 It is pointed out that this strike will encourage prospectors to pan all the way down. It has been the GUS tom with many, and many old-time prospectors at that. to sink right through to bedrock without banning, and in this way it is possible that many higher paystreaks have been ov- erlooked.

 A bronze tablet on one side of the base of the monument bears this in scription:
 This Monument marks the Trail

 Braddock, which left in April,
 1755 to defend the Western From

 the Colonial Danes of Virginia,

 On the opposite side of the boulder embedded base this inscription pa pears on another tablet of bronze.
 "The Cannon used here was ab-

 old Alexandria, April, 1755. The
 Cobblestones composing the
 mount were taken from the streets
 of Alexandria where they were

 One of the old British cannon aban- doned here by General Braddock sur mounts the monument. For many years the cannon had stood upright in the earth at one of the city's street corners as marker and was an object of interest to sightseers By an act of the city council several years ago the ancient piece of ornance, brought from England by General Braddock when he came out to Virginia as gen eralissimo of all the British forces in the American Colonies in the war against the French, was turned over to the Mount Vernon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Reyolu- tion. That organization today formal ly presented it to the Virginia Col Onial Danes under whose auspices the monument was erected.

 General Braddock died July 13, 1755, at Great Mer6ws, about 60 miles from Duquesne, to which place the remains of his army retreated. He was buried at a point now seven miles east of Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
