THOMAS GUM.
Among those which sad fate or
destiny has doomed to untimely death
during the past two weeks of sorrow
was Thomas Gum, foreman for Sin
clair & Golden. He died on the 9th
instant, after suffering for about one
week with the fell and almost unde-
termincd affection which has pre-
vailed. The deceased was a native

for several months engaged in mining,
which vocation he formerly followed
in Eureka, New, and Bodie, Calf,

Calf, in the southern part of which
he carried on the mining business
with his brother, John J. Gum, who's
well and widely known throughout all
the great mining centers. 1t is pre-
sumed that telegraphic messages in
tended for the latter did not reach
him. Tom Gum was a square man

be assured that their loss is felt here
as well. The obsequies were held
