T. M. LANE, Superintendent of the Madison Quartz Mine, Angel's, California, is a
native of Missouri, and was born in 1848. His father, Thomas W. Lane, a native
of Virginia, died at the age of eighty-four years. In 1852 the Lane family
crossed the plains to California, and here, when a boy, Mr. Lane began mining.
He then learned the drug business and set up a drug store in Knight's Ferry,
Stanislaus county. Later, he was engaged in the same at Modesto. In 1882 he
again embarked in mining operations, which he has followed ever since.

   In 1879 Mr. Lane was united in marriage with Miss Eva Gillespie Davis, a
native of Tuolumne county, California, and a daughter of Dr. Davis. Their
children are William Franklin, Ina and Andrew Bradley. Socially, he is a member
of the A. O. U. W., and of the Knights of Honor.

   The Madison mine, of which Mr. Lane is superintendent, is owned by A. J. and
T. M. Lane, and is situated half a mile south of Angel's. It was discovered and
worked thirty years ago, but was abandoned for a time. They now have a tunnel
500 feet long and a shaft 200 feet deep. The plant consists of a twenty-stamp
mill, and cost some $10,000. Its capacity is fifty tons a. day.
