up the Pelly and McMillan rivers, which
we ascended about 115 miles, finding .
auriferous sandbars and pay gravel, but
not sufficiently rich to warrant working
it so far from civilization. We re-
turned, therefore, and went to Walk-
er’s Fork in Alaska, where we staked
claims, but the season was so far ad-
vanced that no attempt will be make to
work them before March.” Ward and
his companions are Wintering in Daw-
son City. They have had fine health
so far and are hopeful of a successful
season this year.
Obituary.
XYRIS TURNER BATES, 62 M.S.
Xyris Turner Bates, 62, M.S., aged
59 years, died on January 2, 1899, in
Poughkeepsie, New York. After he
had received his medical degree in 1867,
at the Albany Medical College, he
studied in Europe for some time. On
his return he settled in his native town,
Lebanon Springs, New York, and prac-
ticed there successfully for twenty years,
part of the time being editor of the
Journal of Materia Medica. In 1890,
finding his health unequal to so
laborious a life, he removed to Pough-
keepsie and confined himself chiefly to
office work. In 1894 he closed his of-
fice and, except for consultation calls,
devoted most of his time to writing,
spending his Summers in the North and
his Winters in the South. In 1875 he
married Miss Emily A. Warren, who
survives him, with their son.
BENIAH WATSON, EX-’64.
Beniah Watson, who was a member
of the Class ex-’64, until the middle
of his Junior year, died at his home
in Dover, Deleware, January 6, 1899.
He was Clerk. of the House of
Representatives of Delaware in 1869;
Collector of Internal Revenue in 1885
and was the United States Attorney for
the District of Delaware in I8QI.
CHARLES ANSEL WATROUS, ’84,
Charles Ansel Watrous, "84, died at
his apartments in New York on Jan-
uary 20th, after an illness of only a
week.
Mr. Watrous was a son of George H.
Watrous and Harriet, daughter of
Governor Henry Dutton of Connecticut.
His father, of the Class of Fifty-Three,
was a successful lawyer in New Haven
and for several years President of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad. His family are well known
in New Haven, among them a brother,
Prof. George D, Watrous, ’79, and a
sister, the wife of Mr: Edward ie
Raynolds.
Mr. Watrous prepared at the Hopkins
Grammar School, and though one of
the youngest of his Class, was at his
graduation one of its best known and
most popular members. He was also
one of the editors of the Vale Record.
After studying a year in the Yale Law
School he went West, locating in Den-
ver, where for some time he was en-
gaged in newspaper work. In 1887 he
returned to the East and took a posi-
tion with the N. Y. Evening Sun, aiter-
wards organizing and conducting with
success the financial and stock market
department of that paper. In 1892 a
severe attack of typhoid fever com-
pelled him to give up active work for a
time, and he lived abroad for almost
two years.
Returning to New York he spent a
short time in the business of investi-
gating and advising investments until he
entered the firm of Charles Fairchild
& Co., with which he has since been
connected, in a general banking and
brokage business. For this business he
was peculiarly fitted by ability and dis-
position.
Mr. Watrous was a member of the
University Club in New York. He had
attracted to himself a host of friends,
and among the younger Yale men
especially, his death will be keenly felt.
