"DEATH OF E.D. SUITS."
Elihu
D. Suits, who was known to many here either personally or by
reputation, died in Douglas, Arizona, January 18, of abscess of
the liver. He, with his brothers, was at the El Tigre mine, of
which he was a large owner, in Sonora, Mexico, when he was taken
ill. He was taken thirty miles by team, then a long journey by
rail before being able to have the needed care, but after his
arrival at the hospital everything possible was done for him, but
to no avail.
Mr. Suits married Miss Mary A Jones, daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. John E. Jones, in Round Valley in 1882.
Their home since has been in Santa Monica, where they have
considerable property interests. For the last three years Mr.
Suits has been looking after mining interests in Mexico. Recently
the family moved to Palo Alto, the oldest son and daughter having
entered Stanford University. Besides these, two younger children
are also left, with their mother to mourn a father who, from all
accounts, was one of the best of men.
Deceased was a native of
Stockton, California, aged 49 years. His wife, mother, and other
relatives were at his bedside at the time of death. The funeral
occurred in Santa Monica, and was the largest ever witnessed in
that city. The Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Eastern
Star and Royal Arcanum, to all of which orders he belonged, had
places in the procession and services.
Those who knew Mr.
Suits speak of him in the highest terms, as a man of
exceptionally high character, and his home papers fully agree in
this estimate as his worth as a citizen.

Beatty
Bullfrog Miner, June 3, 1905
“MINES
CAVE.”
Millions of tons of rock and earth caved last
week in Senator Clark’s United Verde Copper mine at Jerome,
Arizona, the ground dropping over the surface to the 700-foot
level. Cracking timbers gave the alarm and 300 alarmed miners
fled for their lives and escaped uninjured.
The extent of the
damage cannot yet be ascertained, but if it is feared, the
property will be closed and the existence of Jerome doomed.
The
hoisting works, which are over the mine, have settled and the
machinery cannot be worked. The smelting plant has also been shut
and all activity ceased.
