faction which was found by Hank Blan
chard near his lime kiln. in Ell Dorado
Canyon. The petrifaction is the STUMP
of tree which could not have been cut
down more than sixteen or twenty years
| ago, as the marks on it are such az nc
one but good chopper could leave; &C
it is fair to conclude that it was fel!ed by
| an American. and none, to the best OF
| our information, ever passed through
| that section prior to that time. The
stump is completely petritied. even to
| the roots. Blanchard intends to have it
dug up and presented to the Pacific Coast
Pioneers for their cabinet. The Report
er further states that Mr.. Blanchard will
excavate a tunnel and deposit therein
another stump and close it up for few
years, believing that it will shortly petrify.
