His Last Conscious Hour Spent With
Wife to Whom He Was
Devoted.
SAD SCENES IN LAST HOURS.
On Brink of Eeternity President IN
dertakes to Console His Be-
loved Helpmeet.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 14.-President
Mckinley died at 2:15 a. m. He had
been unconscious since 1850 p. m. His
last conscious hour on earth was spent
with his wife, to whom he devoted a
lifetime Of care. He died unattended
by a minister OF the gospel, but his last
words were a humble submission to the
will Of God in whom he believed. He
was reconciled to the cruel fate to
which the assassin's bullet condemned
him, and he faced death in the same
spirit OF calmness and poise which
marked his long and honorable career.
Last Conscious Words.
The last conscious words, reduced to
writing by Dr. Mann, who stood at the
bedside when they were uttered, were
as follows;
Goodbye all, goodbye 1t is Gods
way. His will be done"
Farewell Glance.
His relatives. the members OF his Of
fetal family at the Milburn house. ex-
cept Secretary Wilson, who did not
avail himself of the opportunity, and

friends took leave OF him. This pain
full ceremony was simple. His friends
came to the door of the sick room,
took longing glance at him and turn
ed tearfully away.

SEPTEMBER DIVIDENDS.
Utah Mines Have Already Ordered
Paid Nearly 100000.

James Farrell, manager Of the Quin-
cy bonanza at Park City, is down from
camp to spend day or two with his
family and attend to business requiring
his attentiJn. An effort was made to
get the gentleman to say what his COM
pany would pay out in the way of

other official of the corporation, he
Studiously avoided committing himself.
However. the information comes from
reliable sources that last months per-

the even one dozen shareholders will
then have pocketed 81 share accord

With that sum from the Quincy the
mines of the state have thus far this
month contributed in dividends the
neat sum Of 1921. 500, while the Mann

THREW ORE OVER THE DUMP.
Boston & Tintic Property Had Ore
Not Recognized.

From the Boston & Tintic mines at
Silver City comes a story that shows
how sometimes miners get fooled on the
character of the rock they are mining.
For several weeks past drifting has
been in progress on the 330-foot level
of that property and some nice ore has
been taken out. 1t made in no particu-
lar quantity. however, and while every
thing indicated that better ground
would be found at no great distance
ahead, it was not suspected till three
or four days ago that the vein filling
might carry values. 1t was then de-
cided by the foreman that the stuff
looked pretty good and he sent a sam
pie of it to Manager Tibbals for assay.
That gentleman was astonished when
he got returns showing s per cent lead,
39.2 ounces silver and 90 cents gold per
ton. Why" said he, I'VE have thro vn
any amount of that kind of stuff over
the dump, never figuring that II con-
tanned more than very nominal values.
The ledge carries much better values
than that in streaks and spots and 1
feel quite confident now that we shall
have some good news very soon.
