DROWNED At PARAMOUNT.


A. o. Brooks. n telegraph opcre-
tor, was drowned yesterday after
noon while bathing In the lake at
Paramount park. The drowning
occurred within plain view Of sew
cral persons and timely effort
could have saved the operators
life. He was attempting to dive
To the bottom of the lake and
while under the surface of the
water II Is supposed that he was
seized with cramps. Brooks was
n young man - yrs. old and his
mother aud brother reside in Mis-
souri, city, Mo. They have been
notified aud will arrive here in the
morning. The body was viewed
by Coroner Chctt McDorald, and
was removed to Stinc's.--Knnsas

The above sad news tells OF the
unfortunate death of Oscar Brooks
one of our best and most highly
respected boys.
In company with his fricnd TT.
Collins Oscar had been In the ha-
bit of bathing at Fairmount Lake
ON warm afternoons They reach
ed the lake on this illstarred Mon-
day presumably at about two
o'clock and were In bathing and
having jolly time as boys will.
when about three o'clock lac dis
appeared from view hut his friend
did not get alarmed until T. was
too late Search wns nj once made
and resulted In finding his remains
at half past four, they having re-
msincd under water one hUur nnd
u hnli.
Although he was drowned Mon-
day afternoon word did not reach
the family until late Tuesday cv-
cning aud then only that soon be-
cause of the account above printed
having been read by Mrs. Sours Of
Mobcrly and AN investigation made
from there. From the position he
was In when found II was evident
that his death was caused by mn
attack of cramps
The remains arrived here We'd
ncsday afternoon nnd were taken
10 the home oi his parents whore
they rcmsincd until Friday morn
ing. Services were conducted nj
the Catholic church nj nine o'clock
this morning, the intermcnt at the
Catholic cemetery.
I Oscar was ayoung man of good
moral character, sterling integrity
snd noble heart. Reared NJ he
was Ia our midst we h d every
reason to bc proud OF him, not
only ON account OF the splendid
position ho had nttpined hut be-
cause he WIS noble young man,
kind, loving nnd cOnsidcratc to
frthcr' mother, sisters aud brothers
and good TO nil; he gave up his
lie for one devoid Of suffering sud
sorrow.
To the sorrowiug family aud
frields We would only say. God,
who dosth all things we'll, can
only n-suagc grief. The broken
rosebud has not withered but ouly
blossomcd aud bloomcd into II full

Her family, her physician and
friends united in heroic attempt
to save the young life, but neither
science nor broken hearts, nor

her patience had its perfect work.
Her ideals were pure aud noble.
her heart filed with the purest and

about 200 feet Of it is already graded.
The site of the smelter itself is upon
a sort Of table land rising &c feet
abruptly from the level and covers n
large area of ground. In order to get
the required grade to the top of this
elevation the track now in course OF
construction will pass up an arroyo
and turning abruptly come in directly
tc the smelter.
From the stakes driven into the
ground indicating the boundaries of
the smelter building 1t was found that
the building. will cover a space of 200
feet squar or nearly an acre in extent.
II is understood hat the building itself
will be constructed of a framework of
! wood and corrugated iron. The smell
ter at the first foor will be about 20
feet above the level: then the charging
floor and ore bins will be 16 feet o
that and the tracks will come in at IA
! feet higher yet. BY this arrangement
! the ore will be dumped from the cars
above into the ore bins. and from the
, ore bins the ore will go or a level into
the furnaces. After the ore passes
through the n the Stag drops to
the bottom. 20 feet lower. The great
| value of this Dlan will be the fact that
there is no lifting of material out. on
the contrary it drops from stage 10
stage of the process.
AS p further NEAR of ~eXpedlting the
handling of the ore there will be two
| switch tracks. One of them Will pass
through the ore house and alongside
hte bins and the other will be back or
The bins. The loaded cars will come
IN on the first track and go out empty
on the other. In connection with the
smelter there will be a pumping plant
which will give a daily capacity or l2O.-
900 gallons of water. The smelter IL Is
understood will be able 10 handle about
$50 tons of ore a day from the start.
According to hose IN are familiar
with smelter propositions the location
of this particular one is ideal. and the
| plans that have been drawn for II VIII
utilize the natural advantages to their
fullest extent.
AS soon as the grading of the switch
! IS is finished the construction work on

is learned that all the contracts Tor

will be pushed to completion.
