WILLIAMS In Grants Pass, Thurs day, April 22, 1909, Thomas Wer ry Williams, aged 75 years, after a protracted Illness. Thomas Werry Williams was In many respects a remarkable charac ter. He was born In Cornwall, Eng land, where he lived for many years and became one of the leaders among the Cornish miners and his services to his fellow-workmen resulted In placing them on a higher plane than that occupied previously. While he waB a leader among his fellows he was also a miner and for years fol lowed that calling. After a time he met with a mine accident which, for the time being, promised to be fatal, but a strong constitution en abled him to survive the serious In Jury, but he was never able again to follow this laborious occupation. In the year 1855 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Ann Richards, of his native county. This proved to be a happy union and for the remarkable period of 55 years they have lived together and brought up a numerous family. His widow survives him, also four Hons and three daughters. They are: John II. Williams, Thomas Werry Williams, Jr., Samuel Wil liams, Albert WIllianiH, Mrs. Ken dall and Mrs. Thomas Clenio, all re siding In Grants Pass, and a daughter who resides In Australia. During the year 1S99 Mr. Wil liams waH prevailed upon to come to Grants Pass and make his home with his children. Arriving hero he made many frlendHhlps and coin iniuided I ho respect of our entire community. He was u man of seri ous convictions and strongly Impress ed those about him with truth, honor and the high purposes which sus tained him. For several years he had been a great sufferer, but his kindly deposition and his love and consideration for others never for sook him. His funeral took place from the Newman Methodist church Friday artenioon, April 23, and was attend ed by a large number of our citizens. TOMPKINS-In Grants Pass.

UHD WIN:?. ley MILL AT TIN PAN GOES TO GALICE Equipment at Tin Pan Mine to lie Tuken to the Sutfar Pine Mine Above Grant Pass. C. II. Farmer and J. P. Dobbyn, of Gallce, were in Gold Hill last Friday afternoon, says the News, completing the arrangements of moving the ten stamp mill from the Tin Pan mine on Galls creek, to their property at Gallce. The entire equipment of the mill, including motors, battery, cars and everything, will be moved to their property, the Sugar Pine, v. here it will be put in operation. The Sugar Pine is known as one of the best properties iu the Gallce district. The operators have tapped the vein on the 700 and 800 foot lev els and have driven in a tunnel over COO feet. They have a vein of tellu rium and silverlte averaging from IS Inches to four feet in width and lay ing between a formation of quart site and porphory on the hanging walls, giving an exceptionally high assay. The task of putting the mill In op eration on this property Is no small ono, owing to the inefficient trans portation facilities, but after the work has been completed the opera tors expect great results from the Sugar Pine. Galice Is fast becoming known as the most Important mining district in Oregon, and as soon as it has become noted in outside financial circles, and men of money become Interested and the development properly started, it will rival the famous gold fields of Nevada and Alaska in every way. Endowed with Southern Oregon's incomparable climate, It Is rapidly proving a para dise for the prospector. He no long er has to brave the dangers of Neva da's deserts nor the storm ridden mountains of Alaska in his search for gold, but in this district he can ply his vocation as comfortably and as leisurely as though he was out on a summer vacation.
