was carried by pack animal, along
with the thief's camp fxings, into Ward,
where IL was melted into small bars.
The piece, before melting, weighed Just
"a pounds and Is ounces ayoirdupois,
and as il contained but very little quartz
its actual coin value must have been at
least "a 900. The finder of this truly
wonderful specimen was a man who had
been under many obligations to Mr..
Verzan, his employer, and the princi-
pal owner in the mine. When Verzan
met the thief in Ward he greeted his
late employee cordially,as an old friend,
and again offered him assistance, sup
posing him to be in need. This was too
much. The thief, pale and haggard,
