neers over 70 examine and 10 report
upon the mineral deposits Of this To-
cality. They were received by Major
Martin McG.nnis. who put them in car
riages and took them around the camp.
As they were going mp California

out of the carriage and commenced

black bowlder thst Icy alongside the
road. The major watched them ges-
ticuIating to one another, and he final
