Gold Hill Meas we gather the following
/ interesting matter:
The steamship Monsol Of the London,
New York and China Company has been
lost near Hopekong. The Captain and
his wife and several officers were lost.
The following from San Francisco
| will startle many an old acquaintance of
the deceased:
A cable dispatch, without date. receiv-
ed yesterday. announced the death Of
Frank Farington, well known IN this
State and Nevada. A short time since
Farin.ton left for London. with the idea
of organizing a company 10 develop GER
tain mines IL Nevada, of which he had
control. He sailed from New York the
Sth OF the month. The presumption is
that his death occurred on the passage
across. or Immediately on his arrival In
England. TIE telegram Is from some
one not known TO his family: probably
forwarded by fellow-passenSer. Far
ington was long connected with the press
of Nevada. was one Of its pioneers, and
subsequently accompanied Minister De
Long to Japan. Is Private Secretary.
During his residence in Japan he was
appointed mining expert hy the Govern
rent. and made an extended tour
through the mining regions. inspecting
several deposits in several districts, sub
uniting an elaborate report on its pros
poets and capabilities to the authorities.
He leaves a wife ard one child IN Oak
| land.
We believe it Is . mistake tina. Far
ington ever acted as belong : Secretary.
He went to Japan at the same time that
the ex-Minister first went, but not as an
attache of the LcSation.-Ep. ArPEAL.l
