minder of Early DAYS.

Reminiscent of the old DAYS was the
exhibit of placer gold from Bingham that
John Strickley made yesterday The
cleanup was the result of a few weeks
work on the part of Bat Gardella at the
old ArgOnaut placer, which has been
owned by Mr.. Strickley for about twenty
three years and which was operated bv
other people previous TO that time. The
gold IS very coarse and weighs one and

ing the two months or so that water was
plentiful several thousands of dollars
would be cleaned up. Since the discOv-
cry of gold in the camp by the soldiers
who, under General Conner, established
Fort Douglas, the property has produced
several hundreds of thousands of dollars
and the channel is not vet worked out
by any means. For the past few years
little has been done with it other than
by the leasing system, but Mr.. Striclxley
