LEASES AT A

A narrow gulch separates Grutt hill from Poor Boy hill
and Last Chance hill beyond is in turn separated from
poor Bow hill by a gulch and roadway. Both of these
are showing up with splendid results, leases selling at a
bo premium. Last Chance hill is where A. A. Codd is
operating. although he has a good lease also on Balloon
hill. known as the st. Ives. The Poor Boy group on Poor
ROY hill sold while 1 was in camp for $4,000.
From this section the excitement jumped about two
miles to the southwest of Rawhide proper to the Coaehman,
ROYAL and Tiger. These properties are among the best
in the entire district, some prophecying that this will
proye the banner of the camp. 1t is almost the same
as Balloon hill in character of rock, but the veins are more
defined, and there are true walls.
From this section the excitement again jumped TO the
southeast of town, down the gulch about a mile. A shht
had been sunk IS feet on the Windy Point claim to bed
rock. where a streak of placer dirt was struck a foot thick,
that went 500 to $50 a cubic yard. They followed the bed
rock down an incline to the center of the tunnel, where
dirt was found running from $50 to 500 per square yard
with nuggets now and then worth 81 and $3.50.
This created all kinds of excitement and acres and
acres of placer ground in the vicinity were plated and
leased. In January, 1908, four claims in that vicinity were
offered at 81 900. They have since sold for $4,000, and
couldn't be bought today for $4,000. This placer ground
Joins the Rawhide Consolidated on the east. Since this
nlacer development and the finds on Balloon and Grutt
hills, the excitement has spread all over the camp.

THE FIRST

The first discoveries and locations in the Rawhide dis
trict were made in January and February of 1907. The
earliest prospectors were George Anderson, Fred Hughes,
j. H.. Alexander, C. A. Mcleod, c. A. Bovard and Messrs.
Barrett, Keisling and old man Benway. Barrett staked
the Balloon claim, from which the hill takes its name.
Mcleod and Bovard staked the claims of the Rawhide
TOWNSHIP, namely, the Happy Hooligan, Happy Day, Sun
Beam and others. Al Drew came along and located the
l. x. L., while Cal Dunning and Tommy Roseberry staked
the Owl claims, upon which the first placer was discovered.
Eugene Grutt went into camp in August. Until Grutt

The old man asked to be allowed
to do this on the grounds that not
one of his accusers had appeared
against him. He declared that he
was innocent of the crime but claim
ed that he entered the plea of guilty
because he was sick and respondent
and because he had believed that he
would get off easier if he entered a
plea of guilty than if he entered a
plea of not guilty. He said he had
no friends or funds.
Judge Shackleford asked the aged
prisoner if he had not been convict
. ed some years ago on a similar charge
and had served a sentence in the
state prison. The old man admitted
that such was the case but declared
that he did not know that the young
woman with whom he was intimate
was under the age of consent.
Judge Shackleford then declared
that he had no sympathy for the old
man, only pity; that he could not con-
ceive of how a man of his age could
injure a girl of tender years. The
court refused to allow Stevenson to
change his plea and ordered him con-
fined in the state penitentiary at
hard labor for a period of not less
than years or more than 10 years
AS stated by The Sentinel a few
days ago a lawyer was secured fol
the old man after it was seen that nc
witness would appear against him
and an effort was made to get the
court to allow him to change his
plea. The efforts were unavailing
Had Stevenson been allowed to
change his plea he would have beer
released as there was no evidence tc
be introduced against him.
Five other prisoners, every one o.
whom had entered plea of guilt.

None of these five men had any
thing to say as to why they should
not be sentenced.
