AKLAND, Oct. 22—William Clift, the prominent pioneer mining man and capitalist of this city, died this mornihg at his resi- dence, 633 San Pablo avenue, from stomach trouble, the result of an injury he sustained six months ago while alight- ing from a San Pablo avenue electric car Mr. Clift was thrown sharply upon the head of a cane he was carrying by the sudden starting of the car. After being confined for several weeks to his bed Mr. Clift and his wife left for a trip to Corn- | 5, wall, England, his birthplace, in the hope that he might regain his health. But he failed so rapidly that the journey was cut short. As a last resort surgeons per- formed an operation last night, but the effort to prolong life failed. The deceased pioneer left his home at St. Day, Cornwall, when 13 years of age, going to Brazil, where he worked eleven vears in mining. In 1855, after returning to England, he embarked for Califognia and at once went to Grass Valley, where he accumulated a large competence in successful mining operations. Later he met equal good fortune in quicksilver mining in San Luis Obispo County. In 1859 Mr. Clift married Miss Jean Muir Smith at Grass Valley, which was his home until 1877, when the family moved to Oakland.
