did not locate any claims. He told
friends of his find, although did not
reveal the exact location, as he in
tended to locate it himself should

ed by arsenic AS is well known
the chief values in the Broad Pass
ores are in the arsenides.
Thrasher, while enroute to the

samples, gave a return of $28 in
gold per ton. Hence the eagerness
to find the lost lode. 1t is believed
to be somewhere on Ohio creek
