The discovery of the famous Trojan
mine in Calaycras county. Cal. is curl
Gus as an illustration of pure luck and
doubtless has heartened many n dis
couraged miner. In January. 1863,
Henry Becker. q German. and John l..
Trimmer Connecticut man, two poor.
ragged. discouraged mining prospect
ors. went into the mountains OF Gala
veras county to cut oak wood for fuel.
They expected TO make something like
$50 or $40 each per month during the
winter by the sale OF the wood. They
made their home in an old abandoned
miners cabin. a heavy fall of snow
had covered the ground TO the depth Of
two or more feet.
one day the two men built a great
bonfire Of brush. The heat melted the
snow and left an area of hot earth.
Becker determined 10 make an oven
out of the hot ground. and, securing a
haunch Of deer meat, he began the
digging of n hole in which TO bake
it, At the depth OF two feet he
came upon 2 bed Of rock. He had been
a prospector too long TO resist the temp
tation Of examining the rock, and. ac-
cordinCly. before placing the meat in
the hole he broke off n piece of the
rock.
Then, after the venison was buried
and roasted. he examined the broken
bit Of rock carefully by the light of his
cabin Candle. To his very great aston
ishment. ii proved TO be what miners
call live rock, assaying 5000 to the ton.
For several months Becker and Trim
mer kept their great find a secret. in
the meantime gathering information
concerning the dip angle and length
and breadth Of their new discovered
ledge Within n year from its discOv-
cry this mine had made Becker and
Trimmer rich.-Philadelphia Times.
