Three car loads of mine ma
chinery and equipment for this
property have arrived. and the
first Of it was hauled over the
mountainy yesterday by the teams
belonging to the Judd-Lund &
Olson company. In this consign-
ment for the King is the 5O-horse
power Alamo hoist, ordered from
the Richmond Machinery com
pany of Salt Lake; also a COM
pressor, gallows frame, etc.,
purchased from the same firm.
President Kirby, who arrived in
the city Sunday, expected to re-
main until the equipment had
been delivered to the mine, but
the heavy snow interfered, and
he returned to Salt Lake Thurs
day morning. The storm has
also hindered somewhat the force
|of carpenters employed in the
construction Of the mine build
ings.
E. B. Frederick, who was
awarded the contract to sink the
shaft 150 feet, has arrived from
Searchlight with a force Of first
class miners. and has begur
work.

Thomas w. Ford is dead. Just
as he was blossoming into full
manhood; with a future filled
with promise, he fell a victim Of
a dreadful accident in the Day
mine at Jack Rabbit last Sunday
afternoon. In a twinkling al
most, life was snuffed out; a few,
hours later his mangled remains
were found by co-workers at the
900 foot station of the shaft.
Today his soul rests in peace,
and all that is mortal Of him
lies in silent tomb in the city
of the dead near this city.
His tragic end came as a dis
tinct shock to this entire COM
munity. and even now it is diff
cult to believe that he has left
this earthly sphere. Tom Ford
was a man; every inch of him.
He was mentally, morally and
physically strong. Intensely de-
voted was he to his invalid moth
er. 1t is said of him that not a
month was allowed to pass with
out sending her a portion Of his
previous months earnings, and
it was a pleasure to him to know
that he had done something to
wards giving her comfort and
cheer in her declining years. He
loved his sisters, and was pos
sessed Of those sterling qualities
which made him popular among
all acquaintances.
The funeral was largely at.
tended; all business houses Of
the city, as well as many Of the
mines, were closed during tn,
obsequies. The services were
conducted Tuesday Afternoon
from the residence of his brother
in-law and sister, Mr., and Mrs

to be in good condition for the
continuance of an aggressive de-
velopment campaign during the
next year. -.,
The management was author

from President Taylor that the
new buildings ordered erected
sometime ago are completed, and
that two shifts are employed in
driving the tunnel, the present
length of which is about 180 feet.
The face is showing strong
naturalization, indicating that
the tunnel is nearing the first

ries Of conferences which will
afford opportunity for discussion
upon all Of the important prob
lens affecting the mining indus
try, is being arranged for by the
American Mining congress.
which has decided to hold its
next annual session at Goldfeld,
Nevada, during November Of
this year.
Already prominent mining
men, mining attorneys, and vari-
GUS associations are asking for
the opportunity to present for
discussion certain matters vitally
affecting the welfare Of the min
ing industry. So intimate . No
lation does the condition Of min
ing bear to the whole national
prosperity, that the COMMITTEES
on mines and mining Of the
United States congress, which
petitioned the mining congress
to hold its next session at Gold
field, is arranging to be rspre-
sented by majority Of it, mem
bers. The forest service Of the
government; which has likewise
been brought in close contact
with mining operators in many
instances, will be given q chance
to uphold its course before the
mining men Of the westeIa re
Igions who, II any, have hss real
cause to complain Of the impro-
per administration Of the forest

A committee on the general
revision Of federal mining laws
which has been laboring two
years or more upon a plan for
unifying the laws affecting
mining. will make its final re-
port. It is considered by repre-
sentative mining men that this
is one of the most important
tasks ever undertaken by the
mining congress, and with the
growing strength of this organi-
zation it is believed that the ear
of the national congress can be
easily gained when substantial
reforms in this direction are rec
commended.
