We regret to hear and all will
regret with us, that Capt Harry
Thomas of the Clark and Chisholm
mines has resigned and will seek
"other fields and pastures new"
1t is reported that he is to reside
at Hibbing and take charge of Jos.
Sellwood's mining properties on the
range, and another that he is to
take charge of the Pierce mine to
be opened. Whatever he does and
wherever he goes the genial captain
will have the best wishes of the
people here for his continued sue
cess. He has been intimately con-
nected with the upbuilding of the
two mines, the Clark and the CHS
holm, and was a prominent factor
in their successful growth. He is
thoroughly competent man in the
mining business, having BE- n
associated with it from his youth,
and knows it from alpha to omega.
He is whole souled genial gentle
man, friend to everybody and
everybody's friend. 1t is hoped
that he will not find it necessary to
leave US and. that we still will be
able to retain him as a citizen.
