Here is a sensation from the Madison
journal:
Our friends, the sovereigns of De Soto,
were much excited last Friday by the dis
e3Overy of some silver by boys who were
dragging a skif, which they had repaired,
over the bank. And now De Soto repre-
sents somewhat the appearance of Cali
1ornla IN its early days. spades being trumps,
and everyone engaged in the work of
money hunting by digging up all the old
gqu!nulng sites, De Soto being considered at
TINS Tune by its inhabitants a second Ell
DORADO. There were some laughable scenes
its discovery.
The money is supposed to have been
buried by one Patrick GuiIfov. who died
about 1869, and consisted of dollars, halves
and quarters. There was about twelve
dollars found.
