Fairhaven and New Whatcom Railway
company. He was about his business
as usual until last Friday evening,
when he went to bed suffering from
rheumatic fever. His illness was not
regarded as dangerous, and the fatal
event was not anticipated until about
haitian hour before his death, which oc-
Cured at $3.50 o'clock.
Col. Thum was about As years of
age, and was a native of New
| York state. Early in life he moved
West. For several years he
was post trader at Fort Peck,
and from there he moved to DeadwoOd
i'm the height of the gold excitement in
| 1876, and engaged in the banking bust
ness as a member of the firm of Brown
d Thum. This firm was afterward
merged into the First National Bank of
Deadwood with Mr. Thum as cashier.
While in Deadwood he married Miss
| Kate Davis, who with their only child,
Marion, survives him. He left Dead
wood in 1881 and moved to Salt Lake
City. While residing there he was
manager of the Erie Horn silver mine
in Idaho. He afterward moved to
| Haley, Idaho, where he was engaged
| i'm mining two wears. From there he
moved to Fairhaven in May, 1890. He
was the pioneer and principal promoter
of the splendid street railway system
that is now the pride of the Bay cities.
He first acquired the franchise granted
to H. Y. Thompson ct al, and under.
took to construct the road, but before il
could be got underway the franchise
llapsed. Early in life he was an in
innate friend of Thos. G. Platt, Of
New York, whom he interested
in his street railway scheme and as re
suit the Platt-Hiscock franchise IL
which the deceased was associated, was
granted. He worked tirelessly to Sc
cure the cooperation of capitalists IL
the construction of the road, and aftel
many trials and discouragements III
had the qualification of seeing the lin
in operation. a.,
Col. Thum leaves many warm friend
in this city. He was man of dis
tinguished appearance and possessed
warm, genial nature.
The cars of the street railway lin
! were all draped in mourning yesterda
l in respect to his memory. Jas. A. Coo
e has tenn porarily taken his place as gen
= eral manager of the company. Fl
e neral arrangements have not yet bee
a made.

A Distinctly Novel Beverage.

A number of trials have been made OF
a beverage particularly novel, which
might be termed "antade." A few hun
bred ants were crushed at time in a
mortar with a pestle, and the liquid
from them after being strained was
mixed just like lemon juice, with water
and sugar. The resulting beverage re-
se1nbles lemonade so closely as to be
scarcely distinguishable from it.
The reason why is very easy to ex-
plain. Formic acid is the nearest ap-
proach to citric acid, which gives lemon
Juice its flavor, known to the chemist,
In fact there is very little difference be-
tween them.-Table.

BAKING POWDER
A Perfect Baking Powder.

The constantly growing demand for Dr. Prices
Cream Baking Powder standard tartar powder
for forty years. is due to two causes.
FIRST,-The extreme exercised by the manu-
facurers to make it perfectly pure uniform in quality and
of highest raising power.
SECOND:-The recent investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still that found to contain alum
These unscrupulous manufacturers being found out
and the consumers giving them wide birth
Nothing is left chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Prices Cream Baking Powder Chemists employed to
test every ingredient purity and strength Hence;
its marvellous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other 1t never dissapoints BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
DR. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant In fact the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

New Mineral Fields.

Reports from Chama say that the
mountains in that vicinity and along
Pine and Rock rivers are beginning to
be free of snow and hundreds Of pros
pectors, the overflow from the Creede
district, are securing this wild region in
search of mineral. Frequent finds OF
float indicating rich mineral deposits
have been made and it need not surprise
anybody if reports of rich strikes come
soon from that locality. Indeed, such
reports are already in circulation. Near
Pagosa springs promising ore body is
now being opened, and on upper Rock
river a new camp las been established
which is attracting much attention. The
wonderful mines at Creole, now produc-
ing and shipping over fifty car loads Of
ore per week, will undoubtedly cause
that region north Of Chama and Sublette
to be thoroughly explored this summer.
