the weight of a personal bereavement
to hundreds of citizens who knew him.
Mr.. Simon died at I o'clock yesterday
morning, at his residence, 4S6 Third
street. He was at his office Tuesday
morning, in his usual good health.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he was
attacked by a very violent headache,
which at last became almost unbear-
able. Mr.. Simon went up to DR.. Union
Worthington's Office, where he was
given a stimulant. He laid down on a.
lounge and rested for half an hour, and
the pain became somewhat less in
tense.
On the suggestion IF Dr. Worthing-
ton, Mr. Simon went home. Almost
from the time he reached the house
his condition grew worse. Through the
weary hours of the night he tossed in
agony. Shortly after daybreak it was
seen that he was beyond earthly aid.
He began to sink rapidly. and at 4
o'clock, without apparent pain or strug-
gle, his life ebbed quietly out. Conges-
ton of the brain WIS given as the dag
nosis of Mr.. Simon's illness.
The news of Mr.. Simon'S demise will
cause profound sorrow among hosts of
Salt Lakers- Those who on Tuesday
saw him in what was apparently the
prime Of vigorous manhod will find it
hard to credit the story of his taking
off.
A Self-made Man.
Fred Simon's life is an object lesson
to young men who start out in life
handicapped by inadequate means and
with no capital save their God-given
endowments. This man had nothing
TO back him other than his own in
domitable energy, his push and his
archaeological business qualifications.
He was born ia the little village of
Thoren, Germany. in 1853. His parents
were in comfortable circumstances. and
hoped to give their boy the best educa-
ton the country afforded.
AT the age of IA, however reverses
came TO the elder Simons. Their capt.
tai was swept away through ill-advised
and unfortunate investments, and the
boy was compelled to leave school.
Seeing no opening in the fatherland
for a lad in his circumstances, young
Simon concluded to be the architect of
his own fortune in a new country.
where wider range of opportunity was
afforded to struggling youth. America
was the field he chose, and in 1867 he
landed in New York, practically penni-
less.
A stranger among strangers, the boy
did not lose heart. For months he
gained precarious existence by odd
jobs at whatever he could find to do.
Finally he secured a position at fairly
remunerative salary on a German
newspaper. Foreseeing that he would
want to strike for the golden west,
young Simon put by portion of his
earnings from time to time, until he
had acquired sufficient money to bring
him to Salt Lake. He arrived here in

General Gordon Is cheered.

When John B. Gordon, the command
er-in-chief, appeared before the con-
Vention, he received a tremendous ova-
ton. The old confederate chieftain was
presented by General Walker, and de-
livered an eloquent and patriotic adj
dress. When he closed, General Gordon
led Mrs. Stonewall Jackson to the front
of the stage, and she was enthusiastic
ally applauded.
The parade of the veterans occurred
this afternoon, and they marched
through a dense crowd of cheering peo
pie, led by Generals Gordon and Wade
Hampton, along the lire of the grizzled
old warriors. At intervals along the
line the fiuttering of a war-w6rn and
shot-torn flag called forth cheers, while
many heads were barred as the frayed
emblems of a dead cause cleaned over
some organization whose name is
household word in the south.
Hampton and Gordon were cheered
vociferously at every step, and rode
almost the entire route with barred
heads The absence of General Wheeler
in the line was a source of considerable
disappointment. He reached the city
early today, but did not participate in
the parade.

FOURTEEN CENT COPPER.

Copper continues to maintain itselt oa the eastern and foreign markets al the highest prices of the year. It Wrongly heli at l3 cents with IA cents expected. And the hopes of the ex- psctant ones would seem to be well founded. In an article from, the on. don Mining Journal, it is ststed:. "ln view of the improving prospects ot the topper market and of the copper industry there is an anxiety generally manifested to know the districts where copper is abundant, for it really seems as if the supply will, only with the greatest difficulty. keep pace with the future demaad."
 In responce to tho anxity herein ex- pressed it may be at once stated tha, there are no places in the known world where copper properties exist in such large quxn .ities as throughout thiu southwestsrn region, more especially m Arizona, and only to lesser extent in Southern California. Arizona already stands third among the great copper. producing sections of the world, and Is rapidly reaching the first place. To which may bs added that no where in this<werld are to be found copper prop. tsrties of equally high percentage, still a&sitlug development, as in Arizona.
