CHARLES swEENY Is DEAD.
Mining Man Passed Away at Portland
Nav 3O-Has Interests in Hump Mines.

Portland, May 30.-Charles Sweeny,
retired mining capitalist, died at 3:45
clock this morning at the Portland
surgical hospital. Mr.. Sweeny has been
in failing health for a year, and re
Gently experienced a paralytic stroke.
The remains will be taken tomorrow to
Spokane, where interment will occur.
Mr.. Sweeny was sc years old and was
born in New York City.
He served in the Civil war as a boy
of Is and went to California in 1867.
He mined in that state and in Nevada,
later was with the Knapp-Burrel Hard
ware company of Portland and in 1888
opened a general store in Spokane,
which he conducted until the Occur d ,
Alene mining excitement. He then
opened a store at Wardner, later be-
coming associated in the Last Chance
mine, to still later become one of the
largest owners of property in that dis
trict. He organized the Federal COM
pany, was at its head for period, and
prior to that time was involved in ex-
tensive litigation over mining property.
Upon retiring from active mine opera
ton he invested heavily in Portland
and Spokane real estate, and main
tanned offices in New York. No esti-
mate is available at this time as to the
extent of his estate.
Mr.. Sweeny Well Known Here.
Charles Sweeny was well known in
Lewiston and in the central Idaho
mining country. While he never be-
came permaent operator in the inter
ior mining camps, he was conspicuous
in this field during the Buffalo Hump
excitement in Idaho county, having &C
quired the original discovery there
the Big Buffalo mine-as well as other
prcpei ties which he retained to the time
of his death. At the time of the Buffa
10 Hump activities he made frequent
trips to Lewiston and to Grangeville.
In securing the Buffalo Hump mine, he
outbid some of the most prominent
mining interests of the United States
as well as English syndicates. The ore
body had not been opened except on the
surface when Mr. Sweeny paid over
100000 for the property, and he then
spent perhaps $4,000 more installing
a plant and carrying on some develop
ment work. In the milling operations
he sank 210 feet on the vein and then
shut down, allowing the SHAFT to I'LL
with water. He stated the ore wouldn It
pay, and maintained that position
whenever the subject was later breach
ed to him. Many mining men have
contended that further development of
the Big Buffalo was warranted. Ghe
incident as to the Big Buffalo illus
trates the definiteness with which Mr..
Sweeny pursued his plans when once
he had formed an opinion. After
abandoning operations at the Big
Buffalo, he later acquired patent title
to many claims in the district which
he had acquired during the rush, but
he never spent a dollar in developing
them beyond the point necessary to Sc
cure patent. There as view in some
quarters that ultimately these pro-
perties will be opened up, with con-
fidence also that some good mines will
result.

HONOR TO HEROES DEAD ANT
j LIVING TUESDAY.

suggestion electrified united nation
To be sure there were skeptical ones
who said that this would merely en-
nance the estrangement. For as a
noted American of the South said
"When you people of the North whip.
ped us, you did not conquer us; we were
more bitter after the war than during
it. But Sir, when our southland was
swept by the scourage of yellow fever,
and the dead wagon went daily thru the
streets of my city of Memphis, and
even now | feel the agony as | recall
that awful hourse cry, Bring out your
dead Then your northern cities of
New York, Boston, Chicago and others
as fast as communications were possible
sent the message, Unbounded sym.
pathy-call ON us for unlimited $1,000 S
as you may need Then sir you con-
quered us!
Yes, we are all conquered now, North
and South. The North by southern
courtesy and Christlike forgiveness; the
South by practical loving kindness and
true fraternity.
So this 30th day of May, recurring
thus for 81 times, each time finding us
more sympathetic and genuinely Ameri.
can, we meet to give honor to our sacri-
fetal dead. Thus North and South
alike, the silent cities of the dead are
strangely animated, and hearts beat in
unison as the people think about those
who are,
"Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Grey
Battle fields are replete with exam
Piles of most conspicuous self-sacrifice
and heroism. Most men under such
circumstances aquit themselves with
credit. OF the 100000 men in action
in the Civil War, not more than a score
were charged with cowardice.
Not only upon battle fields are the
essentials of heroism found. For hero
ism includes something higher and
nobler than fighting. Heroism endures
hardships and suffers as resolutely as
it braves dangers; and endurance is i'm
measurably greater than daring. Hero
ism is selfrenunciation for noble ends
Heroism comes into the lives of men
and women in every day life in an as.
tonishing degree, but because of its
commonplace setting; because of lack
of dramatic interest we fail to appre-
ciate it. How instantly and unflinch-
ingly ready woman is to shoulder the
severest burdens-how cheerfully she
specifically suffers. All yes, "lest we
forget let us now drop tear for the
heroes of heroes, the unheralded heroes
of daily toll and self sacrificing en-
durance and suffering, the heroes of
PEACE.
We come to pay homage to our sacred
dead, because we need the sanctifying
influences of their memory. For as
Gladstone said: "Show me the manner
in which nation or community cares
for its dead, and I will measure with
mathematical exactness the tender SYM
pathies of its people, their respect for
the law, and their loyalty to high
ideals -
