sions Of the convention were the two
Sunday services, Mrs Shaw SUNDAY

ening bringing home to the citizens of
Gunnison the supreme Importance and
vital need for an enlarged Sunday
School program. It was brot out du-

FOUND DEAD

C. l. Boggs, q well known resident
Of Gunnison and Gunnison county for
several years, was found dead in his
little house near the Blackstock home,
Tuesday afternoon. Not seeing him
about for several days, and knowing
he had been feeling unwell, some Of
his friends became alarmed, and upon
investigation he was found dead. Mr..
Boggs had evidently died of heart
trouble, Us there was no sign of b
struggle, and it was not thought nee
essary to hold an inquest. His body
had apparently lain for some two
days.
Mr.. Boggs, altho having resided in
and about Gunnison for many years,
told very little about himself and we
are unable to secure any definite in
formation concerning him. 1t seems,
though, he left his home in Pennsyl-
vania a great many years ago and
came west, and as far as can be found
out, he never corresponded with his
folks. 1t is believed that he is a
relative of a very wealthy family in
Pennsylvania.
Something over year ago fugi-
tive item from an eastern newspaper
telling of the death of a merchant
prince Of Pittsburg by this name,
man who left several millions to rela-
tives, was brought to Mr.. Boggs' at
tcntion and he told number here that
the man was his uncle and that he
had worked in his store as young
man but became estranged from the
family and refused to inform them
of his present location.
Upon thoro search of his personal
belongings the authorities could not
find q letter or any papers of any
kind that would identify him in any
way.
Coroner Hyatt telegraphed to peo-
pie bearing the name Of Boggs telling
than of the death Of C. L. Boggs, but
the answer said they knew nothing Of
the man.
Undertaken Adams is holding the
body for further instruction.
G. L. Boggs was well educated,
kindly gentleman. In pursuing his
business Of painter and decorator, a
trade In wlish he excelled,he became
acquainted with most of our citizens,
and all report him as widely read,
courteous In manner and always
pleasant and jovial. There are regrets
heard on every hand, especially that
man SO well known and well liked,
should have died alone with no help
ing hand to aid his last hours.

AGED MINER
DIES At 50

John Clark, a well known pioneer
of Gunmson county, who has beer
taken care Of for the past seven years
by Mrs. Marion Bates at the county
hospital, died Sunday evening ut he
age of 80 years. The old gentleman
suffered an attack of flu last FebYu-
ary and since that time has issisa
bedfast.
John Clark was born in Alleg-
heny county, New York, March 3rd
1884. He married and lived in that
state for number of years. His
xyife and daughters died sixty-fouf
years ago, and he left and came
west to prospect in the mines. He
also served in the Civil War, but lost
his papers in a fire back East and
was unable to secure a pension.
He came to Tin Cup in 1879 and
prospected thru Gunnison county for
a number Of years. Mr.. Clark did
much to develop the natural resources
of this state, and he was well and
favorably known by anumber of old
tire Gunnison citizens.
At one time he SOLD some mining.
property for $65,0OO and he put
most Of the principal back into devel-
oping more mining property. Even
in the last few years he had dreams
that maybe some day he would be able
to regain q small part of the money
he spent in mining for gold in this
state.
With the late John Gordon of our
city, he went into the Black Hills be-
fore the government opened up that
country, and was among those who
made the gold discoveries that COM
PEELED the federal authorities to let
in the prOspectors. After the sale of
his mining property. Mr.. Clark trav-
eled q great deal. even to distant
places of the world. He had a very
keen mind and retained his mental
facilities until the last.
In his pride and belief in the min
ing country around Tin Cup where
he owned property. MIR. Clark left o
will to the effect that when these mines
should pan out, the county should
first be reimbursed for the care of
him in his old age.
A. F. Hay of this city. was a par
ticular friend and partner in some
of his mining enterprises and took
charge of the funeral arrangements.
Funeral services were conducted on
Tuesday afternoon from the Adams
Undertaking parlors, Rev. VIM. L.
Jones officiating. As a veteran of
the Civil War, the Woman's Relief
Corps brought flags for his grave and
the American Legion gave flowers.

London, Aug. 17.-The.apparent i'm
minence of recognition by the United
States of the Obregon administration
in Mexico has aroused considerable
interest in British official circles
charged with dealing with Mexican af-
fairs. 1t has been brought home the
desirability of the establishment of an
Anglo-Mexican arbitration commission
to settle the differences between this
country and Mexico and move toward
organization of such commission will
probably be made in the near future.
At present the British are doing
virtually nothing toward settlement in
the Mexican question.
One attempt at arbitration OF the
differences having failed because Mex
leo desired formal recognition prior to
discussion of the issues. Now that
the United States is taking steps for
resumption of diplomatic RELATE rs with
her southern neighbor. however, it is
expected that no further difficulties
will stand in the way of mutually

of being inside the producing area.

about two miles from the producing

The No. 1 Branyon has been spout

drillers reported that the well was
