OF gold in California, as told him by
Mrs. WINNER, who has in her pos
session tho identical peice which
caused such revolution in the his.
tory Of the Pacific coast:

party Of fourteen families, across the
plains from Missouri, On arriving
ut Suffers Fort, Sacramento, we
found Fremont in need of moro men

got the oxen unyoked, and left me
and our seven children at the fort in

We drew our rations like common
soldiers for four months. Captain
Suttcr arranged room for us in
the fort. AS soon rs Mr.. WINNER
returned from Santa Clara, where he
had been stationed during the win

over the mountains to what is now
called Donner Lake, to fetch over
the effects of the Bonner family, af
ter that terrible winter of suffering
that You have heard about.
"In June, 1887, they loaded oil
our household plunder for Battle
Creek, up on the Sacramento, to put
up q saw mill, but they changed
their plans and went to Coloma
Captain Sutter and j. w. Marshall
were equal partners and were the
head Of the expedition. After seven
days OF travel, blazing trees, we ar
rived at sundown a mile above the
town. Next morning Mr. Winner
went out to select a site for the mill,
and | q site for the house. He was
to oversee the Indians, be a handy
man about and l was to be cook.
We had from fifteen to twenty men
employed. We soon had log house
"a good log house-and log heap
to cook by.
"They had been working on the
mill-race, dam and mill about six
months, when, one morning along
