of the Western Pad nc rauroaa ana includes 5Z0 acres of ground with an abundance of water for milling purposes. Owing to the peculiar formation of the ground, the copper ore is of easy ac ceBs and the cost of extension work ings is avoided. In addition It is easily transported and can be placed at the mill at small cost. These things all combine to make te prop erty exceedingly valuable. (Thp many friends of Mr. Gillette, who is now in easy circumstances, will be glad to hear of his good fortune in thus getting in on more good prop erty and extend their congratula tions. Their only regret is that he contemplates moving to that section and leaving this place where he has so many good friends. Lows Valuable Tenant.

T II Young Lady a Former Resident of This City Takes Carbolic Acid and Diet News wbs received In this city this morning of the suicide at South Omaha yesterday of Mary Hender- Bon, once a resident of this city. MIsb Henderson who was 20 years old, an employ at the Armour pack- ing house took carbolic acid. The suicide took place at the home of George Mlddlemyer where she was rooming. According to the story as reaches here, the Mlddlemyer family left home for uptown early n the evening, leaving the girl ap parently in the best of spirits and without any apparent intention of committing the fatal act in her mind,. Three hours later they returned to their home to find her cold In death with an empty carbolic acid bottle, by her side. The dead girl was a daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henderson, who lived in this city for a number of years, and has a brother San Henderson here now. According to the papers her mother now lives at Garry, Okla. No mention is made of the father. No reason is assign ed for ber rash act aside from a lover's quarrel which she had some time ago. Heme ( all. Our good friend M. S. Brlggs, who is working at Pacific Junction this week, had a narrow escape from, losing the train this morning as be Intended to take No. 6 for that place. The train was on time and M. S. had to hot-foot It down the street to get to It before It left. It was underway before he got to It but he managed to climb aboard. The exercise is not the best In the world for him as he is suffering from a fractured rib and the violent run ning Is not calculated to make It heal up any quicker. It is to be hoped no serious effects follow the run. Fred Ohm was a passenger this morning for Omaha, being accom panied by his brother John and H. H.
