JAMES SHERIDAN
Well Known Man Passes in
Duluth Saturday

James Sheridan, locally known
as Jim" Sheridan by which name
he was Familiarity called by his
large number of friends on the
ranges and in Duluth, died at St.
Mary's hospital in Duluth Satur-
day evening at E o'clock. His
death followed an operation which
was performed as measure to pro-
long his life. Mr.. Sheridan had
been suffering for several days in
his rooms in the Sherwood block.
Friends had urged him to go to a
hospital but he thought it unneces-
sary. Saturday Chas. d'Autre-
mont, one of Mr.. Sheridan's close
friends insisted that he go, and
took him to the hospital himself.
The condition of the patient was
found to be such that an operation
must be resorted to at once, with
the slender chance that he might
survive.
Jim" Sheridan was a man in
every sense of the word. He
numbered as friend all who came
in contact with him. The news of
his demise was received with
genuine regret. In the early days
of Ely he made his home here. He
discovered the ore in the Chandler
mine and was one of the factors in
the opening of this property.
Mr.. Sheridan was born in Illinois
90 years ago, and served three
years in the volunteer infantry of a
regiment of that state in the civil
war, where he fought with distinc-
ton. 1t is a matter of record that
during an action at the seige of
Petersburg, he scaled the intrench-
ments under a CALLING fire to rescue
his wounded terminate, and that the
Confederate troops recognizing his
bravery, ceased firing when they
saw what he was doing.
Mr.. Sheridan went from Illinois
to Michigan, after the war, where
he became interested in pine lands,
and where he was an explorer for
mineral for some years. In 1879
he for the first time visited Mime
sofa. He came to investigate the
Vermilion range. Later he dis
covered the Chandler iron mine at
Ely, famous producer of high
grade ore, and still later he located
mines on the Mssaba range. He
was one of the earliest explorers on
both the Vermilion and the Mesaba,
and was one of the best known
men in this line in the state. The
Sheridan property on the Mesaba
range, which is now controlled by
the Oliver Iron Mining company,
was one of his discoveries in that
field.
During the past Is years Mr..
Sheridan spent his winters in
Mexico making his headquarters at
Hermosillo, and he was interested
in that country at the time of his
death. He is survived by brother
in Chicago and a married sister in
Illinois.
The funeral took place in Duluth
Tuesday. The pail bearers were
chosen from the Sons of Veterans
organization. The honorary pail
bearers were: R. B. Whiteside,
Jas. Bale, Richard Shell, Edward
Miller, Thos. F. Cole, w. w.
Billson, Judge J. D. Ensign and
DR.. c. F. McComb.
1t was rather a coincidence that
James Sheridan and Capt. John
Donovan should die at about the
same time, as they had been close
friends for many years. Mr..
Sheridan passed away the day of
the funeral of Captain Donovan,
and both died at the same hospital.
