since the beginning of time-since "the earth

abroad in fertile field, to be slowly sifted out
and washed into the ocean, perhaps again to
be upheaved and formed into islands and con-
tinents-abiding places for coming generations.

After Bart had gone, the boys had nothing
to do save watch the purchasers of the placer,
and they gained much valuable information,
which the guide had not been able to give
them, regarding the simplest method of work
ing the sluice-boxes.
When the first cleanup was made, the
miners were in ecstasies, and Jim Hunt said
to the boys, as he scraped the yellow dust
from the rifles of the boxes with an old
iron spoon:
"This is the richest placer mine I've seen
in this State, and l reckon we shall all make
our pile before it peters out"

Some gold had been discovered in other por-

ates of silver had been found in such quanti-
ties that there was no doubt but that ex-
tensive works would soon be erected.

donkeys laden with provisions, he announced
that the road agents had been safely turned

During the four days that Bart was away,
the ravine was entirely changed in appearance,
and that which the guide predicted had hap
pened.
A constant stream of newcomers poured in
to the valley and from there into the rayine,
until the latter had become bustling mining
