He was twice married, his second wite and one son survive. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon.

It is doubtful if any other Company in the world owns gold bearing ter ntory of equal extent and importance; that it is very rich seems to be proved by the fact that the only mine opened on this estate, the famous Stonewall, has yielded from the surface to a depth of six hundred (600) feet, probably over Two Millions of Dollars more than Nine Hundred Thousand ($900,000) Dollars of which was taken out during a peiiod of three years ana tout months.

This record has been verified by the books of the Bank, in San Francisco to which the bullion was shipped, and by the United States Mint in San Francisco.

COWGILL THE SATHER BANKING CO. (Now San Francisco National Bank.) Mr. Wilson writes, under date of March 3rd, as follows: "Have spent several days with the people of the United States Mint here proving our figures, to which you wished me to affix my name. "These figures are not only absolutely correct as verified by the United States Mint returns at Sau Francisco, but we can increase these figures previous to January, 1888, if you desire us to do so. In my researches at the Mint, between 1880 and 1885, I have already $20,466 output January, a little ten stamp mill; February of that year then in 1885 running but a little time only, $75,000.00 more was taken out.

I have invited here the Statistician of the United States Mint, Mr. Yale, to lookup further history. It seems that this Mr. Yale, as a young man, worked as an assayer at the miue away back in early days. From the croppings at that time he took away about one hundred pounds of very rich ore showing free gold largely (so he says), which he brought here to melt up and make a present to his wife.

"He has that ore now and I presume if the parties who are promoting the sale of this property wished it, it could be obtained at its value. It seems to me it would be a great thing to have it, because what I am saying to you is entirely reliable and authentic. "You may think I have delayed, but you do not know the amount of effort I have put into this since the receipt of the draft which you wished me to sign, and herewith enclosed. I could not, nor would affix my signature until I knew these figures were exactly correct." This mine has not been worked-since the death of the late owner, as the insolvency of his estate caused prolonged litigation, from which the estate has been extricated and an absolutely perfect title vested in this Compay, who will now proceed to work this mine, which is perfectly equipped with a 20-stamp mill in perfect working order, and all the necessary machinery for pumping, hoisting, etc and will also begin immediately, and prosecute as rapidly as possible the exploration of all the gold mining portion of the estate, and to develop its other industries. The value of the Company's ground, for gold mining, is also proven by the large number of mines, opened in the same formation, in the well-known mining districts of Banner ajid Julian to the North, and by the development of equally productive mines to the South of the Company's boundaries.

Accurate accounts of the details of the operations of the Stonewall mine and mill are not obtainable, but the record in' the Bank shows that Six Hundred and Fifty seven Thousand, Sixty Dollars and Thirty six Cents ($657,060.36) of value in bullion was produced from January, i888.to July, 1890, during which time only an old 10-stamp mill was in use. The full capacity of such a mill would be thirty (30) tons for each twenty-four (24) hours, and if worked continuously, during the time named, the amount of ore handled should haye been about twenty-seven thousand (27,000) tons, thus showing an average value per ton for the ore of about Twenty-four Dollars (24). This is extraordinary, and perhaps unequalled, on a strictly free milling proposition. Nothing whatever was done with the tailings, under the old management. Col.

S. II. Lucas, our General Manager, states strongly his belief that he can so open up the Stonewall mine as to block out, during the next eighteen months, sufficient reserves of ore to enable him to work continuously a 40-stamp mill which would have a capacity of one hundred and twenty (120) tons per day, which, at the same average, as is shown in the past, would mean the production of Twenty-eight Hundred and Eighty Dollais ($2880) per day in gold. As the operation of a stamp mill is practically continuous, barring accident, it is pafe to figure on three hundred and fifty (350) working davs in the vear: this WOllld show nrrirl nr rf Ono rind Eight Thousand Dollars equal to 17 per cent, per annum on the entire capital stock of the Company, from a single nine, out of the dozens that may be discovered on the property of this Company, to say nothing of its other great The complete Official Prospectus of this Company, handsomely illustrated, giving the Directors and containing full reports on all resources of the Company, and detailing its plans for development, is now in press, and will be furnished, on application, to those contemplating investment First Treasury Issue 50,000 Shares $1.50.
