MAN WHO FOLLOWED MINING
GAME IN WHITE PINE FOR
FORTY YEARS Is MOURNED
BY NUMEROUS FRIENDS.

Passing he left a life's work done
Never the world triumphs turned
This pilgrim till the goal he'd won.
He sought his rest when rest he's
earned.
There are people all over the
county who will be sorry to learn of
the death of Orson Hudson last Mon
day morning at the home OF his
daughter. Mrs. w W. o'Hare, and
will mourn his loss as that of a
kindly and understanding friend.
And mere words are quite made
quate TO explain the feelings of re-
gret felt by intimate associates In the
mining game OF the absence from the
ranks of colleague OF whose fine
reputation they were proud and
whose association with them had
been invariably courteous and sweet
tempered.
On the morning of his death he
was about his affairs, a quiet and
cheerful man, and the future was
one of comfortable confidence. Then
IN a sudden he fell III and before It
was quite realized that such. thing
might be possible his hold on life
relaxed and II was known that he
was dead. The sense of that swift
tragedy is still sharp and vivid.
The deceased was born in Spring
City, Utah, fifty-seven years ago. He
was among the fortune seekers that
wandered their way Into Ward dur
ing the haicyon days of 1876. He
followed placer mlnign In the osce-
ola district for many years. and at
the time of his death was the owner
of the mining properties held by the
ST. Lawrence Mining company on
Mount Washington. Exposure ana
over-exertion resulted in a physical
breakdown which eventually pro-
duced death His end was due to
bronchial asthma.
He was married In Taylor twenty
nine years ago to Miss Libby Taylor.

about sixteen years ago. Four chill

son and w. r. Hudson OF Sprin VAL
lay. The funeral was held Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock from the

ACCUSED STACKER FOUND
IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE

Carlo lombard, who registered
from East Ely, and failed to appear
when the second quota of men left
Ely for the training camp at Amer
lean Lake. Washington, has been
heard from at Fort Logan. Lombardi
was reported to the federal author
tiles as a Stacker, but news of the
fact that he had enlisted and was
now undergoing a course OF train
Ing in Colorado came as a surprise
to the local board. He will prob
ably be permitted to complete his
plans. The worst feature about cases
of this character is that vast
amount of detail work is necessary
before White Pine county can re-

II this sum is sufficients. it will be

says that 1t is still necessary for the
people of Nevada and Utah to do
their share toward making further
improvements.
Governor Bamberger has given a
pledge to Mr.. Osterman that Utah
will assist through the loan of equip
ment and road machinery.
1.-The Lincoln Highway has made
rapid strides during the year." said
MIR. Osterman. The entire routefro
Chicago to the Mississippi river VIII

this work will be in excess of one
million and half dollars.
"Ohio has made arrangements to
spend 100000 in new road improve
ments during the coming year. Other
eastern states are in complete har-
mony on the question of road inn
provements along the national high,

The Highway department in Ne
yada is facing difficulties of SER
ious nature owing to the fact that
the tax levied by the last legislature
to provide for a state highway fund
for construction purposes will not be
available for two months. The stretch
of territory to be improved in White

LOCAL THEATRES
TO RAISE PRICES

One effect of the new war taxes
will be an increase In the prices of
the local picture theatres, effective
November first, the new prices to be
fifteen cents for children and thirty
cents for adults. Under the new
prices three cents will go to the gov
ernment from every adults ticket, in
addition to which the footage tax i'm
posed upon every foot of film used
must be paid, together with other
taxes upon express, telegraph and
postage accounts.
For the last six months film rent
ais have been rapidly going upward,
and picture theatres In every city
have been forced to increase the
admission prices. Thus far the To-
cal picture theatres have made no
change, but with the war taxes added
the local managers find it impossible
to operate at the old rates OF ad-
mission.
In many of the cities, notwith-
standing their already increased
prices, the picture theatres will col
lect the admission tax from the
patron In addition to the price per
ticket: however. the local picture
theatres will collect only the price
per ticket.

PROTECTION Of
MINES IS MADE
ADMINISTRATORS BIGGANE OF
PETERSON ESTATE GIVES En-
TENSION or OPTION THAT
HEIRS MAY BIC PROTECTED.

This story has no heroine what-so-
ever and anyone who yearns for such
had far better read the weather re-
ports In the Northwest 1t deals ex-.
elusively with the efforts of John W.
Biggane, cashier of Tie First National
Bank. to protect the assets of Peter
A. Peterson. pioneer OF Hamilton.
AS administrator of the Peterson
estate, Mr.. Biggane entered into
agreement with c. L. Osterlund,
Clyde L. Tiiford, A. J. Cartwright
and Grover Tilford on November 20,
1916 for the sale Of the mineral
estate belonging to the deceased.
The purchasers, according to the
petition of the administrator had per-
formed all the covenants, except COM
plying With the requirements Of the
agreement respecting partial pay
ments.
In his petition Biggane alleged
that operations on the properties
were being conducted at loss, and
as the estate was without funds. title
to the mineral estate would pass in
to the hands of other parties.
The one ray OF hope that rendered
to bring order out of chaos was the
fact that Osterlund and his associat-
es desired an extension of time in
which to make payments.
Their proposition was brought to
the attention of the court, and as il
met with the approval of the admins
traitor, an order was issued out oi
the probate court requiring that
payment of $500 shall be made or
September l. 1918 and $25o0 on ol
before September 1, 1919. Admins
traitor Biggane felt that this actor
was just and right.
Peter Peterson was among ths
pathfinders that made their way tt
the White Pine district, when thai
community was in the throes OF
spectacular mining boom, which fol
intensity has seldom been equailec
In the west. With the decline in the
price OF silver, the aged prospector
still retained his faith in that sec
tion, although the majority Of the
old camps In that section had been
abandoned.
Possessed OF an indomitable will
Peterson never gave up hope, be-
lieving that through some sort oi
necromaney, he would at some time
achieve his cherished desire. But
that day never arrived. His lifeless
body was found about two years ago
on the claim to which he had devoted
the best part of lifetime. Such Is
fate.
