TOM LOCKHART DEAD

Following an illness of but one day's duration, Thomas G. LOCKHART, a 
famous figure in the mining history of the west and discoverer of the 
Tonopah Extension mine at Tonopah, died Friday night at his home.  He 
was 64 years old and had figured conspicuously in the mining world in 
Colorado, Nevada and California.  He was a partner of A.D. PARKER, 
vice-president of the Colorado Southern railroad, in the ownership of 
the Florence mine at Goldfield.
    LOCKHART was stricken with pneumonia Thursday  while in Bakersfield. 
 He was hurried to his home in Los Angeles and physicians battled 
heroically  with the disease, but death came 24 hours after the first 
attack of the illness.  He is survived by a widow and two sons, George 
LOCKHART of Oakland and Harry LOCKHART of New York, and one daughter, 
Mrs. G. C. ROCKWELL, wife of a United States army officer.
