OFFICE AND RESIDENCE,
^
After laboring a short time
the old prospector drifted against a
boulder,
and in removing it he
found that it was impregnated with
gold. Tho boulder weighed about
200 pounds. The old man broke it
into small pieces with a sledgo ham­
mer, and putting it into racks
packed it on a horse to Port Orford,
about 40 miles distant, over the elk-
beaten trails of the mountains.
From Port Orford he shipped it by
steamer to the smelter at >San Fran­
cisco, and received ns a prize for his
labors $2700 in gold coin.
Since the aforesaid event, many
tunnels have been drilled into the
side of this famous mountain, one
tupnel 1100 feet in length, which
has long since caved in and dis­
appeared from sight, representing
many thousands of dollars.
After breakfasting with Mr.Moore,
Mr. Greer and Capt Walker de­
parted for Mr. Currier’s gold “dig­
gings,” situated 4 miles distant on
Poverty Gulch.
En route to the
Currier camp they fished in the wa­
ters of the crystal streams, John­
son and Poverty creeks, and suc­
ceeded in making a good catch.
The camp was reached about noon,
in time to dine with the genial mi­
ners.
After dinner, escorted by Mr.
Currier, they wendpd their way a
few paces above tho camp to the
tunnel, from a pocket of which was
recently extracted several hundred
dollars of the precious “yaller”
metal. While strolling about at the
tunnei, with the consent of its pro­
prietor, the “ two companions” pros­
pected on a small scale at the dump
at the mouth, and report that they
succeeded in picking up a few beau­
tiful specimens. «
With
an au revoire to their
friends, the two travelers descended
the gulch to the mines of the Divil-
biss Brothers.
This mining com­
pany has a large quartz mill located
on the banks of Poverty creek,
about half a mile below the Currier
mines.
The tunnels, some half
dozen in number, are located in the
mountain some distance above the
quartz mill, and the ore, gravel, etc.,

reached about 11 o ’clock Thursday
morning.
Salmon lake, which is about a
mile in length, was formed only
about five years since by a moun­
tain dividing, one part sliding down
into a canyon, through which Sal­
mon creek had cut its way for ages

curred.

of the mountain, with its mass of
huge boulders, mammoth trees, some
of which are over two hundred feet
in length, and a conglomeration of
sand uud gravel which dams the
creek almost entirely, affords him
a spectacle almost unsurpassed for
its remarkably peculiar formation.
Camp Walker, as lias been pre­
viously stated, is situated on u
slightly elevated plateau near the
head of the lake on the homestead
owned by Capt. Walker’s father, and
for whom the mountaiu resort was
named.
Salmon lake affords su

upon their arrival at the camp, Mr.
Greer and Capt. Walker, with fish­

lake, and ere lunching time had ar­
rived the boys angled sqme forty of
the fiuy tribe, a portion of ’ which
catch graced their dinner table.
The “ two companions” sojourned
at Camp Walker until Friday after­
noon, enjoying themselves “ bach­

PATENTS
NOTICE T o lr a iO R S .
There was never a time in the his­
tory of our country when the de­
mand for inventions and improve­
ments in the arts and sciences gen­
erally was so great ns now.
The
conveniences of mankind in the fac­
tory and workshop, tho household,
on the farm, and in official lifo,
require continual accessions to the
appurtenances and implements of
eacli in ordor to savo labor, time and
expense. The political change in
the administration of government
does not nffect the progress of the
American inventor, who being on
the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, doos not permit
tho affairs of the government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrep­
ancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing a competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and
prosecute an application for patent.
Valuable interests have been lost and
destroyed in innumerable instances
by the employment of incompetent
counsel, and especially is this advice
applicable to thoso who adopt the
“ No patent, no pay” system. Inven­
tors who entrust tlieir business to
this class of attorneys do so at im­
minent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never con­
sidered in view of a quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain
the fee then due.
