“The Well Known Mining
Man, Passes Away
Suddenly.
The sad news wac received here this
morning that Dana Harmon, the well
known mining engineer, had passed
away suddenly at his homein Oakland,
yesterday, afters brief illness. Death
resulted from_ acute congestion of the
_ fangs.” His brother, Dr. R. Harmon,
was the only one with him when he
died, as Mr. Harmon’s family, who had
been away ona visit had not time to
reach his bedside before death ensued.
His death is indeed a hard and uoexpected blow to his femily, who will
mourn the loss of a kind husband and
indulgent father.
Dana Harmon was well cadea to. ~
Nevada countyans, having for many
years been engsged in mining enterprises in this section. About twelve
years ago Mr. Harmon became interested with a company at the Bay in
the opening up of the Gaston Ridge
Consolidated Mining Co.’s property,
in Eureka township, this county, and
it has been principally through his indefatigable efforts and skill as a mining engineer that this property was
developed from @ mere prospect claim
to a first-class mine and one of the
best gold producers in Nevada county.
Beside the Gaston Ridge mine, Mr.
Harmon also successfully superintended the development of the California and German mines, which are
a!so properties of the Gaston Ridge Co.
About a year ago he» resigned the superintendency of the Gaston Ridge
Co, and lately has been engaged in
orgenizing a company to lease and
work the famous oid Yuba mine, io
Washington townsbip. Mr. Harmon
had all arrangements practically completed to this end when his enterprise
_ and ambition was suddenly checked by
gthe icy hand of Death. As a. mining
engineer he had few if any superiors.
and in his death this county has snetained a great loss. As a friend he
will be deeply mourned by hosts of
people in this section who esteemed
him highly and admired his fine traite
of. manly character. Mr. Harmon’s
family resided on Broad street, this
city, for a long time, and made hosta,
of friends who.-sincerely sympathize
with them in their sad bereavement.
The deceased was 565 years of age
and an honored member of the Masonic fraternity, being @ prominent
member of Nevada Commandery, No,
6, Knights Templar, of this city. A
wife, three daugbters and a son survive
him.
The funeral will take place under
the auspices of Live Odk Lodge, No.
61, F.& A. M., of Oakland, of which
deceased was a member. —-—+#@e-+ ——Embrace This Opportunity to

The Panama Silk Tree.
One of. the greatest. curiosities of the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. It is a plant that grows from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and in appearance does not differ greatly from
other trees, but the inner bark is a perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separate it by
some method best known. to themselves, the process somewhat resembling that of beating flax. When once
it is separated and spun into threads;
it can be woven into a fabric so closely,
resembling silk that it is difficult for
anyone not familiar®,with it to distinguish between the two.

Mr. Minks—Y-e-s; he said he was

THE PASSING OF A MINE.
: Recent press dispatches state that
the’ Cliff copper mine in Keweenaw,
courty, Mich., is to be dismantled,
after an
Cliff was one of the noted early mines
of the Lake Superior copper region.
or amygdaloid beds, but upon one of
the fissure veins of that interesting
district. The fissure is said to have
been worked out, or, at least, worked
until it was no, longer profitable. It
paid its first dividend in 184% ™~
Cliff mine in its early history was
noted, producer of mass copper. The
large and profitable production of metallic. copper by a number of mines.
{n the Lake Superior region has been
a powerful stimulant to the deep ex:
-ploration of mines” in that’ district.
Not all of these. enterprises have
proven all that had been hoped. for
them, but a fair percentage have
been said that with great depth the
copper-bearing: conglomerates . show
values than near the surface,
but it has not yet proven that this
fg not merely a local condition, and
that an improvement may not occur
‘at still greater depth. Great mines
have been closed before, and in some
cases they have been ropened with
satisfactory results to the operators,
but in the case of the Cliff ‘mine, the
impression stems ‘to prevail that it
has actually been ¥ worked out.
