the ravages of miners consumption, which during that time period
had prevented him from mining except intermittently.
When it was announced yesterday morning that he had died,
men could be heard telling each other of his death all over the city. " A
good old friend had gone out." His long residence here since 1879 had
made him acquainted with practically every man in the city.
