PIONEER MINING MAN
SUMMONED BY DEATH
John A. Kirby, Long a Resi-
dent of Salt Lake, Is Tu-
berculosis Victim.

John A. Kirby, one of the pioneer
mining men of Utah and Nevada and
a prominent citizen Of Salt Lake for
many years, died at the age Of SO
years early yesterday morning at the
home Of his father, Isaac B. Kirby, of
Providence, r. l., his afflicton having
been tuberculosis.
About three months ago Mr.. Kirby
went east to avail himself of the Fried
mann cure for his ailment, which he
contracted in the mines and from
which he had been sufferer for sew
eral years. For time of late it was
thought that he was improving in
health, but he suddenly grew worse IN
condition until the end came yester-
day.
Mr. Kirby was one of the most prom
inent mining engineers in the west,
having been superintendent Of the old
Bullion-Beck mine at Eureka, Utah; also
of the DalyWest mine at Park City,
and Of the Montana-Tonopah at Tono-
pah, New. Under his skillful manage
ment these properties were rendered
profitable, and are now among the re-
liable mines of the west. He was also
one of the original owners Of the Ne
vada Hills mine, being director OF
the company at the time Of his death.
He was also largely interested In
Phoebe, New, properties.
Speaking of Mr.. Kirby yesterday, j..
II. Hodson Of this city, an old personal
friend, said that he had been associated
with the distinguished mining engineer
at Fairvicw, New. Mr.. Hodson had
known him to be a man of sterling
character, of few words, but straight
forward and fair in his dealings. ''He
was one of the finest men in the
world' said Mr., Hodson, land one
whose word could be relied upon in all
things. Together we took trip about
two years ago. visiting Florida, Cuba,
Mexico and the West Indies His hope
was that the tour would benefit his
health, but it seemed that his maIady
had progressed too far TO be durable. -
Mr.. Kirby was born at Melbourne,
Australia. whittier his father and moth
er had journeyed at the time of the
opening of the now famous Australian
mines His father is Isaac E. Kirby,
who was the first deputy United States
marshal In the territory of Utah, and
who crossed the plains between here
and the Missouri river three times be-
Providence. r. t., and there is son,
Gordon T. Kirby, a graduate from the
agricultural college of Utah. who is
now on ranch at Battle Mountain,
New. Other relatives are a sister,
Mary r. Kirby, and three brothers,
Isaac. George and Henry Kirby.
Funeral services and interment will
be at Providence, r. l.. but the date
has not vet been announced. The es-
tate mostly in real estate, is valued at
approximately $250,000.

BIG CONVENTION STARTS
WITH SESSIONS TODAY
Continued from Pag. One.)

this time is of special interest TO me
that have occurred during my abb
sence. While it is true that | was
here six years ago, 1t was for q day
only, so that l had little opportunity
TO cast about the city and see what
was going on.
The progress of which I have seen
evidences in the hours that have
passed since my arrival this time is
veritably mira culous. The new and
splendid structures that have been
upreared since I lived here are
credit TO this entire intermountain
country. and certainly the paving ex-
tensions. making Of the broad streets
the most superb bouleyards in the
world, constitute an improvement of
magnlfcence.
My chief anticipation a this time
is OF the pleasure that / shall expert
ence in meeting my old friends OF
Salt Lake. While my interest in the
great national convention which will
open here tomorrow is strong, ii is
natural that the prospect OF meeting
and talking with old friends who
worked with me in behalf OF the be-
ginning OF the present hish-srade
public school system OF Salt Lake
should hold a good share Of my at
tentou and thought. Among these
are remembered with greatest cs-
teem William Nelson, Farley L. Will
liams and other members OF the city

existence in 1890 and al whose hands

it was glorious Fourth that came
TO Salt Lake yesterday, That is, the
weather was fine. 1t was a perfectly
orderly Fourth-a city"ordinance-re-
spccting Fourth. In town it was about
as hilarious as Il lamppost, the greatest
gushcs of patriotism finding vent at the
out.of-town pleasure resorts, and the
near r-out -of-town fair grounds.
Along the city streets could be seen
big men carrying little souvenir canes
attached to pretty pennants, or gaily eS-
hibitiug toy balloons in red and blue
Where the old cannon firecreacker or
the Chinese rattan bomb once belched
forth roars of appreciation of what the
declaration OF independence did for the
country was heard the gentle ''spat'
OF the windy little popsun.
Soft Pedal Fourth.
In fact, the glorious Fourth was not
here with bells, but it slipped in
and sneaked out with the soft pedal
working overtime. 1t was Fourth so
tame that it appeared to be ready to
eat out Of the hand Of a cruel fate that
has thrust it into the whispering class.
The flapping flags and bunting hung in
the streets made little noise, but vastly
more than all the populace combined
1t was a Fourth of the "peace that
passeth all understanding. Even the
bottled soda refused to pop. The trolley
motormen seemed to have mufflers on
their car gongs, as If the usual clang
might disturb the quietude of a Fourth
that came and went like somnam-
bulist,

throat, but it refused to eDthuse. Not

tried to let out mans size

into a solemn ooze, compared with
which a response from the amen cor,

been an car-sphtting roar of reckless
hilarity.
