HERBERT MAYER, MINING ENGINEER, CALLED BY DEATH----
HAD BEEN RESIDENT OF THIS CITY FOR 24 YEARS

Herbert H. Mayer, well-known mining engineer and a resident of Helena for 24 years, died here yesterday afternoon after an illness of several weeks. He resided at 809 Harrison avenue.

Mr. Mayer was born in San Francisco where he spent his early life. He was graduated from the California School of Mechanical Arts and from the University of California where he specialized in mining engineering.

For some years thereafter, he was actively engaged in the mining industry. He served as consulting engineer for several large companies and spent a number of years in Mexico City as an engineer for an English antimony mining company. He won high recognition in his profession, gaining an enviable reputation as a skilled engineer both in the field and in the production end of the industry. Since he had resided in Helena he has been a partner in the Goodell Brothers assaying firm, in which he held a half-interest.

Surviving are his wife and one brother, Lawrence L. Mayer of San Francisco. The body is at the Opp and Conrad mortuary and funeral arrangements will be announced later.
