West Point Correspondence.

WEST POINT, February 2Sth, 1867.
Mr. EDITOR Having had terrible bad
Winter in this section of the country, it has
been impossible for the miners to do much
work on their claims but that obstacle be-
ing now over, the miners in and around
West Point have fairly commenced work.
Unusual activity prevails in all branches of
industry. Enterprise Flat presents lively
appearance. and the prospects are that rich
harvest will be the result of the coming sea-
sons operations. At Skull Flat several good
claims that have laid Idle during the Winter,
have been started again and quite a number
of new ones are being prospected which prom
Use to pay well. Camp Flores has been good
mining camp surpassed by few around
West Point in richness. Newton, Bushman
b Co. have a good hydraulic claim which
pays largely. Fred. Morse and others are
doing remarkably well and expect to have
good clean up. At Big Flat the miners are
determined not to be outdone by their neigh
bors, and have opened several claims which
prospect favorably. The claims of Ben. Car
Teton, DIR. Cummings. and Mr.. Lacy, that
have been worked for years, still hold out in
ducements to their owners. At Bear
Creek there are quite number of industrious
miners at work on their lodes, which look
well. The mine owned by Hsre & Sterling
contains good rock, and quite quantity in
sight. The owners are about to put on sew
eral men in order to get out hundred tons
of rock, so as to be prepared for an emergen-
cy. There is a fine MILL on the creek, own
ed by Mr.. Sterling, which is kept constantly
employed. At Bummersville the boys feel
gay and inform me that the mines in their
camp are superior to all Others H. n. Sar
gent, an old resident of Jenny Lind. has let
a contract for one hundred and fifty tons of
rock, to be delivered to him on top. This
rock has paid one hundred dollars per ton.
John Henry &s Co. are getting out some
rock which they say will pay well. We
have several stamp and arastra mills here
which are kept constantly employed. At
tached to Henry & Lacey's and Casner's mills
are the Hungerford commentators, which are
pronounced superior to all others. c. T..
Harris is the lucky owner of one which is
attached to the Casner mill. and says he has
more faith in it than any others In existence.
The mining interests in and around West
Point we're never in more fourlshing con-
oiton than at present. Judge Briggs in
forms me that there will be more gold ship
ped from this section of the county than all
other sections of it combined. Yours,
PATRIcE.

in Boston in 1898, and who died in Rising
Sun. Indiana, some two years ago, at the
advanced age of "a. His son. Prince A.
Athearn, the subject of this notice, was born
at Martha's Vineyard. Mass, in 1911. While
mere child, his father emigrated with his
family to the wilds of Indiana. and settled in
Rising Sun. where he received liberal edu-
cation and grew to manhood. He married
Miss Louisa Hastings. who emigrated with
her parents from Cambridge, Mass, in 1914.
Mr.. Athearn, while residing in Rising Sun.
was engaged in mercantile pun suits, with the
exception of two or three years, during which
time he followed steamboatng on the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. In lS49 he came to
California and settled in Coloma. During
his residence at that place he was engaged in
numbering. In 1851 he paid visit to his
family IN Indiana, returned the same year
and settled in San Joaquin, Oh the Mokelum-
ne River. In 1854 his family joined him at
the ranch. In this county, (San Joaquin)
cupied many prominent positions during his
long life among US. He served several terms
as County Supervisor and skillfully manag-
ed to sustain its credit during the early days
of official peculation. and the only means
employed was the value of his counsel and
character. He served as Justice of the Peace
iy,h his ToupSbiy,
required constant attention. forbade the ac-
ceptance of that office longer. He always had
charge of our District School the last
business act of his life, just few days pre-
vious to his death, was to send for ]. Put
nam, his associate Trustee, and arrange for
the commencement of the Spring term Of
school. Inprivate life he was model of a
man. bIanliness and moderation, warm
hearted benevolence and kindness, were the
leading traits of his character. His examples
are truly worthy of imitation. He was the
idol of his family, and 80 enshrined in their
hearts that the death of one was nearly that
of all. The trials and sufferings incident to
so protracted an illness were borne with the
most exemplary fortitude and patience, and
to the very last he maintained the utmost
composure and cheerfulness. He died a
Christians death. His faith was fixed on
Him Who died that we might live" and
no fear or trembling marked his passage
through the Dark Valley. \ few hours pre-
vious to his decease, he called his children
around him, and in the most solemn and af-
fecting manner gave them his parting admoni-
tions. While imploring Gods choicest bless
ings upon them, his head sank gently for
ward on his breast and without struggle
or murmur his freed spirit winged its way to
Him who give it. By his death we have lost
wise counsellor, a true friend and noble
man. Peace to his ashes
