THERE IS COLL.
Oger Rn Dance 20 the Day Cgs aaed Up
On the Ives Claim.

On aAe ives Claim
The assertion is frequently made by
croakers that no disintorested PARTY has
ever had any proofs that gold came out
Of the Occur d'Alenc mines. In future
we shall brand such statements as false
hoods. We were present last week when
George D. Ives cleaned up his sluices after
Il two days run. 4 strip OF ground, or pit,
about ten by fifteen feet had been partially
cleaned. The work had not ncen finished,
as much luose dirt still covered the bed
rock, aud the crev.ces Of the rock had not
been dugout. At our request, however,
Mr.. Ives consented to make partial
cleanup. We had asked Mr.. Ives as We
watched him shoyeliug the dirt into the
slulcs, II a shoyelfull or pan Of dirt would
show color. lie looked up with an
amused smile and said 81 guess + can do
bet yr BY You than that. Come down
hcra2 We descended into the pit from
'"l. D. We had heep shovclirf; lie tooK a
small pail and dipping up Water poured Il
upon the bedrock whurcthcy were work
Ing, and washed away the loose dirt. In
the CrcyIcgs, numbers Of pieces Of gOll
were found, the largest being worth a dol
lar, and two others hall a dollar Cach
