Obituary..
p. c. ROBERTSON, Chairman.

1t becomes our melancholy duty to
record the death Of our esteemed
friend, d. I. Wilmans, the father of
Fred, Mack and Steven Wilmans. Mr..
Wilmans delighted in doing good, was
exemplary in all things, and wherever
known, had warm friends, and many
of them. He had lived upon the Pa
cific slope for years, and most of the
time in sight of tide water, but lately
he and his wife, in order to be near
their sons, came to Arizona, where
they found a home on Pinal mountain,
Pioneer silver camp, and where he
lived until death put forth his hand
and drew him out of sight. a.
Upon the arrival of the remains in
Globe, they were taken in charge by
the masonic fraternity, who conducted
the funeral ceremonies. The attend
ance at the church, and the numerous
persons in the line of procession at
tested the worth and estimation in
which the deceased was held in this
community.
The deceased was born in Philadel-
phia, Penn, November IS, 1920. He
was one of the very first to leave the
East for the Pacific and reached San
Francisco May 10th, 1919. He erected
the first frame building in Marysville,
and at once entered upon a mercantile
career. He was repeatedly elected to
Office, and subsequently filed respon-
sible positions under the federal gov
eminent in San Francisco.

Mining. Notes.

The Fame mine, belonging to the
brewery boys" and J. H. Eaton, from
present appearances, is not likely to
prove a misnomer. Its output of ore
is most encouraging. There is now
seventy tons on the dump which will
average $3.50 per ton, and-a satisfac-
tory showing Of ore in sight, in the
mine. Ten men are at work in it.
The Isabella group which was
considered played out and aban-
doned, has been relocated, and some
of the claims are now paying. Henry
Weber, Tidwell, Neffe and CARING
house are reported as successfully
working their respective lodes.
The Isabella claims, by bad man.
agement, gave rise to the impression
that there was nothing in them, and,
consequently, stockholders supposing
themselves "bit, refused to ''put up"
for further development. Practical
mining has established the fact that
those surprising them worth less were
in error, and that the newspaper maui
ing given them was also mistake.
We, however, will not undertake to
estimate their probable value, but
will patiently await f,sftlS develop
ment. Other property in Globe dis
trict, regarded Of but litsie value by
owners, are permitted to remain idle,
which, with proper development,
might reveal ore that would change
their opinions.
The Carrie and True Blue have
shown merit, and should not have
been practically abandoned.
The management of the Centennial
mine is not exactly what might have
been expected Of company which has
built a ten stamp mill, and having a
mine that has produced much silver,
prior to the purchase by the Centen-
NAL company.
In this connection it is proper to
refer to the Alice as resting under a
cloud, not probably from any fault
Of the mine itself but because the
owners themselves are in ignorance of
the situation and value of their prop
erty.
The most notable of all the willful
waste in this district, is that of the
iolden Eagle mine and mill property.
We have always believed the mine
good one, and know nothing to cause.
is to change that opinion. The mill
S new and III good order. The own
rs, however, may not agree with us,
out there are others who do, that, in
'ur opinion, are more capable of judg-
ng than they.

We call attention to the request of
the Public Administrator in another
column. There is evidently som ething
wrong in regard to the finances Of the
estate referred to. The deceased was
known to be monied man, and the
administrator is most anxious to know
what has become of it. So far, he has
only got possession ofperhaps moiety
of the funds and none of the effects.

Ford of the same town, County and Terri

mining claim in this mining district, for
merly known as the Cadmus, but now
known as Copper Hill, for q. description of
which reference is had to page 1872 of book
2, of the mining records of this county.
Now therefore | do state on oath that in
order to comply with the mining laws of
this district, proposed to my copartner {.
p. Ford, that we do the $25 worth of work
on said claim before the end of three
months from date of location, this being the

abandon all claim to said property, having
found to my satisfaction that at the time
we located on November 4, 1882, the ground
was not public land, and not subject to re-
location, said mine, at that time, being the
property Of the Haskin Mining Company,
and not subject to relocation until the 3lst
of December 1882 at mid night, and here
by publicly declare that have abandoned
all claim to the Cadmus ground, and that |
have so stated to my cOpartncr G. p. Ford.
