DEATH SUMMONED PETER ESCH, FORMER NOMEITE
 AT HIS HOME IN CALF,

The Banning Herald, of Bann- ing, California, had the following to say regarding the death of Peter Esch, former Nome mining man and assayer, who was one of the early gold rush sta1npeders in 1900:
 Peter Esch, aged 79, answered the final summons at the Airing ton hospital, Monday morning, March 18th, shortly after mid night. MT. Esch, popular Bann- ing citizen, was taken to the hos pital for treatment early last win ter. He returned home for awhile but was again compelled to seek medical treatment at the hospital. There the end came to this vener able citizen, who had led very eventful life.
 During the gold rush to Alaska in 1898 MT. Esch joined the vast throng which sought the yellow metal in the Far North, then an unbroken wilderness. He knew much of geology and gain.d in- tensive knowledge of mining dur ing his residence at Nome. Un- like most of his adventures, he did not return home after the gold rush was over, but remained some years at Nome, which was at that time a much larger city than it is today. He was elected to the city council of Nome and served with distinction on that governing body. He returned 10 California, but the lure of gold seeking was always with him. In l936 he returned to Nome, in the hope of finding rich deposits left by the proapectors of the sos. He was accompanied that year by his son, Chas. Esch, and J. Hol- land and Lloyd Kinder of Bann- ing. Kinder became lost in a blizzard while attempting to ne- gotiate a trail in the wilderness. He body was found by Eskimos several months later.
 And again last summer Peter Esch went to Alaska. He loved the Northland and its far-flung spaces. Returning home, he be- came ill to the degree that death finally called him.
 MT. Esch was deep thinker and acquired fund of knowled- ge as he traveled through his long and useful pilgrimage of life. He was generous and a good friend.
 Surviving are the widow and two children, Grace of Banning and Charles of Nome, Alaska.
 Funeral services were held at the Wiefels chapel, Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Paul Loqnax of the Community Methodist church delivered the discourse. Miss

 Condemnation proceedings were had under which a strip of land owned by Hoeft was taken by the State Highway Commission. The appraisement commission awarded Hoeft only $500 damages. He was not satisfied and appealed to the district court where a jury returned a verdict for him for $5500.
 This time the State Highway Commission appealed to the Su- preme Court, claiming that the dis trict court had erred when it in- structed the jury that they coulc take into consideration their own knowledge of the values of the property in connection with the valuations which have been given by the witnesses"

 "It was the large man?" he asked. "Whitfield?" This was as it should be. It would have been awkward, had it been the other one who had bolted. The Captain gave an order.
 A call was piped shrilly, calling all hands. Cabell, listening on the ladder of the hold, knew what this meant. He too must go above. He went, with sick heart and dragging feet.
 To Jerry Whitfield, reason had returned. Instinct still Surged within him-the old primitive in stinct that writhes at the feel of whip on naked flesh-but req son dominated.

 Presently they pulled hemp strands from the damp rope and resumed their game of yesterday, and after that they spoke of how the foliage would soon be turning in Massachusetts, and of the scar city of wild turkeys near the set tied places.

 In Boston the hour was not so late. MT. Cabell Banks, senior, was pacing the drawing room floor in his beautiful square Georgean house on Beacon street while his wife sat erectly before the fire slipping coffee from small fragile cup and urging him to be calm.
 Beside Mrs Banks on the high armed regency sofa sat small, almost pretty, very intelligent young woman, perhaps g years old. She too slipped coffee. Her slippered feet with the neat rib bon lacings around her ankles were placed properly together on the Persian rug.

 The pyramid is located at Teoti- huacan, 27 miles east of Mexico City. Towering 216 feet above the plain, 721 by 761 feet at it's base, it is next in size to the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, and is largest, of course, on the Amer ican continent.
 Who built it, science may never know. Even its age is mere con- lecture. The earliest tribes set- ting on this tableland of which there is record were the Toltecs in 648 A. D. But when the Tol-, tees came they found many great pyramids and monuments, even then ancient.
