Ten years ago Mr. Davis began his work in the Coeur de Alene mining district in the northern part of Idaho and held that position until last Aug. While in the mines he contracted miner’s consumption which caused his death.
About three months ago he and his wife went to Arizona in hopes that the change of climate would relieve his suffering, but he received no benefit from the climate so returned to Washington.
