With the death of Martin Coppo,
and the serious injury of three others
connected with the Phoenix White
Sox team that played here the Fourth
of July, cloud was cast over an other
wise enjoyable day.
The unfortunate accident that re-
suited in Coppo's death was unavoid-

Gates was called into consultation as
TO the methods to be followed in de-
veloping the great ore bodies here. The
result of his recommendation was
such that he was placed in charge here
to carry out the development program
and when that stage had been passed
and the actual mining of ore began
he was made general manager Of the
Ray Consolidated Copper company, in
charge of the mines here and the mill
at Hayden. Some years ago he was
further honOred by being elected a
director of the company.

Endowed with a charming personality
which has made every Rayite her loyal
friend, Mrs. Gates during her resi-
dence here has endeared herself to the
people of this district in a thousand
different ways. In Red Cross work,
and in the various organizations of
the women of the community, both for
war work and community improve
ment, Mrs. Gates has played an indis-
pensable part. In a modest way sne
has accomplished a great deal, not
only by way of achieving the splendid
record made by Ray throughout the
war, but into the social life of the
community, she has brought the added
charm of lovely personality.

w. s. Boyd, superintendent of mines
for the Ray Consolidated will act as
manager of the mines and mill of that
company here and at Hayden, succeed
ing L. s. Gates, who is leaving August
1st to become assistant general man
ager of the Utah Copper company.
Mr.. Boyd, the new manager, is pre-
eminently fitted by years of practical
experience in mining for the new posi-
ton which he is about to assume. A
native of Australia, Mr.. Boyd was edu-
Gated at one of the leading universi-
ties of that continent, graduating in
1899. Following his technical train
ing, he engaged in mining, and was
for five years employed at the famous
Broken Hill gold mine in Australia.
1t was here that he obtained that
wealth of experience which was to fit
him for larger positions and respon-
sibilities later in life, for he worked
at every conceivable job connected
with the work of mining. He was, in
turn, a common helper, q mucker,
timberman, and he became so well
acquainted with everyone about the
great Broken Hill mine that he was
able to call every man employed there
by his first name.
1t was during those years in Ans
tralia that Mr. Boyd acquired that
keen insight into the miners view
point that enabled him to successfully
carry on the responsible positions that
came to him later on. He learned
there to look at things from the min
ers standpoint as well as that of the
engineer.
Realizing that the opportunities for
advancement in Australia were some.
what limited, and that he might have
to wait years for the position ahead
Of him, Mr.. Boyd left Australia, and,
after spending a year in England and
on the continent, came to America.
His first job in this country was that
OF timekeeper for the Boston Consoli-
dated, in Bingham canyon, Utah, un
der l.. S. Gates, who was at, that time
general manager of that company. 1t
Gn+
there was something unusual about
the new timekeeper. 1t developed
that he was one of those men who are
always getting through with their
work and seeking to make themselves
useful in some other way, rather than
spending the extra time in lOafing.
Boyd complained that he didn't have
enough work to keep him busy, that
he could do all that his job required
him to do in half shift. SO he was
assigned to work half shift in the
assay office in addition to his work
as timekeeper.
When a rodman was needed, and
later an engineer, Boyd was the man
who stepped forward and said he be-
lieved he could take the job. Later
when Mr.. Gates came to Ray as gen.
eral manager Of the Ray Consolidated,
one of the first things he did was to
send for Mr. Boyd and put him in
charge here as superintendent OF
mines, later promoting him to the
position of assistant general manager.
Mr. Boyd, who is Al years of age,
has been a resident of Ray for the
past eight or ten years, and is one of
the best-liked men in the entire camp.
AS a member of the board of COVER
nors of the Ray Con. club he has al
ways taken an active part in the af-
fairs of that organization, and his ap-
p0intment to manage affairs here is
received generally with great ap-
prevail Mr.. Boyd will assume his new
duties on August l.

have been bettered, schools have been

Not only has Mr.. Gates during his
residence in Ray taken a keen anc
lively interest in civic affairs, and in
the improvement of the community,
but he has also at the same time main
tanned his high standing in his profess
sion as a mining engineer, being rated
and operators in the country. He is

Of the American Mining Congress, and
member of the board of directors of

er for the same company. In the in
terim since he first held that position
he has climbed the ladder of success
round by. round until today he goes
to fill one of the most important posi-
tions in the entire metal mining field
Mr.. Gates was born in Boston and
was educated at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, graduating
from the school in 1902 The splen-
did qualities of leadership and eXecu-
tive ability which have made him 4
man among men in the west were evil
dent early in his life. AS junior he
was a marshal, and as a senior at Bos-
ton Tech, Gates was president of his
class
After concluding his work at Boston
Tech, Mr.. Gates went to Parral, MeNi-
CO, where he remained year, later
re turning to Boston for another year S
study, when he qualified as a consult
ing engineer He was then sent to
Bingham canyon, Utah, by the Boston
Consolidated interests, his work there
covering a range from shift boss and
mine superintendent up to general
manager of the company, during his
two years in that field.
Although the Jackling interests and
the Boston Consolidated were any
thing but friendly at that time, Col
! D. C. Jackling recognized in MT
Gates the qualities of splendid exec
