March 9. – E T Loy, H B Eakins and Lynn Helm incorporate Arizona and Boston Copper Co., Capital $1,000,000.
THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN: SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1899. A MOHAVE MINING COMPANY. – Articles and amended articles of in- corporation of the Wallapai Mining & Development company were filed in the office of the territorial secretary yesterday. This is a Mohave county corporation with headquarters at Chloride. The incorporators are: Edward T. Lay, James Hunn, H. B. Eakins, J. A. Fairchild and Lynn Helm. The capital stock is $1,000,000 and the shares are $1 each. The amendment consists in an increase for the number of directors.
HON. H. B. EAKINS, Mayor of Ocean Park [now known as the Venice district in west Los Angeles, California], is a native of Pennsylvania, born in the city of Philadelphia, September 15th, 1865. He there specnt his youth, attended the public schools and later passed through the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Va., from which institution he graduated in 1880. He returned home and served an apprenticeship in the trade of watchmaking, which he later followed in Philadelphia and Washington, D. C. At Washington, he also held a position for about three years in the weather bureau under the U. S. Government. In 1887 he came west and sent two years in the Black Hills, South Dakota. There he followed his trade and also became interested in mining, being connected with the Home Stake Mining Company. He was also a guard for the Wells Fargo Express Company during the period of extensive shipments of gold bullion from that district. Mr. Eakins also became interested, somewhat, in affairs of state amd active in issues involving the location of the state capitol, making a systematic canvass of the country in the interests of the city of Pierre. At that time, William Jennings Bryan was canvassing North Dakota for the Farmers' Alliance and, as a matter of expediency, they joined issues, traveled together and spoke from the same platform, Mr. Eakins usually following Mr. Bryan in the presentation of his cause. He thus became intimately acquainted with the now great "commoner" and candidate for the presidency.
In 1891 he came to Los Angeles. Here he became interested in mining properties in Arizona and also acquired an interest and held a position with the jewelry firm of Montgomery Brothers which interest he still retains. While with this house he personally installed the extensive time service of the Santa Fe Railway Co. in Southern California. In 1904 he organized the Commercial Warehouse Company (Incorporated), and is president thereof.
He took up his place of residence in Ocean Park, No. 28 Club House Avenue, in 1903. In April 1908, Mr. Eakins was elected member of the Board of Trustees of the city of Ocean Park and chosen President of the Board, by virtue of which position he is the executive head of the city government.
Mr. Eakins, in 1890, married at Black Hills, S. D., Miss Gertrude E. Beemer, a native of Racine, Wis., and they have a son, Walter, and a daughter, Margaret. Mr. Eakins is a member of Southern California Lodge, No. 278, F. and A.M.

Baltimore, Md.—Through a casual glance at a newspaper paragraph H. B. Eakins of Venice, Cal, has succeeded to an estate which has been awaiting him for over a quarter of a century. When George Eakins, a jeweler, of Philadelphia, died twenty-six years ago, his family gave up their residence in that city. A daughter went to Baltimore; Herbert B. Eakins settled in California. From the day he left Philadelphia his relatives lost
track of his whereabouts, and within a month of his going a letter was received by his sister In Baltimore telling her that Herbert was heir to a large estate in that city. She tried to communicate with her brother. At last the newspapers were appealed to. It was told how property which had risen in value from a modest estate of twenty-five years ago to a handsome fortune today wag waiting to be claimed by its owner.
A Philadelphia correspondent saw a good story in it for his paper in California, flashed it over the wires and brought the good news to the surprised legatee.
