Death OF Pioneer

Isaac N. Sharp, age 76 years, who
came to this camp shortly after the

S. J. Clark in Sunnyside, from old
age and the effects of paralytic
stroke he suffered two years ago.
The funeral will be held at St. Paul's
church at 2 O'Clock this afternoon, the
services being in charge of Father Nc
Cabe
For many years Mr.. Sharp followed
the occupation Of carpenter and in
the sos was town marshal and later
a justice of peace for two terms.
Two years ago he was stricken by
paralysis which left him in nearly a
helpless condition and scarcely able to
talk. Little is known regarding his
antecedents, but it is said he had a sis
ter in Kansas, whose address however
is unknown. A nephew in the east
who assisted in the care of the old
gentleman, has been notified by tele-
graph of his death.

lists under bond and lease, and bids are
wanted for driving the upper tunnel so

body was opened, and as soon as devel-

SIZING UP SHELTER SITUATION.

Mr.. J. C. kernohan, of the J. C.
kernohan company. financial agents.
Cleveland, Ohio, and Charles E. Colber,
president of the Coakley -Colber COM
pany, of Rochester, N. Y. arrived in
this city Thursday in the interests Of
syndicate which proposes to erect a
number Of pyritic smelters in this
state where sufficient ore supply is
assured, and coal, coke, lime and labor
can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
Pyritlc smelters are most successful in
the treatment of sulphide ores carrying
high per centage of sulphur, which
is utilized to assist in the process of
smelling, and in which copper is used
as the value collecting material in the
furnace charges.
The gentlemen represent eastern
capitalists and their visit is for the
purpose of ascertaining the probable
ore supply, and to what extent the
producers of copperiron ores in this
and other nearby camps would support
the enterprise. Conferences were had
with the president of the chamber of
commerce and number of the leading
mining men, and it was the consensus
of opinion that the new smeter would
receive liberal support from the larger
ore shippers.
Obviously the plans of the syndicate
are not made public, but it is under
stood that they contemplate the erec-
tion of plant near this city, where, it
is claimed, fuxes can be delivered al
most as cheaply as at valley points, es-
pecially lime rock which abounds in the
foothills. The theory is that the tluxes
can be hauled here cheaper than the
crude ore can be transported to the val

valley smelters
In looking over the field the gentle
