A Dreadful Accident.

About O'Clock yesterday Thurs
day. morning, Giacomo James) Fassero
of Jackson Gate, was instantly killed
in the Oneida mine. He and another
miner we're at the 300 levelrcutting a
tank, and Fassero stepped to the shaft
to ring for the skip to stop at that
level to allow his companion to ascend
This was the last seen of him until
pieces of his body we're found in the
shaft and the sump 100 feet below. 1t
lis believed that the ascending skip
caught him and dragged him up the
shaft few feet, killing him instantly,
the dead body then falling to the sump
below. A piece of his shirt and some
blood were found on the skip when it
reached the mouth of the shaft.
Deceased leaves wife and seven
children in Jackson Gate and two
brothers in the state of Washington.
He was member of the Italian Benev-
olent Society, the Druids and the
Foresters. He was about "a years of
age, native of Italy, and had resided
in this country Is years. The funeral
will be held next Sunday, probably at
10 o'clock a. m. The bereaved family
has the sympathy of the entire COM

TuoLuMNE COUNTY

Independent: A rich shoot of ore
has been uncovered in the Standard
mine, which is parallel vein to the
Draper, at depth of about thirty feet.
Operations have commenced sinking
double compartment shaft at the
Parole mine situated near Soulsby-
vile. w. H. Barron is president OF
the company opening the mine.
A force of about sixteen men are en-
ployed at the Draper mine, where sink
ing is now in progress. Everything
looks very encouraging at this property
New pumps have been put in to handle
the water and mill is in course of con-
struction. At the Star Ling mine,
operated by the same company, new
mill is also being built.
Another rich shoot of ore has been
struck in the Golden West mine.
Machinery for ten-stamp mill is now
being hauled to this property. A
double compartment shaft will soon be
commenced, when it is the intention to
sink TO depth of 1000 feet.
Albert Baier, while doing little de-
velopment work on the Independence,
where he has sunk to depth of about
forty feet, brought in a quantity of
very rich rock today-that is, the rock
is of good character and showed an
abundance of free gold.
The heavy rains this week have
proved bonanza to the gold hunters
and number of lucky finds are re-
ported. 1t is not every city whose
streets are paved with gold bearing
rock, but Sonora claims that distinc-
ton. Ed. Shaw picked up specimen
in front of the Hotel Victoria this week,
which contained between 500 and $50
in gold. B. Meyer found small piece
containing about 81, and other smaller
amounts have been found. The City
Trustees for the past few weeks have
been having Washington street paved
with rock from the dump of the
Bonanza mine. This mine has pro-
duced over million dollars, which fact
led to a close scrutiny of the newly
paved street after the rain had washed

cALAvERAs COUNTY.

Citizen: A Chinaman who goes by
the name of All Lum is reported to
have found nugget of gold on Coyote
Creek last week that sold for S208.
Good news is reported from the
Lloyd gravel mine, on Central Hill,
this week. The property is owned by
the Lloyd's of San Andreas, but is un-
der bond to Mr.. Palmer an Oakland
gentleman. A shaft has been sunk to
depth of 210 feet, and for some weeks
drifting has been going on in westerly
direction from the shaft in search of
the old channel. A few days ago six
feet of gravel was struck, and it is sup
posed to be rich. Thousands of dollars
were taken out of the old Union shaft,
adjoining the Lloyd mine, several
years ago, and the gravel beds have
always proved rich in gold in this
vicinity. In consequence all those con-
nected with the Lloyd are in good
spirits. At present twelve men are
employed on eight-hour shifts and
steam power is used for hoisting and
pumping. A large new pump has re-
Gently been installed in the mine and
works admirably. A large quantity of
wood is being purchased by Mr.. Pal
mer at the present time.
The Flamm boys have struck fine
quartz prospect on Central Hill. This
section has always been noted as
gravel country and thousands of dollars
have been taken from the old channels.
Little attention has been paid to quartz
but the Flamm's saw what they
thought were good indications and
sunk shaft forty feet deep on the vein.
They struck black gouge at that
depth, with plenty of black slate,
which always indicates good ore. 1t is
said that some of the rock assays as
high as $40 ton.
In Chill Gulch, Manuel Munes and
M. A. Kiser have good quartz mine.
It consists of north and south vein
averaging twelve feet in width and an
east any west vein averaging two feet
in width. Recent assays of the rock
resulted in showing S11 per ton in free
gold and s35.05 in sulphurets. The
mine was bonded this week to L. Cur

for $4,000. OF this sum $1,000 must be

very large, from the confidence and re-
spect placed in his word and from the
success OF his undertakings. His utter
truthfulness and honesty, as well as
his kind-heartedness were attributes
which drew to him men of all shades of
belief and his friendship to men who
were loyal was proverbial. In fact,
Tom Cunningham was a man among
men and figure perhaps as prominent
as any in the State.
INCIDENT OF KIND-HEARTEDNESS
In his long career as Sheriff his
traits showed themselves to great ad-
vantage. He was never known to kill
a man, although the opportunities
offered were many. Several years ago
in the Livermore valley, he encounter
ed a life-termer who had escaped from
the penitentiary, stolen horse and
was making good his escape. Sheriff
Cunningham was out after him and
was in buggy alone when he saw his
man coming down the road. He Or
dered the man to stop, but the fugitive
put the spurs to his mount and took a
fence along the road. Sheriff Cum
ningham leveled his shotgun and shot
the horse. The man escaped. although
he could have been killed. The Sher-
| iff came back to Stockton, saying he
would get his man the next morning,
which he did.
EVANS AND SONNTAG INCIDENT.
He was the first man to suggest that
Evans and Sonntag did the robbery
which afterward landed those bandits

He was the commanding figure in the
Moquelemos Grant disturbances, the
men, knowing his determination, sub
mitting when the papers of the court
were placed in his hands.
In 1873 he, with Harry Morse, trav.
eled eight weeks on horseback, cover.
ing 5000 miles, in pursuit of the Vas.
quez band, tracing the bandit leader to
where he was soon after captured, near
Los Angeles.
He designed the County Jail at
Stockton, model all over the State.
He was beloved by the men he brought
to justice, if such thing there could
be by such men. He always treated
them kindly and turkey dinner on holi
days was the rule at the jail

Del Monte Mine.

Last report from the Del Monte mine
says that the 900 foot tunnel has been
completed to the shaft, striking it at a
depth of about 200 feet. Here was
found a drift of 25 feet east, on the
ledge, showing three feet of excellent
rock. As soon as the promoters get
enough stock placed to insure the sue
cess of the present company, a new
hoist will be put on, and sinking begun,
which will be carried down to 500 feet.
Then drifts will be run east and west
on the ledge, and STOPPING commenced.
With good ten-stamp mill ready to
crush the rock, as fast as it can be
gotten out, the prospects are extremely
inviting, and investors might do worse
than to investigate the Del Monte, and
give the promoters lift. Mr.. Geo. I.
Wright of Jackson, is Secretary of the
Company, and will receive subscrip-
tions for stock. Go and see him.
