mayor, perhaps as relaxation from
ariluotis official iluties, ileeiileil
to sink a shaft in his hark lot
Two comrades joined lilnt and
thp work hpciin. The dirt flew, as
with sleamliiK In-own ami strainim;
brawn they delvpd Into old -Mother
Kaith. (Jratlually tin- hole
deepened, and. at last, they struck
the solid rook.
It Is upon lipdiork or close to
it that placer Kold Is usually
found. So hurriedly they filled
their hucket full of dirt and
sci-amhled to the surfuee to test
IhPir luck.
The miner removes most of the
waste mat.-rial fi t the dirt hy
roekliiK It. The residue Is dumped
into IiIm pan and, under water
. he kneads the lurlild mess to
lneak up all remaining lumps of
dirt anil clay. Then with a motion
of the pan. which only experience
can leach, he quickly ' wnshcH
away the wortlilesa dross whilo
the Rold. If any, settles and is
left behind.
'Twtis thus our heroes did. Per
haps they lacked the technique of
an old sonr-doUKh hut Kradually
the mud and dirt and lock were
washed away and the heavier
hlaek sand appeared. Then, as
they watched with hated hreath,
it. too was liunc--Kureka! A string
of yellow llUBKets lay Klt-aming in
the pan!
Since that eventful day, "each
low-descendlnB sun sees, hy the
.Mayor's crew, some mighty di
KinB done.' And each day. too.
they dump more precious dust in
to their huckskln pouch.
"How much?" What iIoch it
matter? The lure of Bold Is like
the lure of woman. The kick Is
In the chase.
Anyway the lust for sold is ,n
the very air and the Inhabitants
are popping in nd out of holes
like Kiound-hoBs on u sunny day-
But wait! Hold everything! N
stampedes, please, at least until
we add a word or two.
v There Is without doubt, much
gold beneath old Jacksonville. Hut
' visions of rich channels yet un
discovered nro hut Idle dreams.
The miners who rushed Into the
m w Bold camp In early days came
mostly from other placer fields
and knew their stuff. They glean
ed the rich deposits of historic
Well (iulch and Jackson Creek
and when those channels dwind
led they searched for ninro. The
town is undermined with many
tunnels, a fact not generally
known.
Not long ago a prospector
found a maze of drifts and cross
cuts near Hich tiulch. Kven Hi"
owner of the place, who had lived
there since is 112 was unaware of
their existence.
Strangely, these taller tunnels,
throp.iiuurters of a century old
seem almost as If dug but ycsler
day. Although untinihcrod. they
have caved In but little. One may
walk through them and see upon
their walls, clear anil distinct, the
marks made so many years ago.
No, these pioneer miners loll
no large deposits of pay dirt rich
enough to work by drills.
lint the bedrock Is broken and
uneven and In the many crevic, s
and on the rims there Is yet Bold.
old miners, who ought to
know, agree Hint If the towiixlK
could he worked by hydraulic
methods. It would yield a rich
reward.
So. after all. there Is a gleam
of hope for those who nro so
busy digging h"lcs. A few. If Lady
l.uck Is bv their side, may win n
modest stake; many will find few
colors in their pans, or more,
and others still, perchance, will
(,rpkerplnnk: Into some old
and long-forgotten drift.

game nnd all it devotee will
get good exercise, at least.

Perhaps it should not. The ques

Hut, regardless of tho merits of

should not have voted to close
the stream at this time.
