The Passing of Benny Ross.

Benjamin Ross jr. departed this life
at the Clara Barton hospital, San Fran
cisco, on the 2Sth day of October, after
an illness of nearly two years. All was
done for him that could be done by the
best medical skill at his home in Vol
cano, and also in Angels Camp. AT
one time the disease from which he
suffered seemed to have yielded To the
treatment he received, and his rela-
tives and friends had hopes of his ulti-
mate recovery, but it proved to be only
temporary relief. 1t was then thought
advisable to remove him to San Fran
cisco, in order that he might have the
skillful nursing that his case demanded.
1t was soon known that the disease
from which he suffered malignant
cancer) must prove fatal. He lived
only about week after reaching the
hospital. He kept on his feet till the
last, having walked four blocks only 4
few hours before he died. His sister,
Miss Grace Ross was with him in his
last moments. The news of his death
cast feeling of sadness over his many
friends in volcano, and brought the
deepest sorrow to his widowed mother,
whose grief over the death of her hus-
band, the late lamented Benjamin
Ross ST., the hand of time had hardly
softened. After the death of his father,
young Benny, although not strong,
bravely and cheerfully assumed the
duties of bread winner, and for months
persevered in the most laborious work,
cheerfully and without complaint. On
the very day he died he had smile
and a pleasant word for everyone.
Everybody liked Benny Ross, and
deeply regret his untimely death.
Benjamin Ross jr, was born in Volcano,
Amador county, Cal, on the 24th of
Sept, 1881.
He left US in Autumn, when flowers were fading,
Twas the springtime of life when he bade us
adieu,
And left US to mourn DER the grave where they
laid him,
For the loved one whose heart was so tender
and true.
That dear form will be missed from the family
circle,
That dear face we will see on earth never more,
Though We must go on in sorrow and trouble,
Let this thought console us, his sorrows are
DER.

For October. Total distance on cross
cut tunnel in October, 81 feet, running

mel Nov. 1st, 420 feet. Expense of rum

Total length Of upraise run in October,
Is feet, making u total length of 10 feet
on Nov. lst, at an expense OF Sizes,
or 80. l5 per foot. Developments on Del

S176.75, or 81. 40 per foot The average
width of the ledge is Is inches, aud il
is approaching tue intersection with
the Del Monte ledge Construction
work in October, SIS.
The work on the upraise in lie west
chute of the old tunnel shows haLtering
results. The ledge at height of 80
feet came in with a two foot or, body,
which has widened to five feet at 79
feet; this ore body is solid quartz, with
several inches of black gouge. The
average value of quartz and gouge is
about $6S, by assay tests, the gouge run
ming $120 to the ton. The ore body
opened up is quite extensive, and will
keep the mill running for several
months. All is in readiness for milling,
and the stamps will be dropping, under
the supervision of our competent mill
man, B. G. O'Neil ir., on Nov. 10.
The Monte Del lead is approaching its
intersection with the Del Monte, where
exceptional values should be found.
The cross-cuL tunnel is being steadily
advanced, and the large quantity of
water recently encountered indicates a
near approach to the second ledge.
At recent meeting of the board of
directors, proposition was received
from B. g. and C.. O'Neil, trustees,
offering to surrender their %, 900 shares
of trustee stock, held as security for
part of the purchase price of the mine,
and place the same in the treasury for
sale in order TO enable them to pros
q cute the work with greater vigor.
This proposition, which was accepted
by the board, places the control of
operations at the mine in tho hands of
the stockholders at large, and will fur
nish them with the means for rapidly
pushing the work on all lines OF de-
velopment. Secretary Geo. |. Wright
is now in the east on business connected
with this and adjoining properties. and
will, while there place upon the mar
ket this surrendered trustee stock.
