When the Family Is out OF Nancy some
body Goes Out and Gets a Little Gold.
From the New Orleans Times Demo
crat: When / was in the blanche
district, in Nicaragua. last month. =
said visitor who Is largely Interesting
in mining in Central America, Il had
an opportunity OF seeing how the lazy
natives tap natures till when they
need some small change. Near our
camp by the river was a hut occupied
BY typical Henduranian family. con-
sisting of husband and wife. grand.
father and grandmother, and a dozen
or so assorted children. The only one
Of the crowd who did anything except
rest and smoke was the wife. At in
tervais Of perhaps week she would
sally out with the family tin-pan. erst-
while used for cooking, and proceed to
an old placer digging on the river
bank. There she would squat, throw
few goHrds full OF dirt into the pan.
fill it up with water and begin the
usual circular motion of gold-washing.
She was very skillful and would keep
little sheet of dirty water spraying
over the edge like miniature cataract.
When the water was exhausted a few
spoonsful of sand would be left IN the
bottom of the pan, and, spreading It
out thin, with bit of stick, she would
go over it, grain by grain, looking for
color. Whenever she saw q speek OF
gold she moistened the stick upon her
tongue and picked up the particle by
adhesion. Each bit of the precious
metal was stored away in quill plugg
ed with clay at the ends, and l have
know her to take out as much as
quarter of an ounce in the course of a
day. Usually her limit was about 81,
and when she got that she stopped.
Then the head of the house would
arise languidly and start for the near
est store twelve miles away. Some
times he would trade the whole amount
for whiskey, but as a rule he brought
back tobacco, salt, meal and calico.
There are hundreds of native families
who live in exactly the same manner
in Olancho Sometimes the woman
will be lucky enough to strike rich
pocket, that will yield a dollar or more
Il pan, but they never dream of wash
ing it out at once and getting a stake.
It simply means that they can secure
their usual amount with less work.
