SUNBEAM MINE.

The Salt Lake Tribune says
that C. E. Gable has secured
control of the stock of the Gold
en- Sunbeam mines at Custer.
Mr.. Gable worked long and
under many difficulties until last
summer, when he made discov-
cries which showed the Sunbeam
to be worth millions. 1t is on
account of this long struggle
under adverse circumstances
and the valuable discoveries
made in the property that Mr..
Gable is today being congratu-
lated on having secured control
of it.
For a long time there has been
a hot rivalry to get control of
this and adjoining properties,
like the North Sunbeam Mining
company and the Bismarck
Mountain Mining company. I'M
til a short time ago it had gem
orally been understood that R.
Macbeth had managed TO gain
control of the Golden Sunbeam.
As a matter of fact, it was sew
eral times reported that Mac
beth, Mccormick, Leland, and
others, had secured control of
the stock.
Mr.. Gable came from Pitts
burg with IL, 900 shares of the
80, 900 shares of the oompany's
stock.
The Golden Sunbeam, during
the last summer run, produced
$50, 700 from an ore body which
from present development is con
servatively estimated to be worth
many millions. 1t will thus be
seen that Cables success in get
ting control of the Golden Sun
beam means much to. many own
ers of adjoining properties as
we'll as to the company which he
directly represents, as he IS IN a
position to effect a consolidation
of properties which amount to
millions of dollars to their own
ers of adjoining mines.

The deceased had been in poor
health for some months past, but
was not believed to be danger
ously sick until short time be-
fore his death. He lived near
the Nevada Hotel, at the lower
end of town, and had not been
away from his house for several
weeks, although he was not con-
fined to his bed. Mr.. Dunn of
the hotel wGs caring for him for
several weeks past and took his
supper in to him, as usual, that
evening; but the patient COM
planned of feeling very sick and
did not partake of the food, and
lay down on the bed and expired
almost instantly. His death was
great surprise to all here, as
he made no complaint and was
not known to be dangerously
sick. The probable cause of his
death was abcess of the stomach
as he had at one time been badly

ty from Nevada in '79 or 80. He
became interested in mining and
took active part in politics. He
was one term elected County
Commissioner and was Chairman
of the Board. He was a native
of Kentucky and was a first
cousin of the elder Mayor Carter
Harrison of Chicago.
At the time of his death Mr..
Dudley was sole owner of the
Bachelor group of mines near
Custer, which is in bond to Salt
Lake and local parties. Mr..
Geo. r. Dearden has charge of
his business affairs.
Funeral services were held at
the Miners Union Hall at 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon, con-
sisting of Scriptural readings,
vocal and instrumental music,
conducted by the ladies of Gus
ter and the children of the
school. The interment was in
the Bonanza cemetery Sunday
morning, the 18th, and was at
tended by many from Custer and
Bonanza.
1t would seem that the old
timers of the Yankee Fork coun-
try are afflicted with an epidemic
of Death, as large number have
passed through the Sunset Gate
of Life during the past year or
two and are at rest in the old
Bonanza graveyard.
Life may be a hard and sad
proposition at best, but it is not
a mystery, an enigma, an allie
CORY, an illusion, as some writ
ers would have it. 1t is entirely
real and earnest. 1t is a prac-
tical issue-a battle for Life, a
fight against Death, which be-
gins at the cradle and ends al
the grave.
The Death problem was as
much of a mystery to the proph-
cts and philosophers of older
times as it is to US to-day. Jere
miah says man fieeth away as
a shadow and where is he ?' II
he didn't know why should he
ask others ? He was a prophet
and supposed to know every
thing. Job inquired if a mar
could live after he was dead
Job was a great man but h,
couldn't give a reply to hi:
question. The apostles wer,
also puzzled as to the future o
man. All that is known or eve.
can be known about it is tina
Life is life, and Death is death
But one little flower, zone kinC
word for the living, is worth
more to them than all the flower
and all the monuments that cal
be heaped upon their grave whel
they are dead.
But, after all, Death is charit
, able, generous and sympathetic
; and should not be feared. H
all who pass the portals of hi
mysterious palace are his wel
come and eternal guests. Out @
Oblivion, into Oblivion-th'
Alpha and the Omega of all lif
and all things.
