from the mum power and Pearson

obtained enough free gold out of it in the
winter to support themselves in Portlsnd
uriug the summer. They bad rigged
upacbeap lour stamp mill run oy an
overshot wheel on a creek at 'the foot of
the ledge. They carried ore from tbe
ay streak to it in sacks. A four-loot
ledge widening with increase of depth
that will yield handsome returns by
