Praduwry on last Monday create-1 a great deal of excitement on our streets by ex hibiting 20 ounces of gold nuggets wr-'rh he had taken o ir of u uocket ca Pickett Creek, tlx mlle. west or t'v,. and the nev was teltiiplied to the Portland papers. The exhibi tion did not excite the old timers here, for they all predicted that the amouDt that he brought out was all there was In the mountain. But on Friday Mr. Bradbury came In again with 13 ounces more safely sealed In a bottle, and predicted that there was several more bottles full In the bole which he would find before he reached the bottom, they began to 9!t up and take notice and several of them started out to do likewise. It takes a great deal to excite an old timer, but the repeated showing of such bunches of gold as this will do the work. Mr. Bradbur;' ha3 for rome time devoted all his efforts to poiket hunting and has round sev eml In the past from wh'ch he has ben able to support himself and family, and It Is hoped tbV. ho has r.ow found enough to ma';a him hide 1 ei dent for the rest of his days. He has sent for his son to come and as sist him In 'he work of tak'.n? o:i trm remainder of the gold which he feels confident Is still in the ground. He says the vein Is clearly traceable for over 300 feet on the surface, and that It would take a large sum to purchase his chances of a fortune. This district has long been noted for the rich pockets that have been found in its hills, but this is the best And that has been made for many years. There Is a large amount of placer ground in this vicinity which has been worthless on account of the lack of water, but when it can bo found as rich as this one can afford to carry the water In buckets. The average yield so far has been about $ 100 per foot in the shaft a toler ably fair showing for a district that has been worked out many years ago. It Is safe to say that other pockets will now be found In the excitement which will prove equally as valuable. Dr. and Mrs. Horace G.
