Prominent Mining Man and Mineralogist, Dies in Berkeley, Cal.
William Phipps Blake, a prominent mining man and mineralogist of Arizona, formerly professor of the department of mining in the University of California, died Sunday, May 22d, at Berkeley, Cal., of pneumonia, aged 83. He had made the trip to Berkeley to attend the golden jubilee of the university at which the degree of L.L.D. was conferred upon him.
Professor Blake, emeritus professor of geology of the Territorial University, had been connected with that institution since 1894 as head of the geological department and director of the school of mines. He was a member of various European scientific bodies and was the author of several works, mostly of a technical character. Among them are: "Tombstone and Its Mines," "Ceramic Art and Glass," "Life of Captain John Mix."
Professor Blake was present at the founding of the University of California, whose fiftieth anniversary he left Tucson a week ago to attend. It was his intention to proceed to his summer home on the Atlantic and return to Tucson in the fall.
