Robert Carleton Downs.

About 4 O'Clock Thursday morning,
Feb. 7, 1901, Robert Carleton Downs, a
wealthy Suffer Creek pioneer, breathed
his last. He had been ailing but two
or three days. His wife, two sons and
DR.. Giles were with him when he died.
A short time before dissolution &C.
CURED he asked to be turned over and
apparently went to sleep. It was the
everlasting sleep of death.
Deceased came to California in 1S49
or so via OF Cape Horn, and, with Levi
Hanford, opened a store on Amador
Creek. Later they put up a fre-proof
building in Volcano and put in large
stock of goods and eventually opened
another store in Suffer Creek. Thew
were prominent in business during the
early days and deceased laid the
foundation for the comfortable fortune
he has long enjoyed and which he
leaves to his widow and children.
At s O'Clock Thursday evening,
short Episcopal service was held at the
house by Rev. VIM. Tuson, and the
following morning the remains were
shipped below for interment in Cypress
Lawn Cemetery, San Mateo county.
A widow and three sons are left to
mourn his loss, all residents, we believe,
of this county. The sons are, C. r.,
W. E. and Fred Downs. A daughter
died in infancy or early childhood and
was buried in Sacramento,

Chronicle: The Anglo-Saxon Gold
j Mining and Tunnel Company, consist
: ing of Boston capital, is opening up the
old Hex property. This is very large
property of several mining claims, the
principal one being the Anglo-Saxon
and the Tiger lodges. In the eighties
there was great excitement here over
the rich pockets of coarse gold found
in the ADglo-Saxon and Tiger veins
near the surface. The present COM
pany will 60 down deeper by running a
Transformation tunnel, intersecting
those ore shoots several hundred feet
below water-level, so us 10 drain the
several veins and lessen the cost of
mining. The enterprise seems to be in
good hands and has the enthusiastic
endorsement of the old miners. J. o.
Stewart is experimenting the work.
The Glencoe Mining and Milling
Company has let contract to run a
tunnel, 100 feet, in one of its mines
the. Observation-Disclosures near the
town of Glencoe. This tunnel, which
was started some time ago, was ruu to
a depth of $50 feet, when work was dis
continued. Its purpose is to afford
better ventilation for the main shaft,
which it will tap at depth of 120 feet
from the surface. The shaft has been
sunk on the vein to depth of ITO feet
and tho ore looks well.
Citizen: Work was resumed at the
. French Hill Tunnel mine. near Mokel-
umne Hill,} last Friday, on small
scale, under the direction of Tom Nc
Sorley, the Superintendent. The
management is now working four men
on two shifts. The tunnel is in 1920
feet and from this point it is 300 feet to
the surface. At the end of this tunnel
where work was commenced, they had
run but few feet when five-foot
shoot OF excellent ore was struck.
Samples of the ore were taken out and
sent below for the purpose of being
assayed. Prospects are very bright
for the mine.
During the past two weeks many
mining men having been visiting vari-
GUS parts of this county in the interest
OF properties in which they are inter-
ested. Matters of mining nature are
looking up most decidedly, and the
elaine of Ca1avaraS county &C tn tho
good qualities and lasting nature of her
mines are being daily verified by the
favorable comment of these notable
visitors.
