San Francisco, on board the old steamer headed for home,and waswrecked on the 
Mexican coast. Reaching shore he walked 40 miles through a desert without 
water, to a small townon the coast,where he re-embarked on board a vessel for 
home. In the fall of the same year he returned to California and for some time 
afterwards was engaged in merchandising at Belvidere Flat, in Tuolumne county. 
In 18?? he went to Frazer river and two years afterward ? ? Fino, and for a 
time was engaged in mining in that place, as also at Elk City. In the fall 
of ? having heard of More's discovery of Boise  Basin, he came to this place 
with a cargo of groceries and remained here until the time of his death. Mr.
