DEATH OF LACK" kERMEEN
of the Pioneers of Eu.
reka Mining District Passes
Away at Reno

John j. Kermeen, more Familiarity
known as Jack" one of the leading
mine owners and business men of Eu-
reka 80 years ago. died in Reno, June
10. He was taken sick while out pros
pecting in the Billy Greek Mining Dis
trict, So miles from Lovelock, from
where he vas brought in a wagon and
put on the train and sent to Reno.
Mr.. Kermeen left Eureka about 2S
years ago. going to Bodie, California.
where he soon became prominent in
mining circles. After that camp de-
clined he went to Arizona, afterwards
to British Columbia. and later returned
to Nevada.
He vas n Of the pioneers of the
mining districts of Southern Nevada,
but not one of the fortunate ones. At
the time he was taken i'll he was a field
man for some capitalists and was pros
pecting and looking for mining prop
critics near the Oregon state line.
He vas a typical miner, a man of
great energy. and was known through
out the State as the desert prospector."
During his residence in Eureka he
las rated as quite wealthy, but we learn
at the time of his death he was all but
penniless.
His son, Walter Kermeen, who was
in Tonopah &c the time Of his fathers
death, was telegraphed for and came on
to Reno.
Deceased was a native of England.
and GA years of age.
WIDOW Arrives After Funeral
The Reno Journal of June 20 pub
fishes the following explaining why
Mrs. Kermeen was not present at her
husbands funeral:
Because of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company's office at Goldfeld and
a delayed train during the trip. Mrs.
J. ]. Kermeen, wife of the old Nevadan
buried here Friday, missed the funeral.
Arriving in Reno during the afternoon.
the anguish stricken widow hurried to
the undertakers, and found that her
husband had already been inferred.
Mrs. Kermeen was in Goldfield on a
business trip connected with her mines.
and three kilograms were sent to her
by former Editor O'Brien, who was a
friend of the sick man, but did not reach
the wife from here. Mrs. Kermeen
says those kilograms remained unde-
livered, and even when the announce
ment of her husbands death came, she
did not receive it for another day.
Starting for this city Thursday even
ing, Mrs. Kermeen should have arrived
Friday morning at 40. The engine
broke down on the way, however. and
she maintains she did not get in until
$3.50 in the afternoon.
The floral pieces arrived from Sacra-
mento. but they were received after the
service was held.
James F. O'Brien, who with DIR.
Hutchins and the son, Walter, made ar
rapgements for the funeral, used every
means to notify Mrs. Kermeen of her
husbands sickness and death. They
even wired the chief of police at Gold
field, and a piece was inserted in the
Tribune there. But Kermeen's wife
maintains she never came in touch with
the parties looking for her.
Mrs. Kermeen stated yesterday that
her husband was not penniless as his
friends supposed, but owned a cyanide
plant at Bodie, California, valued at
$25, 900, several mining claims through
out the State. and stocks and cash in
bank.

EUREKA HAD "HIGH GRADERS"
In the Early Days the Pure Stuff
Was Taken From the
Refinery

Is the "honest miner sharing in the
general moral decline?
Or is thigh grading" which means
in plain English the systematic theft of
rich ore by men employed in a mine, no
more common than it used to be?
The Bee would like to hear from some
of its mountain contemporaries on this
score.
Unless "high grading" is merely a
smooth, new name for an old and very
contemplate form Of larceny. the
''honest miner may soon be no more
than a tradition. Sacramento Bee.
Speaking for Eureka District, "high
grading" is no new term. 1t was prac.
ticed here 30 years ago. Not by miners
in the theft Of ore. it is true, but in
stealing refined silver bullion from the
refinery that was in operation here in
those days, A young man who was en-
ployed in the refinery at that time is
believed to have stolen at least $40, 900
in one year. He was arrested and tried.
but it developed before the end of the
trial that he had so many influential"
partners associated with him in the
business, who were afraid he would
give them away if he were sent to the
'pen," that they succeeded, by devious
means, so it was said at the time, in
securing his acquittal.
Nor was he the only ''high grader"
in those days, as was demonstrated in
Eureka within the past week. While
filling up an excavation in front Of a
residence IN Paul street a few days ago,
Felix Rice unearthed a pair of crucible
tongs, crucibles and a package of this
''high grade" silver bullion, weighing
about 10 pounds. which the fiuder gave
to assayer Locke to assay aud determine
its value. The stuff gave returns Of s21.
over 81 a pound.
Upon inquiry it was learned that one
Of the principal men working in the
refinery 25 years ago resided in the
house near where the ''find" was made.

HORSES STAMPEDE IN FIRE.
Twenty five Perish in Flames Which
Destroy Richmond Stable.

Richmond, Va. Nov. 1S.-Two hum
dred and fifty valuable horses stam-
peded at the outbreak of a fire which
totally destroyed the sale and livery
stable of Joseph Lassiter. one Of the
largest dealers in horses in the South.
Twenty-Five horses persisted in the
flames.
The horses, after their mad dash
from the burning building, scattered in
all directions. At 10 o'clock message
was received from a farmer living ten
miles below the city informing the
stable that thirty horses are being held
there for redemption.
The fire is believed to have been of
incendiary origin. The building was
entirely of wood and burned like finder.
The loss on the building and stock will
probably reach 100000.
Three men were more or less serious
IL injured during the fire. w. r.
Crowder was run over by an engine,
breaking his right arm. Charles Ran
doIph was run over by the stampeding
mules and horses, and G. II. Crow
der's right hand was nearly amputated
by glass while he was trying to enter
the burning building through a window
fer the purpose of liberating the stabbed
animals.
