EL PAsOAN TELLS Of

float in Poverty gu1ch, sunk shaft and
then in 1880 gave an option on the
claims which afterwards were called
the Ell Paso and Gold King mines.
1.-THE purchasers showed W. s. STRAIT

some of the ore, and he went at once
Womack's find. Meanwhile, a pros
pector named Dick Houghton brought
down from the Lone Star claim on Gold
Hill samples of rock carrying a mineral
he thought was galena- Stratton ex-
amined it with his glass, doubted its be-
ing galena, but saw in the rocks cubes
of rusty gold. The socalled galena was
telluride of gold, but none of these men
knew it.
But the free gold was enough to in
duce Stratton to go up and locate a
claim next to HOughton's Lone Star
This is now the Gold and Globe prop

gold float at the head or Wilson's
Creek, but found no vein, although they

about this time an old prospector
named Bill Fernay came along with
some float from what is now Battle
mountain, and Stratton and Troutman
then located the Black Diamond near
the find, which is now one of the Port
land holdings. Next day, Stratton
found a granite OCtcrop down the hill
and located 1t, but didn't think much of
1t as it only assayed So to 81 Sud
