both holding valuable and contiguous

failed The matter IS now recalled

expense of patenting two claims, the

Moves to Wallace.

Coincident with the decline of gold
mines of the south side advanced
rapidly in Importance, and as a
consequence the embryo city of Wal
lace in 1887 was ambitiously
claiming to be the coming metrop-
oils of the Occur dAlenes. In the
spring of that year J. R. Marks & Co.,
of Murray, the pioneer hardware com
pany. established a branch house in
Wallace under the management of w

the opportunity to build up a great
hardware business in this city evil

came to Wallace to give his attention to
the business associated with w. w.

pany combined with the Holly Mason
Hardware company, of Spokane, un-
der the name of Holly, Mason, Marks

PASSING OF PIONEER
END OF A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS cAREER-TWO
SONS SURVIVE.

In the death of Edward H. Moffitt
in Los Angeles last week the Occur
d'Alene district loses one Of it's most
respected pioneer citizens and the city
of Wallace one OF its most successful
and substantial business men. Mr..
Moffitt was born in Pennsylvania in
ls45 and was therefore rs years OF age
when he passed away. In 1858 he
moved with his family to Illinois, ana
a few years later while still mere boy

the government and served two years.
until the close Of the civil war, in the
Second Illinois cavalry. Following his
discharge from military service he
went to Colorado and later to various
other western states, and finally in
1879 he went to the Wood river dis
trict in southern Idaho, which for sew
eral years thereafter enjoyed a great
boom through the development of rich
mines. The decline in the
price of silver in the early sos pro-
duced a most depressing effect upon
mining operations in Wood river, and
so in 1888, when the news of the dis
covery of gold on Prichard creek
started a stampede to what was des-
tined to be known as the Occur d'Alene
district, Mr.. Moffitt joint the rush. Ar
irving at Eagle his business judgment
-old him that there was more money
n supplying meat to the miners than
n digging gold, and he soon developed
prosperous business in that line,
which he continued for several years
md after Murray became the center
y population. He was associated with 1
= p. Bender who was afterwards one |
II the firm of White & Bender.

Mine Manager.

While retaining his connection with
the hardware business, Mr.. Moffitt
became associated with Finch &
Campbell in mining operations and
was successfully manager of the Stan
dard and Hecla mines, as well as gen.
orally representing Finch & Campbell
in their extensive operations. He wal
one of the large stockholders in the
Star Mining company, which recently
came into prominece through litigation
with the Federal Mining & Smelling
company over apex rights. Mr. Moi
fit also held other valuable mining
interests and was director of the First
National bank. He has long been re-
g ~ded as a man Of large means, but
no estimate is obtainable as to the
value Of his estate
Married in 1888.
In 1885 Mr. Moffitt was married to
Miss Effie j. Colburn, of lola, Kansas.
and his arrival with his bride is re-
called by old timers as one of the big .
events in the then primitive life of this /
aity. Mrs. Moffitt died several years I
lgo and was buried in Spokane, and
here beside her Mr.. Moffitt was yes
erday consigned to his final rest. Mr..
Iohfitt is survived by two sons, Rob
