WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1886
[DIED] Our townsman Wm. F. Barger, who has been ill for some months, from a disease of the
heart, deceased on Monday night about 9 o'clock. For some weeks previous to his death he
suffered at times greatly, and frequently his demise was expected at any hour. Mr. Barger
was an old resident of the county, coming from Illinois, settling at North San Juan in the
year 1855. At the time of the mining discoveries in Washoe he went to that region, and for
some years was engaged in mining operations on the Comstock, and subsequently in the
Eastern portion of the State of Nevada. From thence he returned to this county, resuming
his residence at San Juan, but subsequently removed to Grass Valley, where he has been
a resident for twelve or fifteen years. He was a man of a correct and unassuming life,
and numbered many friends in the community. He leaves a wife and daughter ten years
of age. He was a native of Illinois, and in the fifty-third year of age. He was a member of
Manzanita Lodge, F. & A. M. at North San Juan, and also of Highland Lodge, A. O. U. W.
of this place, The funeral of deceased will take place from the family residence on Church
street to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, and will be conducted by the Masonic fraternity.

The days and nights continue clear and cold. The highest and lowest register of the
thermometer in twenty-four hours yesterday was 27° and 42°.
The Sac. Bee says a dealer in that city received an order last week from Truckee Chinamen for
a dozen of Colt’s big revolvers. This looks like preparation to stand off the whites in case of a
collision.
The new lessees of the Slate Range mine have their new steam hoisting works completed and in
good shape, and are now pushing the underground work energetically. There is good milling
ore in sight.
The lead of the Extension Mine, Forest City, is 260 feet wide, and the gravel from the latest
upraise, near the face of the maintained, averaged over $5 a carload.
