CELLAR PAVED WITH GOLD.
Excavation for New Hotel at Helena,
Mont, Leads TO Discovery.


Helena. Mont. April 12.-That the
cellar OF the new hotel, which is oeins
excavated. is literally paved with gold,
is the belief Of every pioneer resident
Of the city. Estimates of the value
of the placer gold they insist will
range all the way from $500 to 10000.
This particular ground was never
worked in the early days OF Last
Chance gulch, the main diggings being
several hundred feet westerly and
then when the miners were ready to
sluice the tract A. VI. Hotter had
erected a building upon IL.
Two sacks of gravel from the site
of the new hotel some years ago yield
ed more than $45. Joe Paicc was en-
ployed by John ID. Thompson to dig a
sewer trench. In the bottom the bed
rock was trough shaped and In the re-
cess thus formed was q bed of gravel.
Mr.. PAIGE took Il spadeful of the earth
and had ii washed by an old placer
miner. The prospcctor was wildly eX-
cited at the richness Of the gravel and
asked Mr. PAIGE to obtain more of il.
Mr.. PAIGE brought him two sacks of
IT, and a few DAYS later the old miner
turned over TO him SIS worth Of dust
How much the miner kept in pay
ment of his services is not known.
