Mr. West would not admit that he
was sinking shaft, but II is known
that ne has visited the district, made

Il. Il. Schalles returned from tne
scene of operations last evening He
said he and his partner had startsN
to sink on their claim. II adjoins the

Schalles said that bedrock WAS eN-

A gentleman who claims TO be IN
the confidence OF the lucky holders oi
the Perrino property, said today that
Two tubfulls of sand were brought III
as soon as the discovery was made
and tnat panning showed a value ol
this rate, that the value would be
from $50 TO $40 per yard. He also
stated that tine gravel contained gold
from the bottom OF the well upward
n distance of l3 feet
The popular theory is that this well
accounts for such an accumulation OF
gold.
This has revived tine story about
the chicken that was found with
gold nugget In It's craw. II is related
that several years ago Bud Sargent.
" ho was sheriff at the time. bought
a chicken OF one of the local meat
markets. After he had taken 1t home
he found good sized gold nugget in
the craw He inquired at the shop
where the chicken came from and was
told II had been brought from
-, til, to
snort distance east of the Perrino
ranch. He went out and prospected.
and Jake Ohlweller. i9er. went our
and spent week or two prospecting.
While he found gold wherever he
found gravel, he did not find any in
paying quantities nor in sufficient
quantity to excite anybody.
