amusement on the faces Of some Of his
colleagues, John stammered, halted ana
closed with:
"Well-well. it is true that we have
fair elections in Mississippi, but every

PROMINENT MINING
MAN DIES

At San Francisco, on the goth in
slant, occurred the death of Colonel
David H. FOCUS, aged II years. The
funeral was held from the family resi-.
dence in that city on the 2lst.
Colonel FOCUS was one of the best
known mining men on the Pacific coast
lie was a native of Virginia, emigrat-
ing to Missouri in the SOS, where he
was connected with the zinc and lead
mines at Joplin for some years.
He went to Montana shortly before
the civil war, and in 1862 went to Ida
ho, being the d%iscoverer of the rich
placer mines in Boise Basin. He also
operated extensively in quartz proper
ties at Silver City. He vas the expert
sent to Butte by Haggin and Hearst to
examine the Anaconda, and it was up
on his advice they ecquired this cele-
brated property.
Many years ago Col. FOCUS operated
in White Pine county and on the Com
stock in this state, and was well known
to all the old-time operators in Nevada.
Colonel FOCUS death was of impor-
tanee to Humboldt county from the
fact that at the time of his death he
was negotiating for properties in this
section, being represented by Colonel
Frank Mccain.
