A few davs since Chinaman working on
Dutch ravine. found in the woods roll of
foreign miners licenses. numbering in all $50.
which he brought to the store Of Mr.. Day at
Doty's Flat. who forwarded them to Sheriff
Henson. The printing is very similar to the
genuine license with the exception Of the
border in the middle Of the check end. Four
hundred and eighteen of the licenses have
the signature of Sam Bell, State Controller,
which is evidently counterfeit signature.
The mystery is where did the Licenses come
