Pocket Gold Hunting.

The pocket hunter is a comparatively
newcomer in the California country, and
only made his appearance during the last
wear and half. He, too, is a prospec-
tor, but he despise5 quartz. lie pros
poets for gold only. and does not desire
to find little of it in huge masses of
flinty rock. He expects to dig hole in
the earth the size of a barrel and take
thcrefrom a fortune in the pure article.
His hopes are neither groundless nor
without precedent. A number of pocll
cts and seam deposits have leen found,
some containing few ounces and others
thousands of dollars. | was shown II
hole a yard square from which -,
was recently taken. The deroSit
was found within a foot of the surface
on a hillside. These pocket deposits
are found in various formations, and
scientific fellows" don't succeed well
in locating them, either. They are
usually found in deoomposed quartz, in
clay seams and sometimes in wash gravel
The mode of prospecting for pockets is
simple, but it, too, requires hard work
and faith. The pocket-hunter selects a
section where extensive placer mining
has been done and where the yield was
rich He conjectures that the god came
from somewhere, and lie follows the
gulches up stream as far as they have
been worked, and there takes pans of
dirt from the surface and hillsides. If
he obtains ''color," or speck of gold,
from the surface, it is a fine prospect, and
he follows the trace carefully, taking the
next painful of dirt to be washed from
higher ground, and so on until the pros
pect fails; then he digs for a deposit.
Occasionally it is there.
Indications are often found where
weeks of panning fail to locate from
whence they have been washed or
thrown; and again, pockets have been
found by mere accident that have thrown
no trace to the surface. A good
prospect may be obtained from every
spot on hillside, and yet nothing be
found beneath the surface.
A pocket hunter will carry and wash
dilt for days without obtaining color.
When he obtains a speck Of gold, how
ever, and if it is the rough unwashed
pocket metal, his chance is fair of find
ing deposit-perhaps a fortune. The
winter season is the most favorable for
prospecting in this manne", as every
gulch then contains sufficient water for
panning, while during the summer the
prospector must either follow water
courses or carry dirt long distances to
springs or streams, and there pan it.
There rethose who frequently find peck
cts, and, even though the deposits are
large, they find them often enough to
prosper moderately well in the uncertain
occupation, and appear cheerful conf
dent and always possessed of little
money. am inclined to think, how
ever, that considering the number en-
gagged, the fortunate ones are few, and
for the amount Of labor performed am
forced to believe that both prospectors
and pocket-hunters are scantily paid

dash up in front of the building, and the
canvas covers are whipped off them in an
instant At the same time the three big
front windows of the factory fly oren,
and the telmsters and the,r helpers begin
throwing the cabbagcs to two men who
stand in each window. They are the
cabbage inspectors, and if head looks
unsound, they toss it back to the wagon,
while lift is all right they pitch it to the
women dresscrs, who, with swift move
ment Of curved knife lop off the outer
