and missionary among his own people
under the auspices of the Congrega-
tlonalists. He and other old servants OF
the family showed their appreciation of
Mr.. LIS kindness and endeavor to assist,
by attending his funeral twenty years
afterward with every mark of the SYM
pathy they felt for his family, and respect
for the memory of their boy friend. His
career at the University was promising
and honorable. Here too he endeared
himself to his classmates, several OF
whom assisted as pail bearers in convey
ing bis body to the grave, and all of whom
testified their appreciation of his worth
and the estimation in which he was held
in a series of resolutions expressive of
their sympathy with the family After
his graduation he entered upon his
career as metallurgist, rapidly advancing
in his profession.
He was a thorough chrrchman, zeal
GUS to promote the interest of his loved
church, and from youth to his decease
taking an active interest in her prosper
ity Whilst residing at Butte he was a
vestryman of St. Johns church, and at
the time OF his removal from the sphere
Of his usefulness here, he was a member
of the church committee of St. Andrews
mission, Philipsburg, and treasurer of
the building fund, and participated ac-
lively in the erection OF the church
building there. The first service was
held in it the night before his death, and
the next was funeral over his own re-
mains.
One of.his distinguishing traits as a
boy was his loyalty and devotion to his
mother and sisters. At home he devel-
opeu the most beautiful and interesting
traits. No son, no brother, could have
shown moro thoroughly capacity to
make home delightful. No son, no
brother, was more fondly appreciated
Those who felt his influence in the home
circle feel his loss most keenly. He was
not only son and brother, he was friend
and helper. His genial, warm-hearted.
loving nature entered into all his life re-
lations; and when he married Miss Mary
r. White, OF this city, he found a COM
pani,n whose religious character and
literary tastes were congenial, and the
foundation Of a home in its truest sense
Was laid. II is needless to say it was
happy home. The spirit of Christ was
in it. All that human affection and
human effort can avail was there. They
were blessed with two children, who,
With their mother, returned to this city.

Of our dear friend whom we have loved
as boy, as youth, as man, we extend our
warmest sympathies, with the prayer
that the ''Comforter' may be with them
to heal their wounded hearts.
He was buried from St. Johns church.
San Francisco, where as boy he had
spent many happy days, and it was the
writer's sad duty to conduct the funeral
in connection with DIR. Spald

We learn from parties from Nelbart |
that the capitalists who visited the camp
we're disgusted with the treat
ment received at the hands OF the miners,
and went away declaring that there
would be no railroad built to that camp
this season. This may be true, but it is
an uncontrovertable fact that if there is
no roilroad built from the Falls to the
camp this season the great smelling plant
at the Falls Will lie idle The Belt noun
tains, is the only resource OF this plant for
Ore. We're it otherwise that plant would
not be running but one or two fires this
winter. The Neihart miners hold the top
land and they know it, and are not going
% compromise their property to get d
'ailroad when they are satisfied they will
Dc able to get one just rs soon Without
