situated in the Missouri river, near inc
mouth of Milestone creek, in the soull
central portion of the state concerning
which there has recently been a great

ious range who for several months
had been at work in the ~"digglnss.
The range were supposed 10 De

before their departure shipped IN a
gasoline engine and other machinery
for the purpose, as they minated OF
extracting the gold from the sand.
Some of those who visited the scene
Of the reported gold discovery allege
that while the strangers We're at work
they secured gold dust to the value OF
as much as so and S12 per ton from the
sand which they We're able To work.
1t is said hat the strangers, prior to
their departure. staked off several min
ing claims. and thai they Will return
next spring. The machinery which they
recently received. it is stated, was
found to be not of the right sort TO eX-
tract all the gold from the sand and
that il would require different machine
cry to make their venture successful.
The alleged gold is contained in the
black sand which forms the greater
part of the bar. and one of the strang-
ers during a conversation with Il
Wheeler man prior to his departure,
stated they would put in a small cyan
lde plant in the spring provided the
cost of such a system was not too great.
