1acturer' of Philadelphia, died early
Saturday in Paris, France, from heart
disease. He was 70 years old. Mr..

sides great financial stroke. the
one which brought immediate and
astonishing wealth, was his exploiting
and subsequent purchase of the Tono-
pah, New, mining properties. The
feat of Jim Butter, whose name is now
inseparably linked with the romance
OF the desert bonanza camp, when he
struck highgrade ore by a curious
accident on April Fools Day six wears
ago, was made possible by the inan-
clal backing he received from the
Philadelphia snuff manufacturer.
Woodslde never doubted that a thor
ough prospecting of Southern Nevada
would uncover its great mineral wealth
and the success of his agent, Butler,
fully yindicated this faith. Before
Eastern capital was we'll aware OF
what the new mining region offered,
WOOdside stepped in and for $50, 900
bought claims which today would sell
quickly for $50, 1000, 900. Mr.. Woodside
was man of affairs and besides being
in the snuff business held responsible
