JUST RECEIVED A LARGE SHIPMENT OF WHITE RAISINS ALBERT BURCH, 76 NOTEDENGINEER (Continued from Pag One) , , Lbs. 58' 25-lb. $053 Box w 4 Blue Points Per Pound - KAMPFER'S not Is typical of his early expe riences in the rapidly develop ing mining field. From the famous "Homestead the young mining engineer be came the superintendent of the equally famous Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine in the Coeur D'Alenes, the largest silver and lead mine in the world, before he entered the independent pro fession of mining engineering as mining expert and consultant. His professional duties took him gradually from the Dakota Black Hills through mineral regions of Utah, Idaho and Ne vada to the second largest gold mme in. the country, the great bonanza known as "Goldf leld Consolidated," which he man aged from 1911 until the start of the World war. But Mr. Burch preferred less confining and more varied professional service so he gradually got more and more out of the manage ment department of mining and more and more into the engi neering and consultive end. World Reputation In this profession he rose so rapidly that before he came to Southern Oregon to make his home Mr. Burch was recognized at home and abroad as one of the three or four foremost min ing engineers of the world. In fact after coming to Med ford where he took over the management of his pear orchard and became active not only in the local farm and fruit organi zations but in the Jackson Coun ty Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations, his professional reputation was so high that former President Hoo ver made a special visit to Med ford to try to induce him to take charge of the Hoover min eral properties in Australia. In spite of a salary in six figures. 1 -iwever, Mr. Burch decided his more useful service and greater contentment would ' be found here in the Rogue River valley with his quiet . home in the country as his permanent head quarters. Until his last illness, however, Mr. Burch was one of the most active and sought-after mining consultants on the entire Pa cific coast, a list of his clientele back through the half century reading -like a Who's Who in high finance, - from Cyrus Mo Cormick, Mrs. Potter Palmer and J. P. Morgan in the early days through John Borden, Ber nard Baruch and the union pa cific railroad in more recent ones. , Author Of Note In addition to his brilliant career in his profession, ' Mr. Burch was an author of some note, having written a history of mining in Oregon and being co-author with S.: H. Dolbear of the book "Chromite," as well as contributor of innumerable technical articles to mining, en gineering and scientific periodi cals and magazines. 1 Not only was Mr. Burch hon ored by membership in practi cally all the famous mining ana engineering societies, botn na tional and international; but he served as vice president of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, was chairman of the Oregon State Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, as well as for many a member of the State Board , of Higher Educa tion, which controls all institu tions of higher learning in me state. In fact the list of the hon ors and offices held through the half century of the deceased's greatest activity would come close to filling a volume . In itself. Among other high positions hs held were consultant engi neer for the Pacific Mining com pany and the Benton Mining company, both In Oregon; con sultant for the Mountain Copper company, one of the largest min ing concerns in California, and consultant for many, other com pales throughout the United States. , . , , " . Mr. Burch was twice married, first to Mary Louise Ay lsworth Stewart of Denver, Colo., who died in Medford in 1931, and later to Marguerita A. Dinsmore Backus of Medford who sur vives. Others surviving are two daughters of the first marriage, Mrs. Max Smith of Wallace, Idaho and Mrs. E. A. Pond of Oakland, Calif.; one step-daughter, .. Mrs. - Robert Sterling of Boulder, Colo.;- one sister, Miss Charlotte Burch of Santa Bar bara,' Calif. He also had two grandchildren, one a lieutenant in the U. S. navy, - Funeral services will be con ducted from the Perl funeral home Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Medford lodge 103, A. F. and A.
