DEATH OF AN OLD TIMER

Monday J. J. Enright, of Loomis,
was brought over to the Oroville Cen
eral hospital in most precarious
condition, as he had been very i'll for
some months, and during the past
few weeks showed symptoms of sink
ing rapidly. Drs. Beale and Elmer
examined the patient, and pronounced
the case hopeless. The patient con-
tinued sinking and died Wednesday
night. The remains have been taken
to Loomis where the funeral will be
held.
Jas. Enright was one of the Oldest
residents of Loomis. locating in that
place in 1888. He has stuck to the
old camp through thick and thin. He
spent many of his years prospecting,
and at one time owned the Grand
Summit claims, on the top of Palmer
mountain, from which was taken some
of the choicest free gold specimens
that have ever been seen in that dis
trict. OF late years Mr. Enright has
not prowled through the hills hunt
ing for hidden treasures owing to adj
vanced years and lameness caused
from a serious accident he met with
some years ago. The deceased has NO
relatives in the west He was 69

UNFORTUNATE BREWSTER

About 3 o'clock Saturday morning
fire broke out in the Bassett garage, at
Brewster, and before the flames were
extinguished, or had consumed all
within reach, the principal business
part of the old river town was in
ashes. The building in which the fire
originated is down the street only Il
short distance from that well known
land mark, the Gamble hotel. From
the garage the fire leaped across the
street and ignited a block of inflam-
mable wooden buildings which burned
like powder. Among the houses burn
ed were the Coy hardware store, the
opera house, Smith & Sawyer's pool
hall, the Club pool hall, the Fern
hotel and Gillespie & Sons general
merchandise store. The loss is prob
ably between $4,000 and 100000, with
only partial insurance. The Brews-
ter fire protection system is not ade-
ouate to cope with fire of tn 1t mag
nitude. and. anyhow, the heat was so
great from the frame structures thar
II was impossible to get near enough
TO the burning buildings with a line
of hose to do any good. This is D
hard blow to Brewster, following sew
eral other fires that have occurred IN
that place recently. 1t is doubtful II

at least not at the present time.

DOING HIS BIT

p. M. Snder received letter from
l. L. Work, dated from New York
June II, in which he stated that he
expected to sail the latter part of that
week for France, where he would be
connected with the Y. NJ. c. A. activi-
ties at the front as assistant secre-
tary. Mr. Work was delighted with
his appointment and the opportunity
to aid in the world war, or at least
contribute to the we'll being of those
boys who are giving of their all to
save the country from German domin-
alton. He says that with a large
class he had to put in some ten days
at Princeton college going through a
preparatory course. Mr.. Work had
been studying French for some time
in anticipation of securing a position
in the Y M. G. A. organization for duty
abroad so that the grind at college
was not so severe on him. Mr.. Work
is past so years of age, which is the
limit age at which applicants for posi-
tions VIII be accepted, but after mum
erous refusals he convinced those in
authority that he was capable both
mentally and physically and when the
test comes he will be found equal to
any of the younger men in the service.

White could not fill the date an | Pri
vate j. Robinson, of Calgary, a wreck

Robinson does not pretend to be n

terrible in war that had come under
his observation. He is an object

of !his country what they must expect
to see when our own boys return shat

his right leg just above the knee and
had several of the toes of his left
foot cut off. Possibly the most har-
rowing story that he told as his own
experience was that while he laid
wounded on the field a squad of Ger

of the prisoners seized a gun lying on

him, the point grazing his chin lcav-

AN ANCIENT OPERATOR

We had the pleasure of call, Fri
bridgeport, Conn, who, accompanied
by his wife, is spending the summer
on Mineral Hill near COncOnully,
with frequent excursions to Tonasket
to visit with their son, Fred May,
cashier of the state bank at that
place. DR.. May is no stranger in
northern Okanogan county. His visits
during the past score of years have
been at irregular intervals, and his
stays of varied duration Years ago,
when the doctor was much younger
and far more vigorous than he is to-
day, he became interested in group
of mining claims on Mineral Hill, and
during the years that have elapsed
since the Inauguration of that venture
he has spent many, many thousands
of dollars in the development of the
property Much of the money so in
vested has been his individual means,
freely spent backing his own judg-
ment, and hence his operations have
been wholly legitimate. He has been
SUSldlHeu ny nope Ol ulllildtely MAN
ing the mine a producer. as there are
large deposits Of ore, carrying en-
couraging values, uncovered on the
claims at considerable depth, but re-
moteness from transportation has
been a serious handicap At present
DR.. May is negotiating for the trans
fer of the property, consummation
that would relieve him of burden
that would have broken down a less
optimistic and energetic man long
ago DR.. May has always conducted
mining operations in this country
strictly on the square, which was
only to be expected, as he is gentle
man of unquestioned probity and in
tegrity. He has won the respect, good
will and confidence of all with whom
he has come in contact by his gentle
and genial disposition, his honorable
dealings, his natural courtesy. Our
acquaintance with the doctor has eX-
tended over twenty years, and we have
never met more thorough and like
able gentleman. May he succeed in
the mission that brought him to the
far west. to be followed by many
more years of a peaceful and useful
life, is the wish Of the Gazette.
