BRISTOL RICKARD IN ALASHA (Continued from First Page) The life of Davis, as unfolded to the writer after considerable urging, has, like Rickard's, been an inter- esting one. Born in Arizona a half century ego and raised in Los Angeles, he developed the #pirit of wanderlust when a mere boy. His first prospect. ing trip, made at the age of 14, took him to the Panamint mountains, which he reached after a trip through Death Valley. He came out of the mountains at Milford, Utah, and later went through southern Nevada, where Dullfrog and Gold- field were located later. He made one trip from a ranch owned by a Mrs. Stewart in the southern part | of the state to Muddy River with three burros, a distance of 70 miles between water. He later went to Pioch, Nev., at that time a deserted silver camp. Loses Capital in Oranges At the time he traveled through Utah, almost the entire population Wi ade up of Mormons, due, as Davis explained, to orders issued by Brigham Young prohibiting mining activities in the territory over which he held sway to prevent any inroad by Gentiles. Davis, before returning to Los Angeles, prospected in Col- orado in the San Juan territory near Durango. In 1895 he lost his entire capital when threc carloads of or- anges shipped by him from Los An- geles to Seattle proved an pnwise in- vestment. Broken tinancially but not in spirit, he went to Douglass Island, 4, across from Juneau, and en- d the employ of the Treadwell lwarm atmosphere of the office where | Mining Co., the largest stamp mill fn the world. Many of his fellow workers struck gold in the Klon- dile and had simply hired out until sufficient funds were available for a grub st Davis over the Chilkoot ass by way of Dyca. At that time re was no Skagway. Later White ass was used because it was more ter prospected at and at Circle City, then back to Mastadon Creck, named after nitmerous skeletons of prehistoric animals found in its 23 Months in Siberia Davis was a member of the Gug- genheim Exploration Co., which spent 23 months in Siberia. John Rosene and a Count Padorski held a sub-concession on the trip, the latter having been at Nome in the early days with Tex Rickard. The Russian noble later went to Gold- ficld, where he was shot and killed for alleged undue familiarity with a miner's wife. The body was ship- ped to Seattle by R _ne and later forwarded to Vladivostok, Russia. Davis today has thc hardy ap- pearance of a man of the open. His hair is slightly tinged with grey and his movements are those of one who has been active and still it. He is veterate reader and is well rsed on subjects of the day. He first came to Bristol in 1917 and while he has yielded on a few occa- sions to the lure of travel, he has each time returned. At present he is employed by the Veeder-Root Co. on “Surch street. 401 MAIN STREET |as Polar bears.

Aside from the proximity of his birthplace to that of the Bard of Avon, Jones enjoyed few of the other perquisites which would lead to the success he attained. A farmer’s son, his youth was occu- pied in schools under the English custom, with classes early and late and long recesses, which he used to “He 18 less clever than Wilde, less witty than Shaw, less brilliant than Pinero, less whimsical than Barry; but, on the other hand, he is more humorous /than any of them.” Many other works of the prolific | writer achiéved great success and at least one aroused controversy com- , parable to that now hovering around This was “Saints and which had its debut at the audeville in London in 1885. “It was hooted on the firat night,” wrote Jones, “and condemned by a | considerable part of the press on the | count that it dealt with religious | matters, and that I had made its personages quote Scripture on a Sunday morning. It ran two hun- dred nights at the Vaudeville, and |was even more successful fin America”. : “The Silver King” started him on the road to financial success, while “The Case of the Rebellious Susan’ was the forerunner of h® comedy successes. He also published a few volumes concerning the theater, | principally critical works. 'BURNED 70 DEATH (Continued from First Page) !

HENRY A, JONES DIES, WAS PROLIFIC WRITER (Continued from First Page) The English stage had no out- standing name among its play- wrights forty years ago when & youth came from a farm near Shakespeare’s birthplace to join the coteric of famous men of the past generation who made the stage & subject for wide debate and appro- bation. Thereafter Henry Arthur Jones sat on the throne of melo- drama, “The Liars”, a comedy-produced in 1897, marked the peak of Jones' fine writing, being the most nearly perfect in construction, and enjoy- ing a successful run.

The re- maining years, until his first play was produced when he was 27, he divided his spare time between flc- tion and plays, without success in either. He recounted his tion feat as follows “Rousby, a fine ‘legitimate’ actor, who had been having a disastrous season at the Old Theater Royal at Excter, read the picce, “It's Only Round the Corner”, and was willing to play the leading part of I would take half the dress circle, the high- initial bargain was struck on the spot”.
