manners as a member of the munic-
ipal assem- bly, have won the admira-
ton of all who have had occasion to
be present at the city hall during ses-
sions of the council.
Mr.. Lawhead was born in Hamil-
ton county, Ohio, in 1887, his par
ents with the family, consisting of five
children-three boys and twin girls
moving to this city in 1S47. Here his
father and two sisters, the youngest
of the children, died in 1913. j. w.
then being but IL years of age, and
the eldest of the family, was his
mothers only support. He was first
mployed by Capt. Henry Powers,
later on Langley & Powers, steam boat
agents and commission merchants.
He was in their employ for some
time.
Learns MachinIst Trade.
About 1852 Mr.. Lawhead was en-
gagged as an apprentice at the ma
chinist trade by Buford & Furgis, who
carried on an extensive machine shop
and foundry on First avenue. be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets, in the building now occupied
by the Rock Island Carriage COM
pany. He was with this firm for a
mum Der of years, and afterward with
n. b. Buford and later on with L. j.
and j. NJ. Buford. He was with these
firms continuously until about 1861,
when he went to Portland, Ore,
where he worked at his trade for some
time, afterward returning home.
In 1866 Mr.. Lawheau was united in
marriage to Miss Sarah +. Waugh,
and shortly after entered the employ
of Mr.. Donahue, of Davenport. He
was with Mr.. Donahue during the
construction of the waterworks
and afterward with Weyerhauser &
Denkmann, in charge of their mill
machine shops.
Aid. Lawhead is now employed at
Rock Island arsenal, in charge of the
steam and water plant.
Mr.. Lawhead is serving his second
term as alderman. He was one of the
first representatives in the city coun-
Gil from the old Fifth ward. His term
as alderman from the Seventh ward
expires next spring, and he will
doubtless be returned to the council
by the voters of his ward, for he has
given them one of the cleanest and
most honorable administrations they
have ever received from an alderman.

THOSE CONTROLLING LOCAL MARKET

Morris S Lewis, Firm That Started Mod
estIy Twelve Years Ago, Now Covers u
Large Stretch OF Territory and is Get
ting Rich Fast-BiE Shipments Made to
the Mills.
When you hear a husky voice cry
ing at your back door ANY old iron
today?" you little think that the
shouter is wing of an enterprise that
is assuming wonderful proportions
here in Rock Island and is rapidly
amassing fortunes for the men who
are in control of it.
The majority of these "chuckers"
| when their wagons are filled wend
| their way toward a big yard
at the foot of Twenty-fourth street,
where the iron is dumped and pre-
pared for shipment to different parts
of the country to the mills owned by
the steel trust and where it is worked
over into various articles of use for
the home-the old goods are returned
to you after they have been done over,
as it were.
A member of the firm of Morris &
Lewis, who are practically in control
of the scrap iron business in this Sec
| ton, modestly admitted the other day
they were making money, and consid-
ering him shrewd business man, as
he certainly is, there is volumes in what
he says, for as a rule, people follow
ing lines in which competition is so
easily attracted, don't take roseate
view of financial gains when discus
sing their affairs publicly.

development Continues to Show Up Great
Values and Many New Claims
Being Located.

The activity apparent in the Heath
district promises to make the old
Ruthburg country as famous as the
Seven Devils and the showing being
made is something wonderful, If re-
ports are to be relied upon. Heavy
mining operators are becoming inter
ested and are undoubtedly deter
mined to prove what values are in
the district as expediously as pos
sible.
The P. & l. N. people have bonded
the Mt. Queen, owned by Conway
and have put on three shifts of men
under the superintendency OF Bill
Ireton, and a double compartment
shaft will be sunk 200 feet at the
least, and probably deeper. The
men went on shift on the 18th and
will continue all winter. They have
already struck fine quality Of ore
short distance below the surface.
Mr. H. D. Andrews, representing
McCune, the well known Salt Lak'
mining man, has bonded some val
liable property and has put on

the Most Promising Mines in

fiuhh u fiShSh, uPSiWtChuShe
of the Blue Jacket, who has been IN
Weiser for the past ten days, is very
enthusiastic over that coming pro-
ducer. Twelve cars of ore have been
shipped this season from the mine,
and while the returns of but two
have been received they have been
most fattering, the ore yielding over
40 per cent pure copper.
The work now done on the mine
amounts to 1900 feet of tunnel and
shaft, the main tunnel being in about
$50 feet and attaining depth of $50
feet below the surface. At this
depth finer ore than ever is being
shown up, and fine chunk weighing
ITO pounds taken from this tunnel is
on exhibition at the Vendome MIR.
French will push work all winter and
will probably put the shaft on the
Queen, now 100 feet, down to o
much greater depth.
Mr.. French states that on the
South Peacock, which is beiag de-
veloped by Charles M Whitcomb OF
Boston, fine 18-inch vein of 60 per
cent ore (ore running so per cent cop
per) has been encountered at q depth
of lao feet. A hosting plant for
this mine will be in Weiser soon to
be taken in this fall. The boiler for
this plant is reported to weigh 13, OOO
pounds, which will present a trans
portation problem of good sized pro-
portions, and is indicative of the nee6
of the best roads possible.

ing ways and means to protect their
