Jimmy opened his eyes wide, and his

In 1879 an old prospector named Joe
Dixon discovered a fine outcropping of

then stood it was necessary to sake it

corners, with name and date written on
one of them, and sink n shaft at least ten
feet deep during the first year. Dixon and
a partner who was with him at the time
saw they had a good thing and pro
ceeded to do the necessary work. They
had an old tape line which had been
given to them by surveyor and used 1t in
measuring the depth of the shaft. AS
the digging was pretty hard they stopped
as soon as ten feet was reached in the
measurement and, feeling secure as to
the property, went off 10 investigate an
other prospect, miles away, in the Aspen
district. It afterward turned out that
the continual use of the old tape line had
worn it out at the end, and the surveyor
had clipped off the first sixteen inches,
making ID nearly a foot and a half short.
Neither of the prospectors had observ-
ed this deficiency, but some months after
ward a practical geologist came along,
saw at a glance that the claim was inn
meneely valuable, discovered that the
shaft was not full legal depth, and al one
