Few residents of The Dalles have
imagined they were paving their
streets with god, silver and platinum
or that every day they were treading
upon hidden treasures: but if the Sim
clair Bros, assayeTs of Victoria and
Seattle, are not mistaken, the real
thing is in the basalt rock that abounds
in this section. They haye opened an
assay office here, and have made tests
of the country rock from which they
say they have got traces of gold and
silver and an abundance of platinum.
They mey be found at Drews' barber
shop for few days.
