Philip Oates received a telegram Saturday last from his 
daughter, Annie Ninnis, dated May 20th containing the 
deplorable announcement of the death of her husband Professor 
Joseph Ninnis.  The body will be taken to San Antonio, Texas 
for internment.  Mrs. Ninnis will be met at San Antonio by her 
mother, Mrs. Oates who left on the 22nd.

Professor Ninnis was a mining engineer and metallurgist and 
had for several years been in charge of a large mine at Romero 
Rubio. He was formerly in the employ of Phelps, Dodge and 
located at Riverside.  At the time of his death an offer to 
enter the employ of the Commercial Mining Co. was being 
considered.
