SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
INDIANS GUARD SECRET
Ofthe Gold, Silver and Lead Mines Near Wilmot
Excitement Recalls Ancient
Legends.
Legends.

Wilmot, Feb. 2S.--The gold excite
ment at Wilmot and Mt. Eaton has
revived many stories and legends Of
the early days. Old superstitions are
recalled and on all sides can be heard
wierd tales of the long ago when the
white man and the Indian were strug-
Cling for supremacy.
The present excitement is manifest
ed in many ways. Farmers who have
pretended to scoff at the idea of gold
in this vicinity have been discovered
digging prospect holes on their land,
and along Sugar Creek bottoms peo-
pie have been seen examining the
gravel beds in the hopes of discover
ing the precious metal. An effort is
being made to lease the land between
here and the Messner farm near Mt
Eaton, but the prospectors have run
up against an Amish law that has put
check to their ambitions. There is a
rule in the Amish church that no min
eral leases are to be given without
the sanction of the society and as
much of the land is owned by people
of that sect 1t is impossible to get the
land in solid blocks, as the gold hun
ters desire. The Amisb are settled IN
this section in large numbers, buying
all the land that is offered for sale.
OLD STORIES.
The story of precious metals in this
section is not new. The grandfathers
IN In rlU 10 q N G
knew not only of the presence of gold
and silver. but also of lead mines that
were of such richness that the metal
could be hammered ont of the rocks
and moulded into bullets. That was
In the days when the old Indian trail
between Steubenville and Sandusky
was maintained, it being the passage
way between the lakes and the river.
The river Indians could always get a
supply of land and frequently bartered
it with the whites. Many a red
checked maiden had ornaments made
of beaten gold or silver and the whites
made great efforts to ascertain where
they got the supply. Spies were sent
after the Indians to watch them, and
it is said that they had been followed
number of times both from the river
and the lake regions, and the trail was
invariably lost at a point near Wilmot
and Mt. Eaton. In the hills around
what it is now known as
ROCKY DALE SUMMIT
were caves and Indian mounds. the
relics of which are to be found to this
day. The country is strewn with fin
arrow and spear heads. shinnint
knives, stone hatchets, etc. relics oI

farm, near the big spring, 1t is said

vicinity show distinctly that 1t was a
