because it was overshadowed by Quartz

W. w. Williams Falls 12O
Feet Down Shaft.

w. w. Williams, another Of the old
residents, met death very suddenly and
Unexpectedly last Friday morning while
working at the Prompt Pay mine in
Russell Gulch. He was sitting ON a
stull, repairing ladder at "a point about
sixty feet from the top of the shaft. It
is supposed he was leaning on the lad
der too heavily when it gave way and he
was plunged to the bottom Of the mine,
landing in about eight feet of water. 1t
is thought the ladder must have struck
him on the back OF the head while he
was falling as a fracture was discovered
at the base Of the skull. He fell a dis
tance of 120 feet and besides the injury
received above as stated, sustained a
broken nose and jaw. Death resulted
instantaneously. The body was brought
to this city and was received at the un-
dertaking parlors of E. L. Harris and
prepared for shipment to Denver where
the remains were Inferred Sunday IN
the Fairmont cemetery.
w. W. Williams was a native Of
Wales. About 18 years ago he came to
Gilpin county and has since devoted
his time to mining. He was very well
known throughout the camp and was
well liked and highly esteemed by every
one who had been fortunate enough to
make his acquaintance. Besides four
brothers an immediate family consisting
Of wife and four grown sons and
daughters survive him--Joe Williams Of
this city; Geo. Williams, master mechan-
ic Of the Independence mine in Victor;
Mrs. M Pintarelli, OF Russell Gulch and
Miss Lally Williams who resided with
her parents in this city. The untimely
death of Mr.. Williams cast a gloom Of
sorrow over the entire community, and
many expressions OF sympathy are ex-

what enthusiastic zeal the youngster will watch It

My keepers the rain and gloom;
