! In sDeaking of Granite Mountain, in
! Tooele county. a gentleman informed
a representa- tive of The Herald yester-
/ day that a few years ago, while IN
! that locality, he found piece OF
/ quartz float, not very large, tiiat
/ showed one small speck of free gold
/ in it, but as 1T was very heavy, ne
knew it must be rich, and SO he set
several men at work prospecting for
! the ledge, but they never found it.
! He afterwards brought the piece Of
( float to this city, and upon testing it,
it was found that it carried gold to
/ the value of 81. This float would prob
! ably run from $4,000 to $75,090 to the
! tom, and if the ledge is ever found, 1T
will prove a bonanza to the finder II
is in the Granite Mountain country
that Hon. George w. E. Darsey is in
