MADE SEAL OF CALIFORNIA
Man Who Engraved It and Con-
structed Dies for Gold Coin
Passes Away.

San Francisco.-With the death of AL
brecht Kuner few days ago passes a
notable and interesting member of the
body of California Pioneers. The Of
fetal seal of the state, designed by
Caleb Lyons, was engraved by Kuner,
and the dies made for the first five and
ten-dollar gold pieces cast in this state
were the testimony of his skill as an en-
graver.
Kuner was born in Lindau, Bavaria,
on October 8, 1919, and, after receiving
a thorough education at his home town,
he learned the trade of gold and silver
smith. In 1S4S, in company with many
others who were attracted by the gold
discoveries, he sailed for New York, re-
naming there until January /, 1849,
when he sailed on the Sutton for San
Francisco. The voyage around the
Horn was slow and tedious, and Kuner
was landed at San Francisco after
wearisome passage Of nine months.
However, 1t was not the desire to
prospect for gold that brought Kuner 10
the new Eldorado, but the desire to es-
tablish himself in his chosen work in a
new land. The success he achieved was
immediate, and, as tribute to the thor
oughness of his training and his talents,
he was given the task of engraving the
great seal Of the state and the dies for
the first five and ten-dollar gold pieces
cast in the state. He engraved all of the
seals used by the Wells-Fargo Express
company from the time of the establish
ment of that concern in this city in 1852.
In 1854 he returned to Europe and
was married to Judith Rhemick, with
whom he returned to California by way
of Panama. He was one of the organic
ers of the German Benevolent society
and for many years one of its directors.
In addition to his wife, Judith Kuner, he
leaves two unmarried daughters, Anna
and Bertha, and two married daughters,
Mrs. Ida Hermes and Mrs. Martha
Gehrcke.

full width of the drift being in ore Of
low grade with a streak near the center
which run we'll up into hundreds of
dollars. 1t was for the values in this
streak that the mine was worked i'll
earlier days, all the low grade ore going
over the dump The two claims lying
eud to end on the same vein, covering
but little more than one full claim, were
finally abandoned by the owners and
were afterward relocated by Leonard
and Inglis as one claim. Nearly two
years ago, c. w. Hill, after carefully
investigating the property, took bond
on it for $4,000 payable in three in
stallments, the final one of which, due
tomorrow, was paid yesterday. Mr..
Hill interested with him few friends
in Utica, N. Y. They have since the
bond was taken, done nothing with the
property, except taking about a ton of
ore out of the Stormy Hill drift and
having it milled, keeping the result pri-
vate, aud having the waste dump
sampled and six tons from it milled,
giving out the result as a little better
than So per ton. An engineers esti-
