THE PLACERgCLAnxs.
On the 22d day of February, 1868,
the Plsoers we're struck and profitsbly
worked by several hundred persons
for four or five years, proving to be
most remarkably rich at various
points in the canyon. Many Italians
and q few Americans being at work
even up to the present time. One
firm in Bingham claims to have
weighed over q million dollars 10 dust |
by actual figures in four years. and |
nearly all of the large number of
Italians then ct work had their dust |
weighed by Wells, Fargo & Co., OF
his city. A very large amount of
1ust was never handled in this terri, |
tory at all, for the owners of one
claim every few weeks for several |
Vesrs have elected one of their num-
Der to 60 to San Francisco to sell their |
lust. As further evidence of the |
amount of gold taken from these
1laoers,a company fsix Italians had,
! short time since, nearly 800, 000 on
deposit ia bank in this city, all the |
proceeds from plscers. The fact that
hess claims are so immensely rich,
hows cOnolusiYely that there are
7oluable gold quartz deposits above
or they are without doubt fed bv gold
quartz lodes higher up the moantains.
