where there are excellent indications
and the other on Forty Mile creek, $50
miles further inland where there are
good probabilities OF a strike. Ed

men are near the coast. while Will
Hatch and George Whittemore are
wintering in the interior.

nuggets which the party dug and says
that those who understand the quail

are much richer than the real Klon-
dixie gold. Located as they are the

claims if others strike rich diggings
