Veteran miner known as Pen oper dies in French Gulch
An elderly figure in French Gulch known as Pen oper died yesterday morning at about 90. A Creole of Monta and Spaniard by birth, he drifted across the country during gold fever and spent years in carpentry and mining. He avoided crowds, valued independence, and showed loyalty to friends who helped him in old age. Local residents recall his solitary habits and occasional visits from neighbors, with Allen of French Gulch aiding his care.
