EXPIRES WITH
SONG ON LIPS
WELL KNOWN EXPRESSMAN
FALLS DEAD IN STREET
FAITHFUL HORSE M0URNS HIM
"Happy Jack" Lewis, a Familiar Char
aoter In Los Angeles for Years,
Passes to His Last
Rest
FAITHFUL HORSE MoURNS HIN

with a song on his lips and laughter
in his heart, Jack Lewis, or Happy
Jack" as he was known among his
friends, dropped dead yesterday MORN
ing while carrying a trunk from a
roomlng house at 563 South Hope street.
Lewis, who has been in the express
business in Los Angeles for the last
twelve years and known to nearly
every one by his ever-cheerful song and
happy smile, had just deposited a
heavy trunk on the sidewalk to be
roped and placed in his wagon, when
he suddenly fell backwards, striking his
head on the stone curbing. A woman
living at 563 South Hope street saw the
expressman, who was 70 years old,
strike the stone curbing and fastened
to his assistance, but Lewis was un-
conscious when she reached him and
died few minutes later.
Ever since Lewis came to the city
twelve years ago he has had his little
express office at the corner of Fifth and
Hill streets, where, it is said by persons
who have known him for long time,
he was wont to greet every one with a
smile and pleasant word and when
alone he would sing over and over
again some old English ditty.
Faithful Horse Mourns
AS the crowd gathered around the
body Of Lewis yesterday morning the
action of the faithful old express horse
nd n
crowded around his old master the
horse seemed to instinctively know that
something was wrong. First he turned
his head and looked around inquiringly
and, failing to hear his masters voice,
he stepped boldly onto the sidewalk,
waited a moment for the usual stray
apple core or lump of sugar, which was
not forthcoming, and then he gave a
low, mournfuI whine.
The aged eXpressman has been in i'll
health for the last six months, and
had been advised by his physician tc
do no heavy work, but he had not
obeyed the instructions of his medical
adviser. 1t is thought that the exer-
tion Of carrying the trunk yesterday
morning was too great for him. and his
death is attributed to heart failure, al
though an examination showed thai
his skull had been fractured in the
fall.
Lewis lived at $50 West Fourth street
in a little cottage he purchased some
years ago. 1t was there that he kept
his faithful horse which he drove to
his little office early every morning.
Until thirteen years ago Lewis had
led a single life, then he applied at q
San Francisco matrimonial agency and
was welded short time afterward
He has often confided to his friends
since his marriage that he really didn't
know how foolish he had been and
how much enjoyment he had missed
in life until he got a wife.

THE SIDE THAT is
NOT CONSIDERED

The larger portion of the business
acted by three companies, The Mutual
Life, The New York Life and the
Equitable Life Assurance society.
Here is the result of their steward
ship from the date of their commence
ing business up to January l, 1905,
taken from the official reports of these
institutions, and verified by the state
departments to which these reports
are made:

1t will be seen by the above figures
that these companies have returned to
the policy -hoders, or hold in trust for
them every dollar that the insured
have paid in premiums, and $123, ,619, 900
in addition which they have accumu-

Institutes In the Hills.

The board in charge OF the Farm
ers' Institute work of the state have
decided, after consulting with the
various interests involved, to open
the years work by holding half
dozen one day and evening meetings
in the Hills during July. The places
and dates decided upon are: Spear
fish, July s; Belle Fourche, July II;
Sturgis, July l3; Rapid City, July
10; Buffalo Gap, July IS; Hot
Springs, July 20.
Regent M. f. Greeley, whom the
board has selected to supervise the
work, will be in charge and informs
US that he has been fortunate in Sc
curing an exceptionally strong force
of speakers for these meetings,
thoroughly acquainted with local
needs and conditions. The home, as
well as the farm, garden and stock
interests, will be prominently pre-.
sented and women and young peo.
pie are especially urged to be pres
ent the entire time. Such topics as
fruit. plain foods and living will in
terest them at the afternoon ses
sion; while in a separate hall, from
10 to IL in the morning, demonstra
tions in cooking will be given by {
competent lecturer.
Further particulars, including the
names of sneakers, subjects to be
discussed, ETC., will appear in com
ing issues.

per cent Of lead ore as we'll as gold
and silver. This character OF ore is
just what is needed at the smelter
here for smelling purposes. The
Harvest company appears to have
something unusually good, as the
high per cent Of lead in the ore will
more than pay for its treatment,
leaving the gold and silver obtained
as clear profit.
Development work continues at
the Spondumene, near the old Eta
mine. A new blacksmith shop and
boiler house is being built at the
mine and q new car track is being
laid in the tunnel.

passed the experimental stage, and
from now on will produce the yell

Trials Of a sheephearder.

Ralph Wagner, . member OF the
exclusive set in Pilot Rock has re-.
turned from Glendive Mont, where
he recently went to accept o posi-.
tion as sheep herder at $45 per. At
the distance Montana is from Pilot
Rock this salary looked pretty good
to Ralph. He worked one day, re-
signed his job, demanded his pay
and is again in Gods own country.
Ralph is an old hand at the business
the sheep business, of course
is inclined to taEe things easy. He
loves to read and does not like to be
disturbed as he follows closely tho
detective in some famous diamond
robbery, or the william who still pur.
sues her. He had laid in good
stock Of the latest "blood and thun-
der" stories, bade his sweethearts
goodbye and was light of heart
when he reached Montana. He was
given band of sheep, numbering
three thousand, and all that part Of
Montana lying east Of the Yellow.
stone river, except the crow reserva.
tion, and was told to do the best he
could. There was no grass in sight
and the sheep scattered, and Ralph
tried to keep up. He walked up,
wards OF forty miles the first day,
lost all the sheep, except one old
eve, on which COW bell was tied,
and sent word to his boss If he
wanted him to work any longer he
had better send him another band Of
sheep and fast horse. Ralph says
there is practically no grass in that
section of Montana and that after
working one day and running to
death three dogs, he concluded to
quit his job. Ralph is now moro
contented to live in Pilot Rock than
ever before. He says the only thing
that can keep up with a band Of
sheep in Montana is a coyote.

MINING NOTES.

E. G. Johnson is vigorously prose
cutting the work OF removing the
water from the Gertie shaft and
drifts near Hill City. The under
taking will require some time, pos
sibly a month, by which time the
mill now in course of construction
will be in readiness for operation,
and then it will be determined
whether Or not the ore from the
Gertie will be OF sufficient value to
work the property. The Gertie is
believed to be one of the best tin
prospects to have been discovered in
this portion of the Hills Elk.
DR.. F. R. Carpenter, we'll known
in the Black Hills, first as dean of
the state school of mines at Rapid,
and later as manager of the D. & D.
smelter in this city, has been en-
gagged by the linton company to
take charge of it's future operations.
1t is said that the company will
shortly proceed to considerably in
crease the capacity of its milling
plant, and that some important
changes in the equipment have been
practically decided upon. DIR. Car
penter will put several OF his new
ideas into practice and every ono
has faith in his ability to make a
success OF the venture.
The company owns a large acre
age on large TN vein OF unusual
size, and has an almost limitless
supply of low grade ore at it's com
mand. The mechanical features alone
remain to be perfected in order tc
place the company on paying
