years of his life were spent in poverty as far as ready money was concerned. He had property enough in Kelsey to have kept himself comfortable all of his life, but he would neither sell nor work it. His poverty was the result of his inability to take care of himself under any conditions which could have been devised and for that very reason the State ought not to have cut him off entirely, but should have given him s25 per month until his death.
 Marshall was a rank spiritualist and claimed that he had always been aware that there was great work for him to do. and that he had been guided and caused to make the discovery by spir- itual influences. Be that as it may, he certainly did make the first available discovery of California's gold.
 Although naturally worthy of better things, he deteriorated until, in plain English, he was unprepossessing in ap- pearance, untidy in person and filthy in habits: his habitation was a den reeking with tobacco juice, strewn and plastered with antiquated quids and redolent with creosote. His objection
 
 the general impression concerning him was decidedly uncharitable He was very hospitable and fond of children, while the lasting regard which his friends have for him shows that there were elements of true worth in his character. He was an unfortunate be- ing, misunderstanding and misunder- stood, born to unhappiness and sorrow, and was one of those wrecks which nar- rowly escaped being genius.
 Some have sought to rob him of this credit because the padres mined for gold in Southern California, although no important results sprang from their work. James W. Marshall's discovery, made on the 24th day of January, 184S, was the first discovery of the great gold deposits of the Sierra Nevada, and as he was the first one to bring them to the notice of the world, he is justly en- titled to whatever credit is due to the

 C. D. Robinson has a number of new marine pictures-some just finishe, and others yet on the easel. "Seal Rocks, from Cypress Point (Monterey)" is a very admira ble creation, with opalescent piulsh gray as a predominating tone.

It displays deep rich red and orange sunset, the coloring being superb. long in-rolling swell of the ocean covers all of the foreground and middle distance.

instead of concentrating his attention upon mining he spent his time post ing notices and getting into trouble with the newcomers, thus rendering himself so unpopular that he was fin- ally unable to save even that to which he was justly entitled, and so he ulti- mately lost everything without a cent of remuneration.
 For several years thereafter Marshall was wanderer, but finally returned to Coloma and bought the ground where his cabin and monument now stand. He made quite a success with a vineyard and in '62 his old cabin was burned down and the present one was erected in it's place.
 In '69 and 70 Marshall went on two featuring tours, which were unqualified successes financially as long as he kept sober, but his affinity for jags brought both to an untimely end
 Marshall spent the greater portion of his latter years at Kelsey, some six miles distant from Coloma, swinging back and forth until finally he moved to Kelsey for good.
 After his return from his second tour the Legislature made the following ap- propriations for him:

Necessity for exposing the methods of the Examiner once more arises. The task is undertaken not from hope of reforming that sheet nor to infiict pain upon it, but to further educate the public to a knowledge of its true char acter. The Examiner seems actuated by most unseemly prejudice against honesty.
 There was no surprise at the an- nounced intention of the Mission street sheet to issue a Golden Jubilee edi- ton. The Call had already made a similar announcement, and the incli- nation to feebly initiate The Call had been manifest on former occasions California is 9 large State and it's his- tory rich in incident.

He wintered at Fort Hall, thence went to Oregon and finally drifted to California, where he entered Captain Sutter's employ at Suffers Fort. For several months he made blows and spinning wheels and was the handy man of the place.
 Marshall enlisted in the Bear Flag War and served through that and the Mexican War in California. Although not in a position of command, still, ac- cording to his own statements, he was of great assistance to his superiors in bringing the wars to a successful ter imitation. He received his discharge in March, 1S47, but on account of the tri- angular dispute between Kearny and Fremont and Stockton as to who was entitled to supreme command, he, as well as the rest of volunteers, was not paid at that time for his services, and some, among whom was Marshall, claim that they were never paid. This treatment did not meet with his un- qualified approval and nourished the be- lief, so dear to his heart, that he was a much abused man. He went back to the fort, and was a hard-looking object as he came tramping in, barefoot and clad in buckskin. He went to work for Captain Sutter and afterward dis covered gold at Coloma, as related pre- viously.
 At first Marshall had number of white men working on tribute" and did considerable mining with the h. dians, but in the rush he lost the land to which he only had a squatter's right, which under either American or Mexican law was null and void on min- eral land.
 In equity and in accordance with the mining usages which have been in force from that day to this, he was entitled to two average sized claims and the ground occupied by the mill and what was necessary for it's untrammeled op- eration. But he wanted everything and

discovery of gold in commercially valu- able quantities in California
 The afternoon before his death, while sitting upon his front porch talking to some neighbors, he pointed to some dy- ing plum trees and said, That's the way I feel, part dead and part alive. That's the way we will all go, one by one"
 AS he was feeling poorly he took dose of physic before retiring. Mar shall had a partner by the name of Hill, and when he heard Marshall stir ring the next morning, he asked him if he had heard the noises in the upper part of the house during the night. Marshall replied that he had, but laid it to the rats which infested the gar- ret. Hill went out rabbit hunting, and returning after quite an absence set about preparing the breakfast Shortly afterward he spoke to Marshall, who was lying dressed upon the bed, his hat pushed down over his eyes and his right arm and leg hanging down by the side of the bed with his right foot touching the floor. Receiving no an- swer, he touched Marshall, and finding him motionless, he became alarmed went to the door and called out to Ms- Sipp and Tom Allen that something was the matter with Marshall as he seemed to be dead.
 They ran over and MT. Sipp immed1- ately put his hand on Marshalrs breast, but although the heart was still, there was so much warmth that life had evil dently been extinct only few mo- ments. All of the indications showed that he had arisen, dressed in haste, as his shoes were unlaced, had gone to the rear returned, leaving the back door open, felt weak, laid down and died. He did not starve to death, as has been claimed, for he had some money and, for him, quite supply of provisions.
 Although Marshall died at Kelsey he was buried at Coloma, and Placer vile Parlor No. g, Native Sons of the Golden West, had the honor of initiat- ing the movement which resulted in the erection of the monument which marks his resting-place and commemmorates his discovery.

 In this relation it is only fitting that an account should be given of James Wilson Marshall, who was born at Round Mountain Farm, near Marshall's Corner, Hunterdon County, State of New Jersey, on the 10th day of October, 1910. His father, a man of some note in his church and State, was born in

The clipping which accompanied the letter was an advertisement setting forth that the photographs of Marshall and the picture of him as he lay dead in his little cabin would appear in the Golden Jubilee edition, and had never been published. Perhaps the Exam iner may present a technical excuse for this fabrication. The paper for which the pictures were made and from which they were taken by some scheme of fraud has already come from the press, but it will bear date a day later than the Examiner.

To take pictures that had been collected and prepared for publication by a country paper and then claim to have some thing exclusive was wholly character istic. Fortunately the Placerville edi- tor is not the sort of man to tamely submit to so gross an imposition.
