NJ. They left the large piece of metal
near the road, and taking few OF the
smaller pieces with them, started on
and caught up with their train at Mud
Meadows, where they arrived an hour
before sundown. After supper they
made ladle of piece OF hickory
axletree, into which they put bacon
grease and pieces of the metal, and
then put Goals of tire on top, which
they famed to flame for the purpose
of melting the metal, as Western
hunters do in making bullets. The
metal was very difficult to melt, and
the old hunters who observed 1T de-
clared that it was not lead. They
succeeded in melting it, however,
and all noticed that unlike lead, which
melts gradually, it changed from
solid to fnid state instantly, and

lie took piece of 1t to Shasta, where
the miners pronounced it silver; but
made 80 light OF it that he got ashamed
to show it. Believing that it was valu-
able, he carried some of it with him to
Sonoma county, and showed 1t to sew
eral persons, many of whom yet reside
there. A jeweler named Storey pro-
nounoed it silver, and sent it to San
Francisco to have it assayed, about the
time OF the fire in 1851, in which 1t was
destroyed.
In 1858 a party was organized in
Petaluma for the purpose of accom-
pacing Hardin to the Blackjack

Mn. THoMPsoN's OPINION.


Nr Thompson has no doubt whatever
Of the truth Of Hardin story. He is
satisfied that he found the metal as de-
scribed, and that it was silver. He
says that the country is volcanic, and
that the soft, ashy-like formation is
continually crnmbiing aud falling into
the rayines. He thinks that before
Hardin passed through in 1919, cloud
burst had washed out the ravine in
which the metal was found leaving the
pieces exposed as described by Hardin.
4 few miles north of this volcanic
region, the mountains are rocky, and
silver and copper ores have been dis
covered in them. He thinks il proba-
BILE that the Hardin lead might be
found 10y systematic prospecting, or by
pieces of the metal accidentally ex-
posed. Hardin is now searching for it,
but that he will End it is scarcely possi-
bic, as his recollection of places and
landmarks cannot be as good as at the
time of his second visit, seventeen
wears ago ~

And upon examination they discov-
cred a great many chunks OF it along

And their presence created considera-
bic excitement as the settlers in
that valley had been having trou-
BILE with Brigham's disciples about
Carson. which was then part of Utah
Territory. On the 9th of July the
party arrived at the Hot Springs, from
which place they bad an extended view
of the range in which the metal had
been found. Hardin pointed to the
the place in the mountains, where he
supposed it lay. He and Thompson
rode up quite a distance in the hills,
and travelled along the mountain for
seven or eight miles. Hardin thought
the gnlches were too deep. and ap-
peared to be disappointed in the APP
pearance Of the place. He said things
didn't lcok right. Thompson was sat-
isfied be lad mistaken the place. They
searched for it in vain, and finally
gave it up. Hardin declared that if it
ever was found. it would be within a
mile Of cold spring, in canyon about
seven miles northery from the Hot
Springs. The search WAS resumed in
1869 aud in 1870 by parties from Peta-
luna; each of which Thompson accom-
panied, but with no better success than
ut first.
