I. ochie GilMs of this city, a berther of the deceased, left Thursday for Pasadena Pasa-dena to rake cha'-ge of the remains. Deceased was about 65 years of age, and was one of tho real early miners who figured in the history of this camp. He came from Nova Scotia and went to work at the Ontario mine, within a year after its discovery. Soon afterward he sank the No. 2 shaft to the GOO-foot level under contract. Later he become a shift boss, which positions he held for a number of years. He met with an accident, by falling down a chute while thus employed and was badly injured, one of his feet being be-ing crimped so that it never entirely got well. He was in the hospital for seme time as a result of this and he-then he-then gave up mining permanently. He went to California, and of late years had f-uffered greatly from asllima and -a complication of diseases which caused his death. Mr. Gillis invested in Ontario and Daly stock in the early days and realized from his investments a neat little fortune. Deceased was unmarried. He was very well known and highly respected in this city, and "old-timers" recall many pleasant memories of association with him in the early days. He was a member of the Alta club in Salt Lake.
