L. F. Quinn, one of the wealth.
lest men in Poplar Bluff and a res
ident of this city for many years,
was operated on yesterday at the
Mullanphy hospital in st. Louis.
His wife reported to the children
at home that he stood the opera
ton nicely and there was every
reason to hope for his speedy con-
~valesence. He had been suffering
for many months from a malady
which threatened his life. He first
went to Texas for his health,
which was not improved by the
change, and he returned home to
remain only a few days. Then he
went to the st. Louis hospital and
surgeons announced that an OPP
eration was necessary. Postpone
ment of the time on which the
knife was to be used was occa-
stoned several times because of
the patients weakness, but he
finally gained sufficient strength
to submit to the operation yester-
day. His family was rejoicing
here to-day because of the prom
Use of early restoration to health
of Mr.. Quinn.-PopIar Bluff Citizen.
An event of more than passing
interest in mining circles in this
county is the retirement of Mr.. F.
P. Graves from the superintendent
cy of the Doe Run Lead Company
and the selection of Mr.. O. M.
Bilharz as his successor. An
nouncement of this change was
officially made by the company
several days ago, it being stated
that Mr.. Graves will in the future
continue his work as secretary of
the company, looking after it's
financial and banking business
while Mr.. Bilharz Will have full
charge of all the company's mines
and plants. Mr.. Graves retires
from active managerial work after
spending a lifetime of service in
that capacity, covering a period
that marks the whole development
of the lead industry in st. Fran
co.'s county from its PIONEER days.
He is one of the men whose labor
have been responsible for the
county's development, and it is
not too much to say that no man
has done more to build up the
lead mining business and make
this county great. Mr.. Bilharz
will prove a worthy successor to
Mr.. Graves. He is eminently
qualified, having a complete
knowledge Of all the company's
operations and being thoroughly
familiar with conditions. His long
service with the company as min
ing engineer, and acquaintance
with the people, will stand him
well in hand in assuming addi-
tional duties and responsibilities.
