Descendants of Nathaniel Ferguson and Fanny Howes
( From Daily Alta California November 18) LARGEST YET - TWO
gentlemen of our acquaintance passed this city a few days since on their way to
NY, with an amount of gold which we believe, to be unequaled in the records of
individual successes in mining. They had with them dust to the value of 160,000
dollars, all obtained during the summer from two claims on the Yuba river.
These lucky individuals are Messrs. Thomas J. and Daniel H. Ferguson, formerly
of Danbury, Conn. They carried their treasure to Benicia upon the mules which
brought it from the mountains, and it is probably the heaviest importation that
will be made for some time into that grand port of entry, [North China Herald,
