w. c. Fellows and Dan s. Richards, who have been unwatering the Mid night mine, at Chloride, preparatory to starting up work, are in Kingman. They have the mine free of water and are getting things in shape for a thorough examination of the property.
 Last Thursday afternoon Charles Whitfield arrived from his camp at Wild Horse spring, bringing with him samp pies of ore from recent dis covery. Part of the samples were from a ten ton lot of the ore that was prepared for shipment to the shelter, and another large piece showed the character of the ore streak. It was a solid mass of copper glance ore, run ming about sixty per cent copper and carrying values in gold and sil yer. He reports that recent work on the vein has shown it to be one of the best copper prospects ever opened in the county. The mine is situated in Weaver district, about twenty miles from Chloride. Henry Lovin is inter- ested in the new find.

At this point the pigeon on the little

moment looking down at everything

as feather on the roof of the cot

said, and in few days now wen give

men. or if he goes back to the loft

the bird that goes into the loft without
loafing around on the roof or platform
is always the best kind, for some
times races are won or lost by just
few seconds. We are going to train
Red and see what he can do and then
if he behaves himself We'll enter him

do we have to train him first?" the
boy inquired. II thought you said the

"Of course we'll have to train him."

VIM. G.. Fairchild.

The subject of this memoir, who
passed to eternal rest on the 10th
of March, 1909, was one of IRON
toms older residents. He was
born at Palmyra, Mo-, Nov. 10,
1913; removed to st. Louis while
yet a youth, and came here in Jan
uary, 1865. August 6, 1868, he was
married to Miss Matte j. Grigsby,
the late Rev. j. G. Bergman per-
forming the ceremony. To this
union were born five children
Oliver G., Edward H., Emma Lou
Use, Bertha and Nellie A. OF these,
three-Edward, Bertha, and Nell
lie-survive, Is does the wife and
mother. The daughters were all
married. Emma Louise departed
this life Jan. 18th, 1903, after sew
eral years of happy welded life.
Oliver G.. died in Idaho, Dec. 1,
1890.
Such is the epitome of the life OF
him whose presence shall be known
to earth no more. Mr.. Fairchild
was a model husband and father
and a good citizen. He filled var
ious positions of trust and betray-
ed none OF them.
| doubt if there is a resident of
the town whose taking-off would
leave more of a social void. His
place of business was for years the
evening resort of many good
neighbors who gathered to es-
change views and discuss matters
of local aod general interest. A
kindly welcome always met them,
and all had a good word to extend
to the quiet but genial host. AL
though Mr.. Fairchild was no adept
in piling UP this worlds goods,
he gave it the best bequeathment;
a respected memory and a poster
ity to do honor to that memory.
May he rest in peace, and may
those In bereavement live to sec
the Frightening skies bring light
to their darkness, and replace to-
days grief with hope for the NOR
row.
