Gulch.v It was a rice gulch, where many miners were engaged in the \ search for the precious metal, and he there conduct- ed three shops, meeting with excel- lent success. He also ~ became ' con- nected/with mining interests,' employ- ing others, however, \u25a0to do the prac- tical work.: In 1858 he '__ sold his butchering business and for two years gave bis attention to quartz-mining, in1860 he came to Jackson' where he purchased the meat \u25a0 market of the Wiley '• Brothers and\ for forty years be was the conductor ot that shop, enjoying a large and profitable trade, selling to Geo.' Thomas 10 years ago. He has 'a -very wide acquaintance among the old settlers of this section of the state .and , has through u long years ' supplied their ' tables . with choice . meats > at . reasonable- prices.

' He has also made judicious investments in "real estate and 'now owns a number of business blocks and dwellings in Jackson, being account- ed one of the well-to-do citizens of the place. In 1862,' when a disastrous fire swept : over the town, his ' losses amounted to four thousand dollars, for he had no< insurance upon his property. This did not distourage him, however, for with renewed effort he continued his work and soon re- gained all that ho had lost.' , In December,' lß6l,' Mr Bi'ight was united iv marriage to Miss Martha '£.

Miss Olive ,J. ..Scappuzi, daughter of Mr and Mrs A.

She had, how- ever, been iv poor ' health \u25a0 for ! years, suffering from valvular trouble of the heart; 'and this organic ailment was no doubt responsible for her early demise.

A daring burglary and : robbery was perpetrated on Saturday; evening last at the residence of James Harris on Broadway. The' party i who did the crime is thought to be well acquaint- ed with the premises, and ; the - place where the money and other valuables were kept. : iMr and Mrs ~ Harris at- tended the dramatic entertainment in Love's hall that : evening, and the absence ' of . the occupants was; seized as the opportunity, to enter ; arid per- petrate the robbery.' Alt was the cus- tom - of . Mrs . Harris', to : leave what' money was in the^bouae in a tin cash box left standing on a bureau, which was also the repository ' for valuable papers, such as "\u25a0 insurance : policies, stock certificates, also a lady's gold watch.. Fortunately ; she took the precaution this time to take with her the cash that was usually kept therein and also another and > more | valuable watch; '^The burglar entered through a window on the "south 'side r *of. the house,* and' made off with the box with whatever it contained. Upon returning from the show .Mr and Mrs Harris were : unaware, that the pre- mises had been : burglarized \u25a0 until an hour or so after arriving home. '.When about to retire, it was noticed: that the box was missing. The sheriff's office was notified and sheriff Gregory and deputy jConners were promptly on hand to investigate. The traces of the burglar, about the window were plainly discernable, but no other traces were left. ' The window was left unfastened, so that' the intruder bad merely to raise the sash to get in,' closing it when he made his exit. There was nothing else disturb- ed about the ' house. The burglar seems to have made straight - to the cash "repository, and immediately left without searching for anything else. The papers in the stolen box, while valuable to the rightful owner, are of no use whatever to anyone else. They can be duplicated,, although this may involve some expense.^ln- stead of being of any use to the robber, they are >in the j nature of a white elephant on his hands.' •"\u25a0 The lady's watch > was. the only article stolen that had any money value, and it would be a dangerous experiment to attempt to conveit this into cash. - Samuel Bendle, living in Newmans- ville, Jackson, Ual., says: ...VI have used Doau's Kidney Pills and they have proved .very beneficial to me. 1 have been suffering .from . kidney trouble and backache for a long time and tried many remedies but did not succeed in finding relief. At 'last Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention, and 1 procured a box at the City Pharmacy. \u25a0 They seemed to be just the remedy I required, and in less than a month I was free from the trouble.

During Friday night the rain- descended in torrents for a while. . On Tuesday, another heavy fall occurred, saturating the -ground sufficient for plowing, and. starting the grass, so that the"' hills 'begin to show a mantle of green.

Ledger & Chicago Inter-Ocean, $2.50 I Forty-two head of mules belonging to Charles Swift of lone, arrived in town from Sonora Tuesday evening, and left the next morning for his 1 ranch in lone valley.-. They had been hauling lumber for one of the lumber companies, but \on account of the heavy storms setting in had to quit. i They, left there Sunday morning, so that it took them three days to make the trip. : Swift will put ; them .to plowing on his land. \Ve are keeping right up to date with; our.

" /;.\u25a0 \u25a0 \\\- Miss Olive. Glodfelty, who has been teaching at the Milligan school house, left Sunday morning for San Fran- cisco, where sho has secured a better position in the public schools. ' As yet Superintendent Greenhalgh has been unable *o get a teacher to take her place so the school will remain (closed until after the holidays. Among the list of applicants before the appellate court of the third dis- trict meeting in Sacramento this week for admission to practice law in the courts of this state we find the name of Albert A. Molflno, son of the lateS. Moliino or Middle Fork school district. He passed a successful examination, -and is now a full- fledged attorney. The ponderous piece of machinery kfor the shaft of the Electric, plant, which was sent to Sun Francisco for repairs owing to the damage done by the wreck of three months ago, was shipped on its return trip from the i! foundry last week. It was found that it was out of the true line only a fraction of the 100 part of an inch. Of course, it had to be reduced to i twice the amount of bend. Even this light bend would have been sufficient to cause trouble on account of the high speed and enormous weight ot the machinery to be moved. By the 'time '.hese lines are read, we presume the repaired shaft . will again be on the ground at Electra. , Pioneer flour is the best; have no "jfcn'er. . The publio schools of the county closed today for the holidays, and will remain so until the sixth of next month, -. which gives the teachers and pupils a vacation of a few days over three.- weeks. "\u25a0• The Milligan school closed last Friday on account of the teacher leaving, so that they will have four weeks. Miss Munger, who has held the position of special music teacher in the schools in Jackson and Sutter Creek ' districts has '• handed in ther resignation to take effect today. It will doubtless be some time before the services of another teacher can be procured to take up her work. . . Wm. J.

N294t \u25a0\u25a0'During the month of ' .November only two persons declared their in- tention to become citizens, ' namely Uuiseppe Ferrari, a native of Italy, and a resident of Amador City; and Peter- Perlanda, native of Austria, and residing in Jackson. : Last Friday night the Two Vaga- bonds was given in Sutter Creek, but the expenses of ; the trip were just covered. The night was too stormy to expect much of a crowd out. LOCAL NEWS \u25a0 Nothing further has been recalled concerning the eleven victims of the disaster. Allhope of their suvival has long since been abandoned. Even -in . bulkheading, precautions were taken that in case any of the missing ones should reach the barrier, they could easily force a way through to safety. . : There is no smoke issuing from the Fremont. For several days there has been nothing to*indicate that the fire was still burning. From last ac- counts, it was thought that no effort would be made to uncover the shaft tor several days, probably not until the beginning of next week. The Gover shaft is open, and men can travel from top to : bottom with- out experiencing serious trouble. \u0084 It is '.bnlkheaded at certain ' points to shut off the draft from the Fremont opening. - There is little ohange to note in the situation at the Fremont mine from that stated in these columns last issue. The " Fremont shaft has been closed up, and steam has been forced down the shaft tor the purpose of extinguishing the fire, should it be still smoldering iv the heavy tim- bers. It is generally thought that the fire was confined to the MOO foot level, and immediate vicinity. That point is the only spot in the shaft where heavy caving ground was en countered in sinking. So that wnile considerable debris may have choked the shaft at this place, it is not sup- posed that the damage is very great. He was born in Massachusetts, on the 27th of May, 1831, .'and is of Eng- lish lineagel \u25a0'\u0084 Hi 3 grandfather, Jesse Bright, w«s a native' of England and became the progenitor of the family iv the United States. - Mr. Bright was the eldest of six children, was educat- ed in the publio schools of his native town and there learned the two trades of shoemaking and.- butcher- ing. In 1851 he took passage on the Philadelphia, bound tor California, and by way of the isthmus route came to this state, landing at San Krauciseo on the 10th of. December of that year. tie made his .way direct to Mokelumne Hill, and* on the 20th of the same month began mining on his own account, but not meeting with the success he had anticipated, he turned his attention to the dairy business, owning twenty cows. He did the milking and then We take the following from his biographical sketch published some years ago : |§§|| " He leaves an estate variously v esti- mated from 830,000 to 850,000. His sheep ranch in the lower county com- prises several thousand head, run- ning on leased land. His realty, com- prising the slaugtber-house ranch, partly within the . city - limits, . is a valuable tract, upon which the Bright mine is located, which is a promising quartz prospect. He leaves no children. It' is generally believed that he made no will. Besides his wife, the heirs > are a nephew, a brother's child,' Herbert Brignt of Oakland, and relatives in the eastern states. Deceased was a kind-hearted, up- right citizen. He was not a member of any religious or- fraternal organi- zation. He was ever ready to extend a helping hand to the needy. He had his peculiarities of character, but the bumane,and kindly side was strange- ly in the ascendant. .V The remains were removed to the residence of Mrs Bright on -Wednes- day afternoon, and the funeral took place to-day. Mrs:' Bright was informed of 'his critical condition, but did not; see him alive. Some three years ago Mr Bright left bis 'comfortable I home on Pitt and Stump streets, and the hus- band and wife had lived apart since, Mrs Bright occupying too homestead and Mr Bright living at the Clone hotel when in town. . Mrs Bright felt the situation keenly. She was Hardly prepared to believe that her lite com- panion of over 40 years was about to pass away. S v W. Bright, one of; the oldest. settlers and pioneer business men of this community, passed away at the home of Mrs . Yelland, beyond 1 New- manville, at about 11 o'clock Tuesday night, after a brief illness. . | lie had been failing for a long time. Indeed, he . never fully \ recovered ' from a severe sickness of over a year; ago; although able to be around and at- tend to his business- as usual. Ke- cently he went to his ranch in the vicinity of Gait, where, he kept" a large flock of sheep.' He was there a few. days, . and daring . : that time sustained a heavy fall, which shook him up badly; He tell over a slight embankment not over's feet, aliehti- ing-ou his stomach. He was alone and lay helpless -'fully.:' half -an hour. It .did:', net 'disable 'him, however, and he returned home in his buggy the middle of last week alone as was his custom. But he was far from being well, suffering from a cold as well as the fall. He went to the resi- dence of - Mrs .Yelland, , and every thing was done for him "that .careful nursing could suggest. His ailment was deemed by himself of no serious character. His i physician ! was . not summoned until atfer ' he 'had been home ' several days,' but simple remedies were applied. Failing :to improve; Dr. Phillips was summoned Sunday last, and found him suffering from ' stomach trouble, largely - the result of the fall. . On Monday he ap- peared much improved, and also "on Tuesday morning, so much so in fact that the physician thought it would not be necessary to see him that day. But; about ' three o'clock that, after- noon the doctor was hastily summon- ed, and found that a material change for the worse bad occurred. 'Every- thing possible was done to rally him. The doctor remained for three hours, but ' the system \u25a0 failed :to respond to any ;of the 'remedial methods.- The physician '.realized that the end was near,' and told .. his patient, who was perfectly conscious, to settle his business affairs, . and send for any friends or relatives he wished to see. The dying man would not believe that he was so near to death,' saying that ; be would arrange bis affairs on the morrow if . lie felt no better. The doctor left, and about half past eight the same evening he was again hurriedly summoned. This was not unexpected, as to bis practic- ed eye it was only a question of a few hours when he left him the same afternoon. ."..-'He ' oontinued- to' (fail rapidly and death came, shortly after llo'clocki .
