NOTED NINE EXPERT DIES
NEGLECTED AND A PAUPER

GLOBE, June William Lsnius,
once a prominent mining expert in the
Globe district, a relic Of the days
when silver aud not copper was the
metal most souhgt for here, died at the
county hospital he'e a pauper.
Lanius work, that Of an amalgama'
ton expert, was the indirect cause OF
his death. Constant contact with mer'
curry, used in the amalgamstion pro
cess. allowed that metal to diiIuse IL
self through the tissues Of his body.
Salvation followed. For the past
several years, the old man, old at least
in the state of his health, had been
able TO make his way about town " til
difficulty, dragging with hating steps
his pain. wraeked body.
When silver production was at its
best in this district, in the seventies,
Lanius came to Globe aud took up his
work. that Of extracting silver from
the ores BY the smslgsmation process.
That system had not gained the pres
tige il holds at the present time and
he was a well known figure 10 the
camp. His work was watched with in.
terest by artisans and professional
miners as we'll. He made money and
he spent it, but saved, Notwithstanding
But In time. constant contact with
quicksilver allowed that metal to Sc
cure a hold upon him. His health
failed. What had been a silver camp
changed into what has since become
the center of the copper producing
distrio. in the southwest. The savings
Of Lanius gave out. In the end ne
suecumbed to the grim reaper.

dents is practically complete. II will
figure to over 10000. and much prop

The total amount of insurance cover
ed was but 1900, and that was on =

being old and Of an inaammsble char
acter, the rate was either prohibitive
or the insurance companies cared not
to run the risk at any price.
Gronlund states that no has been
given permission TO rebuild his liquor
store, and in this correction . peculiar
proposition faces those who occupied
ground at that particular site. The
town of Walker was built on patented
mining ground, and several govern
ment deeds to this end covered that

when asked for a statement NELL said
he had just retained J. T.. Jones as
cousel, who advised them TO mako no
statement.
NELL did, however, make a few indi.
rect remarks which might indicate
that there will be some sensational de.
velopments when the case comes TO
trial. Asked when they left Mexico,
both Neill and Woods laughed heartily.
