A LOST NINE.
The Tragic Legend That Is Associated

The Tragic Legend That Is Associated
With Bald Mountain.
The legend of lost mine has given
to Bald mountain, in Placer county,
Colo, u fascinating interest for pros
pectors. Tradition is that early IN the
fifties of the last century three men
disappeared from an immigrant party
going over the old Gap trail. Search
for them was without avail, and they
were finally reported dead by the
searchers.
Where or how they wintered no one
knows, but the following spring, rag
ged. shoeless and demoralized, they
tiled into Michigan Bluff. Their blan.
kets were converted into sacks, and
with them they brought gold dust TO
the amount of $4,000 or $4,000.
Spending but single night within
the confines Of civilization and giving
no information as to the location Of
their large claim. they were followed
on their return trip, and few weeks
later their murdered bodies were found
In one Of the dreary canyons that scar
the face OF the desoate peak.
Since then many man has sought
this lost mine, but apparently Its i'm
munlty is as certain as that OF the
treasure of Captain Kidd.-Philadel-

The next morning when It came time

her soap--a precious commodity In the

a certain woman, who, ON being ac-

taken It and cast It into the spring

was deeply mortified to learn that her
effort had been In vain.
