made their way to the scene of midlife activity to the very spot where some poor fellow now and then had struck it and even now you can find many an old resident about there who will venture to narrate the singular tale of one lucky prospector who feeling exceedingly rich would occasionally shoulder his title and instead of using the usual lead would feel proud in bringing down his squirrel with a golden bullet times were very lively about therein those days and the gold fever had raged to such extent that even women caught it and were carried away by its fascinating allurement of the

gravel is exceedingly good and contains all the way to the bed-rock more or less course and fine gold thus far very little active work has been done by the company and that only preparatory and prospective a pit of fifty cubic yards worked at the commencement yield ed to the company 80 dwts oi gold about 1.70 per cubic yard whatever work has been done on the property has only substantiated
