worked by the McSorley Bros, and
h. Stocker and owned by s. l.. Dav-
idson of this place, an unusual large
cleanup was made this week. In
two days they took out sl6S and in
one pan there was 565, also four pieces
valued at $50 was found. The gold is
very heavy, some nuggets having
value of S2J. There is not doubt
in the world hut what gravel beds OF
equal richness still lie untouched in
this neighbo, hood awaiting the pick
of the prospector If such a lind was
made in the Nevada country the news
would be spread broadcast and pros
pectors and mining promoters would
be flocking in and mines opened up
on all sides But no such luck for
this section, where it can truthtully
be said that as far as mines are con-
cerned, both placer and quartz, some
of the richest in the world have been
discovered, and where still are mines
that with a little capital, coupled
with little energy and enterprise,
could be made to pay we'll for long
time to come. Come now promoters
with capital, let us hear from you,
and show the world that old Gala
veras, and especially Mokelumne
Hill, is still an unknown quantity
in so far as her mineral wealth is
concerned. -Calaveras Chronicle.
