We we're shown By s. l.. Davidson
of this place Thursday last, seven
ounces of pure gold that was the re-
suit of two pans of gravel from
mine that is now being operated in
the vicinity of the old Boston mine
near the Mokelumne river. The gold
was very coarse, one piece weighing
over an ounce while there were
number of smaller pieces ranging in
value from $3.50 to $40. An old
trenchman by the name of Roydor,
formerly owned the ground and it is
said that he amassed a snug little
fortune previous to it coming into
possession of it's present owner.
Some of the gold is very smooth and
has all the appearance of being worn
by the action of the water in some old
river channel, while some of it is
rough and looks as though it came
from some of the numerous quartz
Lodges with which that part of the
country is ribbed. Tie gravel is be-
ing worked by the drifting process
by the MoSnrley Brothers, Tom and
Hnoh and Eduound StooIon ,,ko
