‘PASSING OF ADDISON E. HEAD.
(: by one, the pioneers of California, whose biographies are fnoterwoven with the early history of Nevada county, are dropping off and
are joining their early-day associates who have preceded them to the
eternal world. The history of Nevada county pioneers always furnish good
momoranda for very interesting reading matter, as our local people and others
throughout the State always feel a deep personal interest in these heroes
who helped to mould the pioneer history of this famous county.
Ps In the pagsing df Addison E, Head, who died at San Francisco last week’
the State, as well as Nevada county, loses one of its most respected and widelyknown pioneer citizens. Many years ago Mr. Head was a prominent figure in
mining and other enterprises in this section, and was one of the band of hardy
tollers who sought wealth in this county in the latter fifties, and later in the
silver mines of Virginia City, Nev.
Daring the fifties, Mr. Head, with the late Senator George Hearst, Joe
Olark, Robert Morrow as associates, formed a party of miners who engaged in
mining operations on Gold Flat, near this city, for some time. They afterwards mined at a point on Deer Creek, a few miles above here,’and were the
original discoverers of the quartz lode, which is now known 68 the Lecompton
mine and which is oneef the most promising mines in operation in this district. Mr, Head and bis party of miners were also joined later by Chas. E,
McElvy, one of Nevada county’s best known citizene, who worked with them
some time. _
In 1859, when the Washoe mining excitement broke out, Mr. Head, with
his companions, were among the first to visit that section and later returned
with assays of ore from there. which caused great excitement among the
miners who were then here. Every Nevada Oityan who was in this section at
about this time will remember these old-timers as being among the leading
citizens of this city and identified with the success of all local enterprises.
At one time Mr. Head was engaged in the botel business here with a Mr. Taylor and conducted the Metropolitan Hotel, which occupied the site where the
New Union Hotel now stands, the firm name being Head & Taylor. Mr.
Head and hie partners were quite suecessful in their mining adventures in the
i State of Nevade. When they left here for the silver mines their combined capital would not buy a plug of tobacco and they were compelled to borrow
money, but afterward all became wealthy. Shortly after Head returned to
this city he married Mise Rebecca Burnett, who with ber parents lived in a
dwelling which stood on the site now occupied by the Annex of the National
Hotel. From here Mr. Head removed to San Francisco, but still continued to
invest in miuing stock and amassed a good fortune. He also invested considerable wealth in real estate at the metropolis and retained his splendid
financiering ability and business enterprise up toa few months ago. Onlya
sbort time ago a prominent citizen of this city, while walking on Grant Avenue, eame across Mr. Head who was superintending the reconstruction of a
business establishment owned by him, with as much agility as any expert contractor of younger years.
Of-_the four who were partners together in early days—Head, Hearst,
*Olark and Morrow—only one, Robert Morrow, now survives. Mr. Morrow is
president of the Sutter Street Railway.Oo. and a man of wealth and influence.
Mr. Head was a native of New York, seventy-three years of age. He leaves
a widow, Mrs. Rebecca H. Head, and a daughter.

Lonvon, December 15—It is generally reported that
orders have been received by the British Commander in the

pending the decision concerning the arbitration proposal,
which came through the United States government, and
which submits the British-German claim to arbitration, as
announced by Lord Lansdown in the House of Lords and
now under consideration by the British Government.
