Edwards, Rev. Jonathan. "An Illustrated History of Spokane County, State of Washington." San Francisco: W. H. Lever, 1900. p. 623. J. C. STUTZ a pioneer of 1885, was born in Minnesota, in 1872, and lived there until twelve years old. He then came direct to Spokane. He acquired his education in the common schools of Minnesota and of this city, also in the high school here, and subsequently entered the employ of the electric light company. He, however, learned assaying and is now engaged in that business and in mining, being considerably interested in Republic and Myer's Creek properties. Mr. Stutz is an ambitious and progressive young man, deeply interested in everything pertaining to mines and mining, and possessing the ability to see and the courage to grasp an opportunity whenever one presents itself. The indications are that he is destined to figure prominently in the mining developments of the future. Religiously Mr. Stutz is a member of the Jefferson Street Methodist Episcopal church of this city. * * * * Submitted to the WA. Bios Project in April 2007 by Diana Smith.
