When the fourth of July came that
year these East Walker miners
decided to celebrate the day. An

post on the river where were to be
had stimulsnts Of chain,lightnine
variety, and the plan was to as
lsemble at her chebsng, and have Il
grand blowout--a glorious Inds-
pendence Day drunk.
One man among these placer
mines did not approve of the pro
gramme for the celebration. He
knew there would be a big drunk
with a chance for several rows and
fights and did not want to be
mixed mp in the affair. Early on
the morning OF the fourth
he left Dogtown and wan
dered among the hills by himself.
He took a course that led him
down toward Mono Lake, and for
some hours strolled about among
the low barren hills. The day
was fearfu. hot, with no tree shade
or place to rest. 10 escape the
broillng heat the miner descended
into a narrow and deep canon and
there stretched himself out on the
ground in the shade OF big rock.
While lying upon the sand in the
bottom Of the ravine, face down.
ward, the man was taken with
fit Of coughing While coughing,
his eye caught the glitter of gold
on the ground almost under his
nose. His breath had blown away
some Of the light surface sand and
exposed to sight several grains OF
gold. As he lay there be began to
stir up the sand with his fingers,
at the same time vigorously blow
ing away the light surface dirt.
After minute or two OF this
very primitive kind Of dry washing
be saw the ground all alive and
sparkling with gold; indeed the
bedrock. which had upon IL only
tive or three inches OF sand. was
completely covered with fne gold.
The miner had just under his nose
in spot no larger than the palm
OF bis hand more gold than he
could have rocked out on the East
Walker in a week.
After stalking out claims for HIM
self he brought over several OF his
Dogtown friends and half a dozen
men or more soon made snug little
fortunes. The gulch WAS nowhere
more than from few inches to
three or four feet deep, but the
gold was there by the pound. OF
course there was a big excitement
and q rush from California and
other places, bnt only the few men
who secured claims on the upper
end of the main canon got away
with the "piles" A town was laid
out and for some months the place
doomed, gold dust being used by
everybody instead OF coin, just as
10 California in the esrly days.
And beautiful dust it was, most OF
it being of the size of grains ci
rife or blasting powder. The find.
ing of the Mono diggings led to
