Or romantic litcrah,re3 True to this
preference he names his lately discov-
cred gold, silver, lead and copper bear

Gold creek, "The Nanhoc." The writer

Robbins, who are just opening up some
new placer ground on this fork of the
creek They were in good spirits who
would not be if in their shoes and quite
we'll? They had nuggets and coarse gold
to exhibit, the result of a few days primi-
tive mining; one nugget Of the value of
S6.75. Not far below Hughes and Rob
bins, Peter Fowler, Mike Corcoran and
others were engaged in stripping some
slate bedrock with a powerful stream, no
doubt with satisfactory results, though
no particulars were learned, as every one
was very busy.

and will be all winter. Some fine ore
obtained from there was seen. but the
claims were not visited, as those in con
troll were not upon the ground, which, by
the way, is also a part Of M Mount Rose.
