lixdtcmunt ngartling the recent
iHmqxt ry of gold in northern liar
noy county is still nt fox-or hont,
with no signs of a e peed v abatement.
The story of the party "of emigrants
who found some yellow mctiil in n
gulch along in the "lOV nnd car
ried it away with thorn, nfterwanls
finding it to ta gold, tins taon re
vived. This is the old "Hlue Huck
et" legend, ihi called because tho
emigrants, toil stained and weary,
declared they could gathur n bluo
bucket full of the yellow tnulal which
they ditl not know was gold. After
the gold excitement in California
many of the wrly returned to fouroh
, for the place where this gold was
j found, but as they had not paid
t strict attention lo" the lav of tho
country, nnd in the absence of roads,
they were unable to find it. On
this ino.it imjiortant question the
Harnev Press say: "It is author
itatix'cly stated that the long lost
Hlue Huckct mine has been discov
ered in what is known as tho Peter
Mortimer canyon northeast of Har
nev City. U appears that an old
prosHH-tor named White has lieen
tracing tho old emigrant trail
through from Snake river, nud found
the grave of the womnn who died a
little over a day's drive from the j
famous Hlue Huckct gold discovery, j
lie has been ataut six mouths on
tho work and since finding the grave
hat made diligent search this way
from it. Ataut ten days ago he put
a man on the road to California with
orders to change horses nud make
H) miles a day. White himself
packed his things and started a few
days later. The rider told at one
of Ida stopping places that his bo.is
had panned out two ounces of gold
from ten pans and had sent him
for friends in California. Thu
parties receiving this information at
once hastened to Harney City and
began hunting for tho discovery.
On Saturday morning there was a
rush for the Peter Mortimer canyon.
Hold was discovered thoro and it is
thought that this is thu rich mine.
Notices were written and pasted on
stoncmnnd men on horseback rode
a race for tho first claims.
The mountains aro full nf men.
The excitement is spreading and
wagonloHils of eager men are coming
into Harnev City daily, from dis
tant localities. Tho wildest tumors
nre allo.it of great banks of gold
dust taing found. It is with the
grealest care that tho news gatherer
can separate the true from Cut false
rejKrts. Tho discoveries aro rich
enough without any exaggeration.
Oold has hem found in paying
quantities in three gulches on Trout
creek. On tho Harney City side
rich claims have been located on
Soldier creek, llatllef nake, Coll'cpol
and Cow creek."
