ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
George Leslie RowIie Died at
Home in Highland Township
Tuesday, December 20.

George Leslie Rowlee, of Highland
township, one Of the pioneers of the
county, died at his home Tuesday, Dec.
10th, after an illness of several months
duration, his death being caused by
complicated throat troubles.
George Leslie Rowlee, son of Hum
phrey w. and Amelia H. Rowlee, was
born in Winnesheik county, Iowa, Dec.
25th, 1868, and came with the family to
Day county, South Dakota, in the spring
OF 1883. Here in this rapidly develop
ing country, he grew to adult years, all
the time gathering to himself a larger
circle of friends, who at this sad hour
bemoan his untimely death. Deceased
was a man of retiring disposition, care
full of his utterances and courteous to
those with whom he came in contact.
His reputation for honesty, sobriety
and industry is well known, and he
leaves behind the record of a good name,
which is always to be chosen above
material wealth. He was greatly
attached to his old home and also to his
aged parents, who. at this time will
miss him most grievously. Their main
stay is now removed. Here on TIE old
farm he toiled, here he suffered The
bodily affiiction which terminated his
earthly career; and here on the old
homestead, just as Christmastide was
drawing near, he gave up his life and
was not, for his Maker had taken him.
Thus n who was long identified with
this neighborhood has passed away, an
old comrade and his worthy companion
are plunged in sorrow, while a lone
brother, Austin Rowlee, cashier of the
bank at Mobridge, is left in the shadow
of affiiction. The deceased had been
in poor health for some months, but
the disease with which he was afflicted
was not considered dangerous until
recently, when various complications
set in that quickly brought the fatal
result and he passed away Tuesday
morning, Dec. 20.
The funeral service was held at the
Methodist church in this city Friday
afternoon, Dec. %, Rev. M. r. Crisp
preaching the sermon, and the body
was laid to rest in the Webster ceme-
terry.
Parents, we meet you here
On this sad day
To mingle tear with tear
A son has passed away.
Brother, we meet you here,
To cheer you on your way;
For he who was to you most dear
Is passed away.
Neighbors, we gather here,
To weep and pray,
For one whom we revere
A friend is passed away.

NEW EoUuPMENT
 FOR RICH PLACERs

Within the next few weeks one of the most novel placer mining pro- jects from a mechanical standpoint, will be under way on Milk Creek, which empties into the Hassayampa at Walnut Grove. It is a device that is known as a wet washing pro- cess and a vast amount of machinery is employed to handle the gravel.
 This plant is portable and can be transported easily by means of its own power. All the equipment has been shipped from Kirkland, and mechanics are engaged in placing it, under the direction of MT. Kimball, the inventor, who arrived recently from the East. The ground is own ed by Norris & Quick.
 The property IS located about one and oneJhalf miles from the home of A. A. Moore, and before deciding on the introduction of the maehin- cry, tests of the soil gave values ranging from 50 cents to $1 per yard Water is abundant and in past years the output by rocker and sluicing was remunerative. The ca pacity of the plant is said te be about twenty tons per day. Some idea of the substantial character of the machinery may be formed by mentioning the weight of the trucks that will support this machine, which required sixteen horses to haul it from Kirkland to Milk Creek.

LIGHTNING sTUNs
 ICE WAGON DRIVERS
(From Sundays Daily.)

(FTom Sundays Daily.)
 Lightning seems to have an af- fnity for flag poles in this city, and yesterday the one on the Hawkins building was struck and splintered. The main bolt struck the lower DOT tion, slicing off the greater part of it near where it was anchored to the roof. No other damage was done. Those on the second floor at the time, stated that they experienced no discomfort. -f
 In front of the building, on the street, however, there was consider able eommotion for a few minutes, due to the report that Rollie Mosher, driver of a Crystal lee company wagon, had been killed. The report proved to be untrue, and was due to seeing him lying on the ground behind his wagon, in a prostrate condition, for a few seconds. At the time the bolt descended, MT. Mosher was in the act of picking into a cake of ice. He was thrown violently several feet from the rear of the wagon, where he was stand ing on the platform. He kept his hold on the implement in his hands and after the sensation of the shock passed resumed his duties. He was very badly scared, and gave ex- pression to his fright by the alarm that held him several minutes.
 In East Prescott, at the home of P. P. Hastings, and practically at the same time as the down town dis turbanee, Bert Maxwell, also a driver of a Crystal Ice wagon, experienced similar shock. He was leaving the house, when the crash came, the bolt passing into the ground in the rear of the place and within a few feet of him. He was thrown to the ground, and for a few seconds was bewildered by the unusual sensa' tion.
 Through these occurrences to the above vocation, the old familiar say ing of "Don't you wish you were the ieeman," loses its flavor.

Respected Pioneer Citizen Expires Last Night After
 Brave and Gritty Fight With the Grim Reaper

reached this country, poor in purse and with no friendly face to greet
 him. He resided in New York for short time and later went to Bos- ton, where he found employment in the National Tube Works, where he remained about four years. In 1868, thinking that he could better his condition, he went to Alleghany City, Pa, and entered the same line of employment. Seized with the West ern spirit, and like hundreds of others in that day, he went to Cali fornia, and immediately followed the vocation of miner, working on the Comstock and prospecting the noun tains from one end to the other of that state.
 This line he followed until the spring of 1879, and the Tombstone excitement occurring, hither he drift ed, with many others. Arriving at the latter place he was employed at the Grand Central mine over one year. Later, he, with others, started to prospect the surrounding noun tains, which he followed over two years. When the Tip Top silver ex- citement was at its zenith in this county, Mir. Hickey, with others, came to the new field, arriving in 1883. From that day to the pres ent he has been a steadfast and firm friend of this section, and it was here that he made his advent into political life, after about one year of prospecting. His firm and in- trepid manhood was recognized by Jacob Henkle shortly after his ar rival, and the deceased was appoint eda deputy sheriff when the duty called for a man of nerve and in- telligence to serve in that office.
 After two years of a ereditable record, MT. Hickey retired from the duties of that position, and upon the election of W. J. Mulvenon as sheriff, in 1884, and in 1886, MT. Hickey was retained by that official. In 1888, when Buckley O'Nein se- cured the office, again was MT. Hickey at his old post, passing through two Democratic and one Re

striking exemplifcations of his af, lection, the splendid monument to his late friend and business asso- ciate, Buckley O'Neill, that stands on the Plaza in this city, silently an swers. In other personal instances this beautiful trait in his life is also well known. In this tribute to MT. O'Neill, it may truly and con sistently be said that to the stern will and constant pleading of MT. Hickey, the erection of the monu- ment to the memory of the victims of the Spanish War was accomplish ed and the gratitude of the Terri tory shown to its patriotic citizen soldier.
 His long illness assumed a grave aspect three days ago, when he left his hotel, and retired to his home. Preceding his death, last night, there was not the least indication that he was nearing his end, and turning his head slightly to one side, he went into the long sleep without the least warning to his devoted wife and daughter, Katherine, who were at his side. He was conscious to the last and his sufferings were ended without the least struggle.
 The early life of this splendid citizen will be interesting at this time, and from data the following brief excerpts are made:
 Michael J. Hickey was born in County Clare, Ireland, on July 25th, 1853, the son of Patrick and Mary (O'Hallihan) Hickey. His parents came to this country while he was still young, and located in New York. At the breaking out of the Civil War, his mother returned to her na- tive country. MT. Hickey, his father, remained, and enlisted in the cause of the Union, with the famous 69th New York Volunteers, being one of the few of that regiment who re- turned alive. They were the parents of eight children.
 Shortly after her return to Ire land, Mrs. Hickey, mother of the deceased, passed away.
 While a mere boy, MT. Hickey

publican administration, or eight years in all.
 During his career as an officer of the county, NJ. J. Hickey was re- garded as one of the most determ- ined and yet one of the kindliest of men. On several occasions his sa- gaeity triumphed over force, and in the specific case of Sisto Lueero, whom he captured in a long and fierce struggle, his kindness of heart was shown when the bandit could have been shot down and killed. In this fierce combat, MT. Hickey proved his fearlessness ip the most trying of position. In many other rela- tions with the criminal element he was also regarded as one of the bravest men in the Southwest, and never wavered in many trying du- ties. His official life was also with out stain and he received the nom- ination later from his party for the office of sheriff, but was defeated.
 During MT. Hiekey's career as an officer, he realized the possibilities of the hotel business, and in 1888 he started what later was the Hotel Burke, the finest hostelry of its day, in the Southwest. This business he continued to follow, and at the time of his death owned a half-interest in the present Hotel St. Michael, which title was goven to eommemor. ate his first business venture in the same line, and which succeeded the Hotel Burke. In other lines MT. Hickey was also strong supporter of the industrial life of the country, owning several mines and engaging in a quiet manner in other pursuits.
 On Thangsgiving Day, November, 1887, he was married to Miss Cath erine Wall, in Prescott, Arizona, from which union two children have come, the Misses Mary J. and Cath erine Hickey, who, with his wife, survive.
 No announcement has been made of the date of the funeral. The de- ceased was a member of the Wood men, the Elks and other fraternal organizations.

 Death finally triumphs, and NJ. J Hickey, one of the stalwart pioneers and one of Arizona s most exemplary citizens, aswered tine summons from the unknown, last night, after a re- markable struggle lasting over two years. The announcement of the end of the earthly career of this good man, came as shock to his friends, who are legion, and the many ex- pressions of sorrow over his death caused a gloom that is universal. His long struggle to overcome the inevitable fate that awaited him, his loyalty to the country of his adoption, his public spirit in any and all things for the advancement of the country, his genial disposition and upright business relations with all, and his constant devotion to home and family, gave him a regard of the purest and highest.
 The loss of this man is a severe one to the community, for no mat ter how small Or how large the duty of citizenship demanded, MT. Hickey was the first to advance with a ib- erality that was eommendable, and the last to turn a deaf ear to any good movement for the welfare of the community or the comfort of the individual. This characteristic was strong in his long life in Arizona, and from the first day that he set foot on the soil of the mines of Tombstone, to his last on earth, COW ering thirty-one years of life with out a blemish, his business and of feial record is the best answer.
 His death was due to that illness that has seized so many who have followed mining life underground, and from his arduous duties when a young and vigorous man, his mag nifcent frame was shattered, and he left the mine for the more desirable pursuit of business and official life.
 A strong and pleasing character istie of this man was his devotion to friends, and from one of many

GRAND MOUNTAIN
 NOW COPPER PRODUCER
CFrom Sundays paiIy)


 F. L. Dwight, general manager of the Grand Mountain Mining company, near MeCabe, while in the city yes terday, en route to Los Angeles, on mining business, made the important statement that on the 100 foot level of his property the meteorological con dition had changed, and a grade of copper bearing ore cut into that samples nearly five and one-half per cent. The gold and silver values are still in existence and show no de- crease from former assays. He is much pleased over the new strike, and States that during the present month over 12O feet of drifting has been accomplished. He is also sur prised over the development of the copper showing, this being the first time in the history of the belt that the red metal has been found in paying qudhtAtAeo. Ahe heAH "HAS this mineral was cut into is stronger than at any point opened in the mine.
 Shipments are being made to the shelter at Needles. In a few days car load of the ore from the late discovery will be shipped to make definite determinations of the snip ments to follow. The discovery of the copper bearing ore in that dis district has Oeeasioned considerable comment, from the fact that in all the years of operating, and espeei- ally on the old Silver Belt mine, the white metal was the principal output.

DEMOCRATS WILL .AsSEM-
 BILE ON AUGUST 16TH
(From Sundays Daily.)

The waning interest in the Democ- raey of Yavapai county was shown yesterday, when only ten members of the County Central Committee assem- bled in response to 8 published call for a meeting, out of a membership of about a hundred. The faithful present represented the "old guard, !" with one or two exceptions, and the proceedings were as eolorless as water and as insipid as buttermilk.
 John H. Robinson, chairman of the County Central Committee, called the meeting to order when a lonesome eight were present to answer the roll-call by Secretary Geo. D. Morris. Two more drifted in, and then, after some desultory discussion, it was de- cided to hold the primary election on August l2 and the convention on August 16. No action was taken on the proposition of fusion and the matter was dropped with the tacit understanding that it should be handled by the county convention. The big row stirred up last week by Ashurst and the progressive wing of the party, at the meeting of the Territorial Central Committee, has evidently had a salutary effect.
 The members present, besides the officers, were, Reese NJ. Ling, J. J. Hawkins, J. P. Dillon, Mike Burns of Prescott, c. J. Kimball and M. G. Cunnif, Crown King, and A. A. Moore, Walnut Grove, and Frank Dickerson, Seligman.

The deceased was en route to Mohave and Yavapai counties from Search light, and the supposition is that hs perished from want of water during the excessive heat of the past two weeks.
