engaged in mining at the foot Of Niger
Gulch, in Jesus Maria. q small village

five feet from the surface, and within a
space OF eight feet square. One skull was
found with q bullet hole through it. In
the early days the camp was full OF the

mining region, and the general impress
sion is that the parties we're foully dealt
with, although a few persons are OF the
belief that it is an old cemetery. But
from the fact that the skeletons were
found in what is supposed to be an old
cellar and pit, on the very ground where
once stood q large building, which
was used as q dancehouse, Lead Others
to believe that the whole party were
murdered at various times and secretly
buried there.
