trick of some kind, however, we would
see it out.
We determined 70 vsi. the shaft named
the whereabouts Of which was we'll known
to us all, we having seen it scores of
times. 1t was decided that each man
should be armed with a six-shooter and
that we should take with us three or four
candles and long rope; also a cantcen
OF water and some brandy, though these
last-named articles were mainly intended
for our own comfort and sustenance
Happen what might, we would thorough
ly examine the shaft.
About three O'Clock In the afternoon all
was in readiness and we set outset out
on what seemed one of the widest Of wild
goose chases.
The Maldanado shaft is situated on the
sharp ridge OF high and steep hill, near
ly mile south Of the south fork OF the
north fork Of the Yuba it was about half
mile above where my cabin stood. The
shaft was sunk by Gabriel Maldanado, a
man well known to all the early silver
miners Of the Comstock lode, bat now
some years dead. 1t was sunk after the
old Mexican fashion, and was about eight
feet by fourteen in size, and in it ladders
OF notchcd poles were used instead of rope
and windlass or other hosting apparatus,
the miners walking up and down the
poles and carrying the ore poised on their
heads in rawhide sacks These poles
were placed in the shaft in such position
that they formed zigzag line, like
worm fence, rom top to bottom, there
being little platform on which rested
the foot Of one ladder and the top of the
next below. Thus, in descending the
shaft, one passed from platform to plat
form, and from side TO side of the open
ing until the bottom was reached When
the news Of the discovery of silver in
Washoe reached Maldanado, he abandoned
this mine-whch was hardly paying ex-
pcnses at the time-and all of his Mexican
followers left Sierra County, Cal, and the
gold mine there was completely deserted,
the buildings at and about the shaft were
crushed in by the heavy falls of snow
which occur in that elevated region, and
soon all about that place went to ruin.
Such was the old Maldanado shaft at
the time ! found the note on my cabin
aoor- nothing was left at the place but
a few shakes about the old blacksmith's
forge and a section of a shake roof that
had fallen across and covered about half
the mouth OF the shaft. 1t was a lonesome.
dreary old place.
