of his father, the matter of taking
care of the home fell upon him
and his mother, but, like the true
son he was, he took the RESPONSE

went about his duties with heroic
effort. Sacrificing whatever per-

he worked for mother, brother

consisted Of thessreading of a short
sketch of her life by W. L.iSmith,
then followed an address by
Prof. sWeakley,', of Sunny Hill
High School. which was appreci-
ated by the audience. Then fol-
lowed the spreading of a nice
and bountiful supply of food on a
llong table prepared for the pur-
pose by the grown ladies, when
all were invited to partake and
did eat till satisfied then plenty
was left on the table, notwith.
standing the hard times SO much
complained of. This proves
what cooperation will do. Next
the different Sbasket ball teams
with the crowd following went to
the ball game which was en-.
.ljoyed by all. Altogether the
affair was a brilliant success.

Mining men of Arizona and particu. larly those of Yavapai county are pleased that Benjamin B. Thayer was elected president of the American In. stitute Mining Engineer. at it's recent meeting.
 Another Arizonan in Sidney J. Jenn- ings, was elected vice president of this association, and to make the trinity a harmonious one, Will A Clark, of the United Verde Copper Co. received notification a few days ago from President Thayer of his ap- pointment to the committee on mining laws to serve for the ensuing year. MT. Clark has accepted and will endeavor to attend the summer meeting Of the institute that will doubtless be held, as usual, at some point in the west.
 President Thayer is well and popu' larly known in this mining field and while a mining engineer in the employ of Haggin and Hearst, was frequent visitor to the state. making Prescott his base O foperations. He was born in San Francisco in 1862. and gradu' ated from the Lawrence Scientihic School of Harvard in 1885. On leaving school the call of the west drove him into mining in the Rocky mountains and the Sierra Madras of Mexico. For a number of years he has been presi' dent O fthe Anaconda Copper Mining Company of Montana. He appreciates what good team work means to an organization, and has injected into his great company a loyalty and an efi eieuyc that are exceptional.
