GOLD IN POTATOES.


Placer EXcitemeut Herv,
On the classic banks of Wood
River nothing but peace and bappi.
ness to the soul Of man has ever been
known. None Of the ghosts aud
ghouls, or vicious spirits Of genera.
tons long since departed to the world
We know not of, have ever appeared
to intimidate the sturdy farmer, or
turn the even tenor of his way. No
ruins of Pompeii or fossilized remains
of the mammoths of ages gone, have
ever been unearthed, or pillars found
like unto the monument left those Of
Sodom and Gomorrah. But last week
a discovery was made in HALEY that
may be of more vital interest to the
Wood River valley generally during
the present generation, than the lore
in past events from the aigging.up Of
a pile of ruins. A few Gays ago Mrs.
E. S. Chase purchased some potatoes
from All uptown produce dealer, and
while preparing them for dinner dis.
covered small, bright particles spark
ling in the water. The fact was made
known to her husband, who instituted
an examination of the contents Of
the pan, and several large fakes o.
gold were found. Mr.. Chase Their
"cleaned up" the washings from thu
potatoes and took the result to Al
assay Office, where it was found to b,
very pure gold, and worth Is cents
The question that now agitates TIL
minds of many is, where were thos'
potatoes raised? The present suppl,
is mostly drawn from the rancho
down the valley.
