came to this city in 1860, and has re.
manned on or about the Comstock
ever since. He has ut times been
worth quite sum of money, and
owned a mill opposite the old brew
cry, in the lower end of this city.
He was also, at one time, Supsrin-
tsndent of the Pioneer mill, and has
had charge of various mines. He is
not known to have owned any prop
erty at the time Of his death, be-
sides dwelling house in this city
and third interest in the Edison
mine, in Delaware District, which
was named after him. He was a
member of three associations, to-wit:
The Miners Union, the Masonic, and
the Odd Fellows; and was not
married.
Solomon was not 80 generally
known as Sewell, but is very highly
spoken of by all who knew him. He
was not member of any local So
ciety, hut was about to he admitted
to the Silver City Miners Union.
He was a native of New Jersey, and
rs years old.
THE FUNERAL.
As they had been intimate friends,
a double funeral was agreed upon.
In pursuance Of this agreement Sew
ellis remains we're brought to the
hall of Amity Lodge, while those
of Solomon were taken to the hall
of the Miners Union.
About half.past 2 O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon Amity Lodge met
and, after the preliminary services,
escorted Sewell's remains to the
Miners Union Hall, where they were
received Dy the Miners Union, anu
religious services were held. AT their
conclusion the procession was again
formed, the Masons taking the lead
with Sewell's body, the Miners
Union coming next, with Soloman's
remains, and citizens closing up the
line of march. In this order the
graveyard was reached, when the
procession broke ranks.
The funeral was attended by many
citizens of Virginia, Gold Hill and
Dayton, and was beyond doubt the
largest funeral which has eyer taken
place in this city.

A Wealthy Firm to be Dissolved

A Wealthy Firm to be Dissolved.
The firm of j. NJ. Walker s. Co.,
of San Francisco, will be dissolved
shortly, Ms the co-partnership exist
ing between the members expired
by limitation on the list instant, and
has not been renewed. Mr.. Walker
is believed to hold the controlling
interest in the South End mining
company, of this district, and the
hope is entertained here that he will
now be able TO devote some of his
time to the development of the prop
erty of the company. When opera.
tons were suspended at the mine,
some two years ago, there was a
body of ore in light which, it was
expected, would not only pay all
expenses, but yield nice margin
besides, and there is no doubt but
that, if properly worked, the claim
can be made to pay handsomely.

Going to the BOttoln,

The recent sinking of several men-of
war together, in South American waters,
recalls the battles of the classic age, when
the recognized mode of fighting was to
.'ram" the enemy's vessel with heavy
PROV of iro1 or brass, and the sinking of
as least halt the beaten feet quite mat
ter of course. Modern warfare, however,
contains not few striking instances of
the same kind. At the battle of Sluys,
under Edward I'LL, an English crew, feel
ing their ship settling down, boarded and
carried the nearest Frenchman just in
time, their own vessel sinking the mo-
ment they had quilted her. Sir Richard
Grenville, in 1856, performed similar
feat, floating himself in raft alongside
the heavy Spanish galleon whose guns
had shattered his light cruiser, and cap
turing her while his own ship sank un
needed. A few years later the same he.
70 kept at bay fifty-three Spanish sail fol
a whole night with his single ship the
Revenge, sinking four of them and al
length bidding she gunner blow up his
vessel with all hands. She sank, how
ever, before the order could be obeyed
In one of the great sea fights Of the las
century, a French and an English shiI
went down side by side before the crap
pling irons could be cast off, and very
few OF either crew were saved.

Experiments in Gunnery

The programme of the important ex-
periments which are to be carried out

next, in the presence of specially invited
representatives of every European gov
new 4O-centimetre gun, weighing 10 tons
and which is the heaviest and most pow
erful piece of ordnance as yet ever con-
structed on breach-lOading system, Is
to be fired for the first time in public.
Ten rounds are to be fired from it at a
target $500 metres distant, in order to
test the accuracy of the piece and de-
termine the initial velocity of its projec-
tile and pressure on various parts of the
bore. After this some armor piercing
experiments will be carried out with
steel plojectiles weighing 1850 pounds,
llfed from the 35aa-centimetre gun against
plates of wrought iron. On the second
day the firing which will probably be
watched with most interest will take
place, the object being to test the rapid
ity with which Krupp's newly-dssigned
armored gun can be laid for objects at
different distances, and also to ascertain
the accuracy of its fire under such cir
cumstances. The gun to be experiment

should the trial prove successful it may
be expected that the prime .D'e embodied
in this ar1nored gun will ue largely ap-
piled in the immediate future. Some

Cor q! miles) distant will also be carried
on with 10a-centimetre siege gun, a
new revolving cannon will be tried at
various ranges, a number of rounds will
be fired from rifled mortar to test the
value of vertical fire, and, finally, some
experiments will be made with newly
designed steel shrapnel.
