 Representative Tansy, aged 54, was born December go. 1860, in Luzerne County. Pennsylvania, of Irish par ents. His early life was spent in and near his birthplace. which is in the heart of the anthracite coal fields of the Keystone State. While a boy he worked in ihe mines and in addition to training in the public schools Young Tansy studied nights. His enthusiasm having been fired by the golden tales which emanated from the Ear West, Young Tansy became determined to become a miner of that precious met al. When he was IS years old Tom Tansy went West, locating in the San Juan mining district of Colorado. For four years he worked in the mines there. and between shifts he read books and articles on assaying. For the purpose of gaining a deeper know ledge Of the science of gold, Repre- sentative Tansy went to Tombstone. Ariz.. and entered the Arizona school of mines. He received his sheopskin as metalurgist, in 1893. He had learned a scientific mining course dur ing his stay at college but his saw ings had gone to pay tuition. 80 he set out to make his way anew. This time Mr. Tansy had no trouble in se- curing good positions and for a year or two he travelled through New Mex leo, working in official positions in various coal and copper properties in order Go become familiar with the diff ferent phases of pracucal-mining, as he found them.
 Eventually he went back Co Colorado but in 1896. after he had made sec ond trip to New Mexico he left the Cactus state for Cooks Inlet Alaska, with three-year outfit which he pur- chased in San Francisco. For inc past nineteen years his life has been spent in this country, with tho excep- tion of two visits to the States.
 Mr. Tansy is tho present assayer for the Bonanza copper mine at Ken necott. owned by the Guggenheim in- terests. Before he assumed that im- porlant position Mir Tansy resided inl Cordoyo while the construction oi the Copper River railroad was talk ing place.
