Butte Miner, Butte, Montana October 10, 1876
San Francisco, Oct. 2 -- James Lick died in this city at 1 o'clock this 
morning. He was been gradually sinking for several days, death resulting from a 
mere decay of nature His remains are lying in state at Pioneer's Hall. The 
funeral takes place on Tuesday afternoon. Since the last change in the trustees 
of his charitable fund, deceasd had frequenly expressed himself better 
satisfied with the co?ulition of affairs, but has manifested considerable 
concern at hearing nothing from his son, John Lick, of Fredricksburg, Lebanon 
county, Penn., to who both letters and telegrams had been sent requesting his 
resignation as one of the trustees. All the rest of the old board have tendered 
resignations, though they have not yet been confirmed by the court. The 
trustees say that the business is in such a shape that no complications can 
ensue in carring out Lick's charitble designs though there issome fear 
expressed that the action of John Lick implies the intention of contesting the 
matter in the courts. The total value of the trust fund is estimated at about 
$5,000,000.

Philadelphia, Oct. 4. -- John Lick, son of the late James Lick, passed through 
this city Monday evening. A "Times" reporter attempted to interview him as to 
his intentions concerning his father's will, but with little effect. He stated 
that he would start that night for San Francisco, and when he got there, he 
knew what he was going to do, and as the reporter states, showed that he had a 
good deal of firmness of character and could, in the way of bargain, ca??? on 
the ninth part of a hair.
