CU.R Week end gold miners by the hundreds will swarm to the mountain streams in the next few weeks for possibly the best gold panning in many years. Last winter's storms and floods, which cost 38 lives, are believed to have swept new gold deposits down from the Sierra Nevada into the stream and river beds. State geologist William B. . Clark says the week end "sni pers" should turn out in far greater numbers this spring to sift the flood silt But Clark warned the week end prospectors not to expect a windfall, or even a good day's pay. He pointed out that during the depression thousands of job- Jess tried to make a living off gold mining but the average payoff was $6.02 a week. Lucky On But then some might be as lucky as Edward Ebbert who spotted a gold deposit in 1948 near Placerville. He now1 is a rich miner and his Hazel Creek mine still is producing. Or someone may come up with a new idea, like Ben Echols of Dobbins, Calif. Schols was rais ing a few turkeys when he dis covered that when he slaugh tered the birds, their crop con tained valuable quantities of gold. Echols said the birds pick ed up the shiny bits from the soil. He plans to increase his flock. H. P. Davis, a mining consult ant in Nevada City. Calif., says any stream in Northern Califor nia which cuts through gold bearing gravels "undoubtedly has been enriched by the storms." Trying to get advice from these parttime prospectors is practically impossible. An expe rienced "sniper" may do things that seem odd to an inexeperi enced onlooker. He may pan shovelfuls of sand and gravel from a bar jutting into a creek. Or he may meticulously spoon sand from a tiny crevice in the bedrock, a natural catchbasin for heavier gold. The fraternity of snipers gains LEGAL NOTICES NO T I C E IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR JACK SON COUNTY In the Matter of the Application for Chanjre of Name of GUY WILLIAM WOODS to WILLIAM GUY GRANT.

Dated and published- April 27. 1956. GUY WILLIAM WOODS new members each year, many of them newcomers to California entranced with the idea of just going out and digging up gold. This correspondent tried it. On his first day he came up with flecks worth 50 cents. The gold comes from the "mother lode" deposits that many of the old timers still try to find yearlong. But in the meantime the storm waters have brought down the "dust" and the amateurs head into the hills hoping for a heyday. Flu Interrupts McKay's Campaign Roseburg 'IU.R) Douglas Mc Kay interrupted his campaign swing through southern Oregon at Roseburg yesterday and post poned a scheduled visit to the Oregon coast because of d light case of influenza. Speaking at Roseburg yester day, the candidate for the Re publican nomination for the Senate scoffed at Sen. Wayne Morse's reported endorsement of a recent speech by CIO Presi dent Walter Reuther and said "It sounds as if Wayne Morse is getting ready to change parties again." McKay said he ' referred to Reuther's speech calling for de velopment of a new "liberalism" if the Democrats wanted con tinued labor support.
