DEATH CLAIMS COLUMBIA MAN
Walter Coburn, Prominent Business
Man Dies of Typhoid Fever

After an illness extending over a
period of 81 days Walter Coburn, of
the firm of Coburn & Jarvis of Column
bia, passed away at his home in the
neighboring camp Saturday night.
Funeral services were conducted at the
home Sunday afternoon by the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles of which Mr..
Coburn was a member and the body
was taken to the depot by an escort of
friends, and shipped to his former
home in Gearneyville, California, where
interment took place on Wednesday.
The remains were accompanied by Mrs.
Coburn and her few weeks old baby,
Mr.. Coburn' s. mother who was at the
death bed of her son, his brother and
James Banks.
One sad feature connected with Mr.
Coburn's illness and death was the
fact that his baby girl was born at the
time he was taken sick and that he
saw the child but once.
Mr.. Coburn came to Southern Ne
vada four years ago, locating in Tone
pah where he was employed by the
Lothrop-Davis company. He was one
of the first to locate in Columbia when
that place was started and formed =
partnership with c. X. Jarvis. Several
months ago the firm suffered a loss by
fire of about $4,000.
Mr.. Coburn, while a young man, was
on the high road to success. He was
popular in Goldfeld and Columbia as
well as in Tonopah where he was a
pioneer.

the Red Top Mining company, together
with H. L. Taylor, a >Irector and W. E.
Hughey, a prominent stakeholder there

together in celebration of the day and
the era of golden prosperity it marks
in the history of the Red Top mine.
There will be no necessity for those
gentlemen to place a limit on the price
of the repast with which they will re.
gale themselves for a few handouts OF
that $40 in gold to the pound ore being
mined in that property will more than
pay the expense entailed and still sup
ply them with sufficient change with
which to properly hail the arrival OF
the new year.

Golden State Hardening to Call Fron
Nevada Desert

California people are hardening "a
the story from the grim, old Nevad.
desert, according to John DonneIlan
the well known broker, who has iust
returned to camp from San Francisco
and other coast points, and they like
the tale of treasure trove and az
fortunes wrested from it's arid waste.
Mr.. Donnellan left Goldfeld severn,
months ago somewhat broken in health
and while absent visited the variou.
cities along the Pacific seaboard where
he not alone gained a good bit physie.
ally. but secured considerable informa-
ton regarding the sentiment that pre-.
walls in that section toward the min.
ing industry here. In speaking on that
subject to a reporter for The News
Yesterday Mr.. Donnellan said:
.sThe people of California, while they
have been somewhat slow in their con.
sideration of Goldfeld mining PROPOSE.
lions, are now fully convinced of the
many opportunities they offer for
profitable investment and with that
conviction has followed the determine.
ton to take advantage of them. The
sentiment is as yet in it's embryonic
stages but it is growing rapidly and
with the announcement that a few more
dividend payers have been established
the trend of California capital will be
Goldfieldward. There is plenty wealth
in the Golden State that can be divert.
ed to Southern Nevada camps and some
of it is already coming this way. 1t is
but the f~orerunner, however, of tina.
vastly larger sum when will come in
in the not distant future.
81 think that one of the most pro-
life sources of revenue Ior the develop
ment of mines here is to come from the
middle west with the advent of the
new year. In the early days of the
camp the monied men of that section
eagerly sought the opportunity to in
vest in Southern Nevada mines, but
owing to the many unworthy PROPOSE
tions foisted upon them at that time
they became shy and inclined to keep
a close grip on their pocketbooks when
ever a promoter from here approached
them. With the opening up of the
country, however, they have ascer-
tanned that the large majority of the
companies here are legitimate and with
that knowledge their purse stringe
have been loosened and they are in
vesting in the better class of stocks"
Mr.. Donnellan has been engaged in
the brokerage business for many years
and is one of the pioneer mining men
and brokers of the camp, hence his
opinion on matters of that nature are
worthy of careful consideration. He
was for a long time at the head of the
Kenneth Donnellan Brokerage company
here and recently severed his connec-
ton Herewith to engage in like busi
ness for himself. He has established
headquarters in the Offices formerly
occupied by that firm prior to its re-
moval to the Nixon block, and has al
ready established a paying and con-
stantly growing clientele.

VISION AND STEVENS HERE

W. ". Wishon and w. A. Stevens,
two of the best known and most sue
cessful mining men of the state, were
both in camp the past week, and made
a trip to Camp McGibbon to inspect the
workings of the Butte Goldfeld IN
which they are heavily interested. MI
Stevens also examined the recent strike
on the Mayfower at CRYSTAL springs
and says it is fully as good as reported.
Mr.. Wishon left for San Francisco
early in the week.

GUESTS OF HONOR
Members of Montezuma Club Extend
yule Tide Courtesies to Ladies

II bv the medium of Aladdin like
marie some resident of the older settled
communities of the east could nave
been transported last night from ms
comfortable fireside, or the cosy corner
of his club, to the cheerful apartments
of the Montezuma club, his ~preeonceiv-
ed ideas of the wild and woolly features
OF mining camp life would have been
rev~olutionized.
II was a veritable night in Bohemia,
with song, jest and story following
each other in rapid. succession, anu
with each person present doing his or
her utmost to make the visit of the
others one Of unalloyed enjoyment.
Yule tide cheer and generous, open
handed western hospitality were the
all pervading notes, and under the IN
auence of their ~fascinations the new
corners in the camp threw off the man
tie cf their reserve and entered into
the spirit of the festivities with the
same sp%ontaneity which animated the
pioneers of two years standing.
The members of the club left nothing
undone that would enhance the pleas
ure of their guests and in extending
their hospitality derived equally as
much enjoyment as did the large num-
Der of ladies present. The gathering
was as cosmopolitan in its complexion
as would attend a function at some
fashionable sea side resort. Ladies
were in attendance attired in the latest
modes of evening dress, others wore
street costumes of a no less fetching
pattern. A few of the gentlemen were
in evening dress, but the majority wore
business suits, and a few dropped In
during the course of the evening just
as they came from the mine, wearing
their corduroys and top boots. The
matter of costume made no difference
in the warmth of welcome accorded, and
if anything, the fellow in the digging
clothes had a slight edge over the chap
in broadcloth.
During the earlier hours an excellent
musical program, interspersed with re-
citations and story telling, was rem
dered. at the close of which an informal
reception took place and everyone was
introduced to everybody. Manager
Tate was omnipresent, here, there and
everywhere, solicitous always for every
ones pleasure and comfort and at the
same time keeping watchful eye on the
corps of walters that served the
dainty CONNECTIONS and refreshing
claret cup, and the success of the af-
fair was in no small measure due to his
able supervision.
The apartments were artistically dec
grated with Christmas green, while be-
meath the main chandelier was sus-
pended a huge bunch of mistletoe, and
sore was the temptation that ruffed
the breast of more than one luckless
swain when some dainty little lady
stepped innocently beneath its
branches. Long festoons of the green
cry stretched away in graceful loops
along the length of the walls, and
from the chandeliers to the corners of
the room, and the apex of each half
circle was pointed out with a crisp
branch of sprightly holly.
