Rev. Robinson Dead

A letter from Herbert d. Rob
%inson, addressed to j. F. Crawford,
was received here Monday, which
brought the intelligence that Rev.
Robinson died Sunday, the 7th. at
II o'clock noon. The body will
be taken to Schuyler, Nebraska,
for burial, TO which place it will
be accompanied by the family, and
where they will reside in future.
Rev. Robinson was, for several,
years, the pastor of the Presbyter.
ian church at this place. In May,
1901. he was compelled to resign
and 90 to Nebraska for the beaetit
of his health, he being afflicted
with consumption. For the past
two years he has been a resident
of Boulder, Colo. where he hnger-
ed in much pain until the end
came last Sunday When the
news of his death spread over the
town there was universal sympa-
thy expressed for the widow and
her two sons at the loss they had
sustained.
Rev. Robinson was a good man
He had IA heart of gold, and he
was one of the most universally
loved men that this valley has
ever known. As he was not a
brilliant pulpit talker, his great
popularity could not be laid to the
spell of his oratory. But there
was a charm about his personality
that held his friends in close
bondage. Christ said, that for
a righteous man, one would scarce
" die, but for a good man, some
would even dare to die. Rev.
Robinson was not only righteous,
he was good. and his goodness
was of the character that Christ
meant, when he said hat some
would even dare to lie for them.
Ever since his departure from this
place, the hearts of the people
here have followed him with ten.
der solicitude, a solicitude that
often took the form of substantial
aid, as well as messages of love
and remembrance.
And now that he has gone, this
good and tender man, whom we
all loved. we can all say with one
voice: "May your spirit rest in
eternal peace in the bosom of the
Father"

From a private letter, written
by c.. w. Taylor, the Detroit min
ing man, who has been interested
in the development of this country
for some years, the following ex-
tracts are made:

send you some information regard
ing my operations over on the
Savory. But, really, there was
nothing of interest | could send
you. | might say, however. that
the Boncobia Company will let
another contract for so feet in the
incline we are running on our Big
Grizzly group. John K. Smith
has just completed a 5O-foot con-
tract on this group and will con
tinue sinking on the new contract.
We have an excellent showing on
this property, and expect to com
mence shipping with the opening
of Spring We are also doing ex-
tenslve work On property owned
by the same company near Raw
Inns. | am confident there will
soon be producing mines opened
near Rawlins that will discount
anything yet discovered in Wyo-
ming The indications all point
that way now.
| am interesting considerable
cnpital in new territory in Wyo-
ming at present. Have Just or
gHnized "A new company-The Red
Chief Mining Company-to work

waters of the Savory. Have also
let Il contract for fifty feet of sink
ing ON tins property, the erection
of a S%hafthouse, blacksmith shop
and cabin. This contract was also
let to John X. Smith, who is a
director in the company, Detroit
capital is back of this enterprise
This property already has shipping
one, showing excellent values in
copper and gold. We are also
carefully sorting the ore as it
m from this property, same as
the Boncobia, and in the spring
we will get out some shipments
from these two properties that will
surprise you. That district in
and about the Syndicate and
Savory Greek will, with a little
development, rival anything in
the West.

out Baltimore awoke this morn.
ing to face a grave situation.
Confronting the mayor and as
soclates of the civil government

lance from every section of the

where lies buried untold trea-

that follow sc stupendous a cal
amity.
Probably never before has there
been a fire of such magnitude
without loss of life and SO remark
ably free from accidents. The
fireman reported killed was found
to be alive. a careful round of
the hospitals revealed the fact
that by far the greater part of the
