Box, who like all other lawyers, has great unbounded faith in the veracity of the human race in general, accepted the Indians story as a matter of fact, and sent the curiosity to Bob Bailey at San Diego.

Or one of these he has gone down abou ter feet, and in a pocket took out hv pounds of ore that yielded S2oo, or a a rate of SSO,Ooo a ton. It has long beel thought, by those posted, that better dis coyeries than the Tip Top V ould be mad in that section, as, a, a very early da. extryagantly rich pieces Gf float we1 found, and much money and time eN pended in attempting to locate th lodges from whence they cane.
