    These two gentlemen, typical "old forty-niners" form an example of life-long friendship between men, that is as interesting as it is rare Coming to this state in Juy 1849, having made the Cape Horn passage together, they have never since been separated, their property interests, their friends and acquaintances being to both.
    Mr. Chamberlain, the elder by two years, was born in Windsor County, Vermont in 1821, residing in that State, Massachusetts and Connecticut by turns, and on reaching a sufficient age he devoted himself to the sash and blind manufacture. In Worcester he met the second named, Mr. Chaffee, a Connecticut boy, born in Woodstock, Windham County in 1823. The latter had learned the trade of wheelwright at eighteen years of age, working at that occupation in Worcester, Mass. The two set sail for California in January 1849 and were six months on their voyage.
    On landing in San Francisco they found employment, repaid at the rate of sixteen dollars per day. Even this pay could not keep the ardent young men, so at the end of two weeks they started for Calaveras County and went to mining on the Mokelumne River, realizing over ten dollars per day for one month. Winter then coming on, they turned their footsteps toward San Jose, where they worked at carpentering for James F Reed, Esq. In March, 1851 they came to Swetts Bar on the Tuolumne, mining there and at Chinese Camp; a portion of the time making high pay, and at other times meeting mostly discouragements. For some time they were located at Second Garrotte, where they mined with indifferent success until 1853 when they returned to San Jose, visiting Gilroy, and at last coming back to Second Garrotte, where they have remained ever since, with the exception of a short time spent in San Jose.
    Their present occupations embrace both mining and farming, Mr. Chaffee attending to the former pursuit, while Mr. Chamberlain's attention is confined to agriculture. They jointly have under their care a very fine orchard and enter also into the manufacture of cider and vinegar.
