The story of wound received in the Civil
war which sealed the hiding place of fortune
for more than half century and OF strange
trick of fate which cleared the hider's memory
in the evening of life was brought to Los An
geles by the hider's son, j. X. Anderson OF
New Orleans, who Is at the Van Mugs en- route
to the old placer mining fields OF California,
says the Los Angeles Herald.
Anderscn's father joined in the gold rush
and was one of the miners Of the 49 days. He
located claim In Placer county, near Auburn
and Newcastle Within year he had snatched
from the river bottoms fortune. Then the
call of the south for volunteers reached him.
He buried the gold beneath the adobe blocks
of tavern In the vicinity of his claim,
strapped all the precious substance he could
carry about his body and hurried to join the
Confederate army
an engagement with the Union troops by
bullet which tore open his scalp and robbed
him of his memory for fifty years. During that
time, the son says, the parent was like child
with all knowledge of the hiding place of the
gold gone. Before he died, year ago, his
memory of the gold rush returned to him and
he was living again in the past that preceded
his part in the conflict
1t was during these last moments that the
old man told his son and the mother where he
had buried what he claimed was a fortune.
The son is hurrying to unearth IL possible
the buried treasure. Anderson said:
MY father said he buried the gold under
oSrner "a an old adobe tavern patronized by
the miners in the early days. This tavern was
in Long valley at a point halfway, | have
