MIDAS ORE IS
AT THE DOCK
■ I
Shipment Will be 8ent to the Ta
ooma Smelter on the
Bertha
The big barge carrying the ore
from the Midas mine was brought
over from Solomon gulch yester
day and is tied up alongside the
dock. .This was done in order to
facilitate the transfer of the ore
to the Bertha when she returns
from the westward.
The heavy snow which has fall
en during the past few days and
froze into a sheet of ice made it
difficult for the launch to break a
passage for the scow. The pres
ent shipment will fall short of the
100 tons which it was expected
would be made. The trail up the
gulch has been soft, making team
ing impossible for I be past few
days. The mine is turning out
about tr> tons of ore per day and
if a cold spell puts in an appear
ance I be ore will be rushed to the
beach by employing extra teams.
MILITARY FUNERAL
WAS IMPRESSIVE
Remains of Corporal O'Leary Are
Laid to Rest at Fort
Liscum
Fort Liscuni, March 5.—It was
a striking and pathetic scene yes
terday afternoon at Fort Liscum
when precisely at 2:30 (he troops
assembled and the pallbearers
conveyed the casket {containing
the remains of the deceased Cor
poral O'Leary to the gymnasium,
where a stand was in readiness
covered with the national colors,
the coffin being placed thereon
and covered with the stars ami
stripes and a large wreath draped
|with crape. A guard stood on
each hide until at 3 o'clock the
bugle call sounded and the two
companies lined up outside the
building.
The officers and pallbearers
entered while the Rev. J. Hunt
ing Johnson conducted a short
service, after which the coffin was
conveyed to the sleigh awaiting,
which was drawn by a company.
The procession then moved slow
ly. First, escort; second, the of
ficiating clergyman; third, the
pallbearers and casket; fourth,
the officers; fifth, the non-com
missioned officers; sixth, the
troops under the sergeant major.
The procession through the deep
snow along the shore of the bay
presented a striking scene.
Arrived at the ccmetery the
bugler headed the procession;
then the minister repeating the
burial service, the pallbearers
carrying the coffin, the officers,
the non-commissioned officers
and the companies. At the grave
the casket was laid on cross
pioces, while the troops lined up
in the deep snow, whereupon the
minister read the funeral service
very solemnly and at the com
ntfttal the coffin was lowered, ev
eiy head was bowed and prayer
offered. The escort thon stopped
forward and flred tho usual vol
ley, while tho taps wore played,
and the bugle sounded tho weird
notes of tho burial call.
