DEATH OF THOS OLDEIELD.

Thomas Oldfeld, after suffering the
tortures OF thousand deaths for the
past five weeks, succumbed to the in
evitable Tuesday evening at about @
O'Clock p. M.
While employed at the ranch of A.
c. Cleveland In Spring Valley, Mr..
Oldfeld was taken down with the
mumphs aud the nearest physician be-
ing here, the disease was neglected and
terminated in typhoid fever. Five
ago weeks he was brought to Ely but
the ravages OF the fever had obtained
so strong hold upon him by this time
that never since has there been but
slight hopes OF his recovery. and for
the past three weeks he has each day
feen lingering between life and death.
The setting OF the sun Tuesday evening
came to him as welcome benison, for
at that time his spirit took its fig ht
and gave relief TO his untold sufferings.
Everything within the power of
human hands was done for him by his
parents, but il all proved of no avail
his time had come. Notwithstanding
the fact that he had the benefit OF the
medical knowledge of both our physi-
clans, together with tho consultation
OF visiting physician from California,
and the most careful and painstaking
nursing, nothing that was ever done
seemed to give him relief and day by
day he drew nearer that unknow
land.
The deceased was a son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Jos. Old field OF this place, and at
the time OF his death was 10 years, 6
months and days of age. He was a
native OF this county, having been born
in Snake valley, at what is now known
as the Reher ranch. He leaves, besides
his father and mother. three brothers
aud. two sisters, residing here, to
mourn his loss.
The funeral took place yesterday af-
ternoon at o'clock, and large cor
tege followed the body to It's last rest
ing place In the Ely cemetery.
II cannot say will not say,
lie is dead-He S just away.
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave OF his hand
He has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since he fingers there.
And. you. You, who the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return.
Think Of him faring on, as dear,
In the love of There as the love of here,
Think Of him still the same, say
He's not dead-He's just away.

Do Good-It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that,
Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend a helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it," Most men appre-
ciate a kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses ofChamberlain's Cough
Remedy will rid you of your cold, and
there is no danger whatever from pneu-
monia when you use that medicine. 1t

A Criminal Waste.

During q ride out into the country we
observed a big pile of logs piled up on
the ground at the old Mayhower mine.
These logs were hauled some three years
ago by the Graydon company with the
design to saw them up into lumber need
ed for the building of a mill and other
necessary buildings for the working Of
the mine. The company failed for some
reason to take the property and the logs
have been left to decay and will soon be
of little use to anybody. The logs, as
we understand, have been seized by the
officers of the forest reserve, and the
original owners Of the mine are not per-
mitted to utilize them, although they
were cut from the ground embraced
within the boundary lines of the May
flower claims. Under our mining laws
these logs belongs to the owners Of the
mine, who would, if permitted, use them
and prevent their destruction. There is
we were told, $4,000 feet OF lumber in
these logs worth at least $4,000. We can
not understand why these logs are left to
rot, and we know Of no law by which
the owners can be prohibited from using
them. At all events it looks like a wan
ton waste of what would have been first
class lumber. We would like to hear an
explanation if any car be given
why this destruction of useful property
should be allowed.
