this magnificent claim Of Mr.. Leggat. The
old miners worked the shallow ground at
the head of the gulch and as the ground
deepened they lost bedrock and for want

quit work and abandon their claims, which
at that day were only 200 feet in extent.

Slight Mistake.

In preparing the notice OF DR.. Edmunds'
dental establishment for yesterdays issue,
the reporter of The MINER made a natural,
but rather awkward, mistake so far as
Mrs. Smith is concerned. 1t was stated in
the article that the lady was an experienced
dentist, while as a matter OF fact she is
only a novice. The mistake of the reporter
was caused by looking at some of the work
of the lady in the mechanical department,
and by way of apology he car only say
that if the lady is not now In experienced
dentist it will not be ~long;before she is. This
explanation is made because neither DR.,
Edmunds or Mrs. Smith care to be misrep'
resented even by accident.

rxTuE DIscovERER OF GOLD DEAD.
james W. Marshall, the man who
first discovered gold in California, was
found dead in his house at Coloma,
Gala, on the 10th inst. He was born
in Hunterdon county, New Jersey, in
1912, and in May, 1914, with train of
100 wagons, started from near Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, for California,
where he arrived in June, 1916. lie
served in the Bear Flag war OF 1867,
and at its close went into the lum Der
ing business in partnership with Gen.
Join A. Suffer. In January. 1913,
while experimenting the building OF
a mill race near Coloma, he discovered
gold. This ruined him financially, as
the adventures who rushed to the
vicinity upon hearing of the discov-
cry appropriated his cattle and horses
and took possession of his lands, and
died poor man, unattended by rela-
tives or friends. lie whose discovery
added countless millions to the wealth
of the world, and built in a few years
an empire on the Pacific Coast, passed
the last years of his life in seclusion,
his place of residence unknown to the
thousands enriched by his discovery,
and doubtless his remains will be laid
away in the village burying ground
with perhaps nothing more enduring
than a pine board to mark his last
resting place.
