IN territorial days DIR. A. II. Mitch
ell. whose death is announced his
morning. a a very large part in
shaping the destinies of Montana lie
saw years of active service in the ter
ritorial legislature: he was a leading
was a progressive citizen-with the ad-
vance of Montana, after statehood, to
it's present prosperous conditions he
steadily kept pace. and. yesterday. a
list OF the names OF the six b~est-known
citizens OF Montana, had IL been writ
ten. would have been made up in err
ror had IT omitted the name of A. H..
Mitchell. He was genuinely a pioneer
OF Montana-his residence I'm the state
dates from the autumn of 1866.
More than that. DR.. Mitchell was a
thorough westerner. He knew almost
every inch OF the broad Pacific slope.
He was thirty-four years old when he
settled in Montana: prior thereto he
had been n rover-a practicing physi-
clan. a prospector. n dealer in live
stock. an enthusiastic comrade in the
pursuit of new mining fields in Mexico.
in Idaho. in California. in oregon. In
Utah. in British Columbia. The rowing
instinct had apparently been satisfied
about the time DIR. Mitchell arrived ! IN
Montana, but his ~fondness for new
ventures in mining remained with him
to the end.
Precisely one half OF the years that
make up the total in DIR. Mitchells life
were spent in Montana and. during all
those years. Deer Lodge county was
his home. AT first a resident at Black
foot, he removed a few years later TO
Deer Lodge and with the history of that
city his name is conspicuously identi-
fed. But every part of Montana knew
DIR. Mitchell-he seemed as much at
home and among townsmen when he
was I'm Butte or Helena or Anaconda
or Dillon as when on the thoroughfares
OF the little city in Deer Lodge valley;
he was a citizen who belonged TO the
state.
Thus. throughout Montana the death
OF DIR. Mitchell Will be %deplored as a
personal afiiction and as a loss I'm
which the commonwealth shares. And
this recognition he a earned-he was
a man OF public spirit, his loyalty to
Montana was not short of a sentiment
OF affection. his faith in the states
He served his fellow citizens in many
official relations. always with integrity
and always with credit TO himself. HE
sturdy Americanism never failed to as
sert itself on fitting occasions. He held
a place OF prominence in Montana's
commercial circles; he was successful
in worldly affairs; he was a man Of at
tested probity i'm all business transac-
lions.
DIR. Mitcherrs fatal lines was long
and ~grievously painful. He made a
brave fight for life. and his intimate
friends were encouraged to believe, n
few weeks ago. that a rally and at least
a partial recovery were possible. But
the hopes thus awakened were vain.
Yesterday he passed away, and in the
annals of the state with whose upbuild-
ing he had much to do his is the most
notable death since the names Of
Charles A. Broadwater and Charles +.
Musslgbrod were added to the length
ening roll OF departed Montana pion-
GERS.
