main sources Of the gold with which tho
gravel Of that gulch was filed. The ledge
where discovered Ia but half an inch thick.
but is full of gold. He will develop the
property as fast a. possible and learn just
what it is. Some Of the small veins Of
the gold belt have been very rich, but y
Is believed to be the smallest one ON which
location has ever been made in the
camp, and Mr.. Thiard believes 1t is the
richest. It ia located up about the head
of the creek which runs down tho gulch.
