The Passing of the Rocky Mountain Club
fEngineering and Mining Journal)


 last roundup of members and guests of members of the Rocky Mountain Club took place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel New York on April IL The Junction. thanks to the organizing abl- ito and enthusiasm of the secretary, MT. HerDert Wall was most successful. Moreover, 1t was unique being at one and the same time twenty first anniversary and wake.
 Despite the high spirits in evidence at the gathering, it was impossible to down sense of disappointment The passing of the club, in itself is perhaps of little consequence, but it was not a pleasant thought to realize that the curtain was to be rung down on opportunity for the commingling of Western men. MT Cornelius F. Kelley sensed this aspect of the matter Tn his speech and among many of his listeners nothing but regret could arise from knowledge of the fact the Rocky Mountain Club was to lose it's Individuality and scope for service In these days much depends good fellowship and personal contact We recall to mind address by distinguished mining engineer in Los An geles few years ago. Speaking to a large gathering, he said: "I wish l knew you all personally, and intimately"
 The Rocky Mountain Club was no grouping of mediocrities. It's President MT John Hays Hammond is a link with one of the greatest mining developments in the history of the world. to mind the fact that he was one of the leaders of the reform movement in the Transvaal, 1885 96. and that after the Jameson raid he was sen fenced to death
 It is inspiritng to come into personal contact with, and keep fresh the achievements of, those adventurous spirits who, in this country, have had much to do with the development of Western mining, and, in consequence, national progress. With touch of sadness, one must accept the fact that the last gathering of the members of the Rocky Mountain Club has been held.

The Last Commander.
(New York Times.)

There few, diminishing few old men in every part of the United States who may gaze mournfully into old cedar chests today at a faded gray jacket and think of the glorious past For news has of the death of the last survv ing general officer of the Confederacy( Felix Robertson of Crawford, Texas.) In few wars are leutenants raised to commanding rank, especially in wars of only four years duration. Any young man so distinguished in the Confederate service was, we may be sure, man indeed.
 General Robertson less than 90 when he died-he was born in 1S39-and he youth of 20 when he left the senior class at West Point and entered service under the Stars and Bars By dint of great military ability and courage he was promoted sueeessiyely by the most of Lees dseplnarians: Albert Sidney Johnston, "the cavalier of the South; Beauregard Bragg and Hood. His service ended under Little Joe" Wheeler of Alabama, that dashing commander who lived to under the old flag again in the Spanish-Ameriean War.
