captain made up his mind that whom veil
cleaning tinr came around hn would keep
his eye on ina dirt and grI,rl that wa
brought TO the surface
The other day he gave orders ~ clean
the veil and instructed his engineer and
workmen to watch closely for traces of
yellow In tho %and and gravel brought to
the surface. Along in tho afternoon,
while the captain was sitting In the hotel
Office. two men rushed In, out ~ breath
from excitement. their hands full II brown
dirt, They had found yellow particle o In
II and were anxious that their boss should
look the stun over.
Capt, Tumbridge was surprised He eN-
amined the find closely and saw that II was
literally s%prinkled with yellow particles
The workmen added To the heap NJ dirt on
the ice able every few minutes and the
more they brought the more certain wa
the captain that IL was stire enough gold.
There was n mining engineer staying
in theihotel. said the captain, and | showed
the stuff TO him. He said II certainly was
gold, and since there wasn't any sense in
him telling a yarn about 1t and since he
must know gold hen he sees 1t | took his
yellow streaks stood them. Have Il look
at this
The captain exhibited n brown lump
about as big az a walnu In IL was a tiny
yellow chunk about a. big a. a pea There
was half a peck of smaller humps all show
ing traces Of yellow metal.
However" said Capt. Tumbridge. Il am
not going to tear the st. George down and
turn the lot into claims. Not on your life.
Real estate in this town is a good enough
gold mine in itself. What | am going to do
though, is to sink a shaft or two in the rear
lot and see lust W hat this yellow comeSfrom.
II isn't likely there is much there. but then
again there may he considerable and it
won't be much trouble or expense to find
out"
The captain was going to build On the
lot back Of the hotel, but he has changed
his mind. 1t is worth while TO postpone
building operations. he thinks, until the
gold bearing dirt is looked into further.
