John Burnham, 60 years of age, a well-known miner and one of the founders of the Southern Pacific Mining company, having a claim north of Ogden, which he has worked for nineteen nine-teen years, was found dead in bed in his cabin on the property early this morning by Jed Jones of Ogden. Death was due to heart failure. Burnham is survived bv a wife and several children in Salt Dake City. Burnham had great fa ith in the property prop-erty and he kept "plugging along" for years, as he termed it.
