Northern Miner 7 Nov 1910
Death of Mr. John Millett. General regret will be felt at the death of Mi. John Millett which occurred on Sunday evening, about 9 o'clock. Mr. Millett was one of our foremost mining men and has been associated with mining on Charters Towers for over 30 years. He left Cornwall when quite a young man for California and Nevada, and then came out to Australia where he was joined by hls brother William, who has been assoiated with him In mining ventures ever since. Later on, another brother, Mr. R. Millett came out from Comwall.In the early days, John aad Wm. Millett, in conjunction with the late Mr. W. Percy, Mr. R. Hand, now of Sydney, and Mr. D. Rollston were the leadihg spirits In Millett's Wellington, but they did not confine their energies to one claim. When Mills United began to pay so well about 19 years ago, deceased had a good Interest therein, and later be was associated with the fortune of the Brilliant and St George, Kelly's Queen Block, Brilliant Central, Queen Cross, and Brilliant Extended. later on again Mr Millett had a good Interest In Mills United, the Brilliant Freeholds, and the East Mexican. These are only the leading lines, for it can be said there was hardly a mine on the field in which he had not, at one time or another, an Interest. At the time of his death he was chairman of the East Mexican G.M. Co., and leading spirit In the Brilliant Extended, Brilliant Central, and other mimes. Deceased never took any part In public affairs, but was a generous contributor to local charities, and was a staunch and generous friend, Mr. Millett, Who was 56 years of age, is survived by his wife and six children nearly all grown up. The funeral talus place 11am to-morrow (Tuesday.) |
