LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
Mr.. Boom Tells Of q New Gold
Discovery. ."., \. 4: i. ..s !: !:
Folsom. Cal Dec DAD T!

Folsom, Cal, Dec. 23d, 1901.
EDITOR HERALD: Within the past
few weeks discoveries OF gold have
been made within six miles of our
place, that have revived the gold
mining interests to fever heat, and
the general belief is that there is yet
more gold in California then has
ever been taken out. The only
difference between mining now and
in ''49" is that then, gold was found
in large quantities near the surface
and any man with capiJal(?) to pnr-
chase a pick, shovel and pan, was
just as liable to ''strike it rich''tas a
company with plenty of means at
it's command, while now it requires
an outlay OF several thousand dol
lars before ''pay dirt" can be
reached.
In September last I was employed
to put in the hoisting works and
machinery in what is known as Deep
Gravel Mine, three miles from Fol-
IN and six miles from our home in
OrangevaIe. They had good "pay
gravel' from the start but after op-
Grating the mine for about two
weeks they struck seam of gravel
that washed at first $19O to the pun
and kept increasing in richness until
it reached the remarkable yield OF
5000 per pan. When one realizes
that 'pan" only holds about II
pounds Of gravel one can under
stand how wonderfully rich such
'pay dirt'' is. 1t is said to carry
the most gold ever discovered in
California. This; find being in the
near vicinity where gold was first
discovered in California, gives it ad >
ded interest. -
The gold is found in water washed
gravel; the bed of some ancient river,
here perhaps thousands Of 7ears

posting it where it is now being
brought TO light by the enterprise of
man
The method of mining in this deep
gravel, is as follows: A shaft is sunk
from the surface to 'bed rock lin
this case bed rock is Is feet down.
