James W. Marshall, aged7-l, tlie disco veinr
of geld In Oalllernla, who died en Mendnyal
his home in Kolsey, California, was a young
man of twonty-eno when he was smitten with
the "Wcsteru fover" and bought a farm in
Kansas. The cllmate did net agree with htm
and seen after he packed up and joined a
train or ene hundred wagons, bound for that,
at that tlme, almost unknown land, Califor

onterod the sorvice ofOenoral Sutter and en
gaged as a volunteor in the somewhat ro re ro
markable campaign waged by Cleucral Kro Kre Kro
ment against the Mexicans, who sought te
provent the ontrance of n body of Ainericans
into Mexice, and which was known as the
near 1'iag war. Alter tlie trealj' or Alarcli,
1847, recognizing the ludepondence of Cali
fornia, Marshall returned te find that all his
possessions, consisting for the most art of
cattle, had been stolen during his absonce.
He then started in the lumber business with
General Hetter atColema, Amader county,
and at this tlme he made his famous dis
cevery.
It was en the IStli of January, ISIS, that
Marshall was superintending the building or
tlie mill-race. Alter shutting eir the water nt
tlie head of the race he walked down the
ditch te hee what sand and gravel had been
removed during the previous night He
strolled te tlie lewer end ofthe race and steed
looking down at tlie mass of dubrls. At this
juncture his oye caught the glitter of some
thing that lay ledged in a crovlceoua rlllle
of sort granlte. He steeped and picked up the
substance. It was heavy, of a jiecullar color

kind or mineral the specimen could be and
concluded that it was either mica, sulphurels
orceppor or geld. It was tee heavy for
mica j was net brittle, asaresulphurcts, and,
remeinbering that geld Is malleable, he
placed the nugget en ailat stene and began
striking It with another. The siibstani'edld
net crack or llake eir, but simply flattened
under the blows, and Marshall was satislled
that he had indeed madu an lmiert'iut dis

precious metal and at ence went te Sutter's

The burglars who haj been operating for
Heme tlme in the west end of town, gained
new laurels last evcnlng, when the beldness
orthelfintzoand Oable robberles was sur
passed In a sueccssHil entrance of the house
of Willis 11. Musser, Ne. Ui North Charlette
sirueu ine utirgiary is bollevod te have
occurred about midnight and the intmder or
Intruders get into the dwelliiig by forcing
the lock ofthe kitchen deer. The deer is
usua ly belted, as well as locked, but last
evening it wan only locked, as the servant
girl had net returned for the night An
w'J Tia,,,.'IaiI tfi W "I tl10, "biitters
befbre the kitchen deer was attompled.
Once Inslde the dwelling the burglars pre.
cocded from the kitchen te the dining-room
whero they took twolemons, throwing the
skins Inte the yard. The fact that two
Iomens were taken leads te the Inference that
the midnight visitors were two in number.
Ill sccurinir the Iomens It un nm n
reach evor seme very handseme sllvorware,
which was howevor untouched. It is tlie
Jnvarlable custom of the family te reinove
the sllvorware te the uivstairs bod-roem
every ovenlng, but last night in seme way
this precaution was neglected.
The burglars went up stairs and round,
what rarely occurs, the deer leading Inte
Mr. and Mrs. Musser's bedroom epen.
Mr. Musser's clothing was romevod, taken
te the kitchen and rifled or about ?9, consist

Se sklllrully was the workdeno that net
the slightest neise was made, and the llrst
dlscovery of the burglary was made this
morning when Mr. Aiusser round his clothes

are no ovldencos or their having broken In.
When Mr. Nlomer get tip this morning he
round the back deer leading Inte the yard,
