Gold was discovered in California in

eovery was accidental in both cases,
and the fact created the impression that
mines were ''lying around loose:" Ad-
venturers drifted about in hope OF
stumbling upon mine" Mr.. Thayer,

gold in California, discovered the dead
body Of man who evidently had been
prospecting" "Poor fellowl" said one
Of the trio. "He has passed in his
checks" Lets give him a decent
burial" said another. "Some wife or
mother Will be glad II ever she knows
it." They began to dig grave. Three
feat below the surface they discovered
signs of gold The stranger was buried
in another place and where they had
located grave they opened gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted into
Leadville awoke one morning without
food or money. He went out and shot
a deer, which in its dying agonies
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
Of gold. The poor man staked out a
"claim" and opened one Of the most
profitable mines ever worked In Lead
Vile. dead Man Claim" the name
given to another rich mine in Leadvflle,
was discovered by n broken-down miner
while digging grave. A miner died
when there were several feet OF snow
on the ground. His comrades laid his

for twenty dollars 70 dig grave. The
Qraycdigger, after three days absence
was found digging mine instead OF
