Tho Slip OF His Horse Resulted In the Rider
Discovering q Great Mine.
One Of the most productive mines in
California was discovered through an
accidental fall Of the discoverer. He
was one Of hunting party that had
gone out from San Francisco during the
Christmas holidays. While passing
along the side Of steep hill on a mar
row trail his horse suddenly slipped,
and with his rider went down into the
gulch.
Happening to be the last in the line
and some distance behind the others, he
was not missed for some moments, but
when his absence was noticed the party
turned back to look for him, fearing
some tntoward accident He was no.
where to be seen, but the place where
his horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank, together with the traces of
the fall, was plainly visible. Following
the tracks made by the falling horse and
man, and when near the bottom, the
men suddenly came upon an interesting
spectacle. Just behind a clump Of bushes
which the man and his steed had
crashed through on their way down
stood the horse, apparently uninjured,
while near by, on slab of rock pro-
jecting from the snow, the man was
capering like an Indian at ghost
dance
The first impression Of the rescuing
party was that the man had gone sud
denly crazy, but as he caught sight Of
them he suddenly ceased his gyrations
and shouted for them to approach. They
came, when he showed them several
Jumps Of almost pure gold he had has
tily knocked from the edge with stone
for hammer and announced his dis
covery of gold mine. The sliding
horse had brought up against the ledge,
and the FESTIVE animal, kicking vigor-
ously in the efforts to rise, had struck
off the moss from the stone and dis
closed the fact that it was gold bear
ing ledge of unusual richness. The find
was appropriately named "The Christ
