RICHARD DAY ATKINS
A Pioneer Miner Passed Away az
Nelson, 3. O., Sunday
Afternoon.
He Had Mined on Every Conti-
nent-T'he Kootenai Country's
Best Friend.

News was received In this city
Tuesday of the death of Richard
Day Atkins, the well-known mining
capitalist. Mt Nelson, B. c., at
2 o'clock last Sunday afternoon.
Tho heart of many miner and
prospector in camps all over the
Pacific coast will throb fnster when
they read this sad announcement.
Mr.. Atkins was taken sick with
pneumonia at the Hall Brothers
group, of which he was part owner,
about ten days ago, and last We'd
nesday he was removed to Nelson.
The remains were conveyed by boat
to Bonner's ferry, thence by wagon
to Kootenai station, aud will pass
through here to-day ell route to Vic
toria, b. G.
Richard Day Atkins was probably
90 years of age, lie was native of
Ireland, and claimed the little green
isle as his home up to the time of
his death. He had no family of his
own, but leaves several relatives in
the old country. Mr.. Atkins was
known In nearly all the principal
mining camps on the Pacific coust.
He mined successfully In Montana
more than n quarter of u century
ago.
He afterward tried his fortune in
Mexico aud South America, and
finally went to Kimberly, South
Africa, where he made fortune in
the diamond mines. He then re-
turned To this country, and was
offered Sl5,OO0 year to take charge
of II mine in Mexico, but declined
the offer, preferring to operate on
his own account, having abundant
capital.
He had great faith in the mineral
resources of the Kootenai region,
and became largely interested there.
About four months ago, in this city,
he closed deal by which he be.
came half owner of the famous Hall
Brothers group, which includes the
Silver King and other well-known
properties. All miners inter
estcd In Kootenai property
rejoiccd when Mr.. Atkins
cast his lot among them, for they
knew he would not only eXpcnd his
own capital in developing the coun-
try, but would induce English capi-
talists, who had abundant faith in
his Judgment, to do likewise. He
was u whole-soulcd, generous man,
one of Ireland's noblcst sons, and
his death will bring sadness to the
hearts of all who knew him.
Half u dozen kootenai miners We're
talking of his illness In the Hotel
Spokane last night, when a gentle
man who had just arrived from
Sproats Landing came in and an
nounced his death.
The news cast cloud over the
little group, and Robert Buchanan
echoed the sentiments of all pres
ent when he said, with tremor in
his voice, "The Kootcnai country
has lost the staunchest friend it
ever had"
