OLD TIME GOLD MINE

old Willard Mcdonald mine at Mount

opened by Frank Everett. Excel
lent ore is reported at the face O. the
old workings.
In the opening of this old property
is would be interesting to get line
on the amount Of gold taken out by
the original owners, Willard and Nc
Donald. During the seventies the two
old prospectors found and opened this
ground They developed by fol-
lowing the high grade gold vein and
no systematic mining was ever per-
formed
At that time the branch mint was
running III Carson and the two stamp
mill erected by the partners supplied
that the two took out considerable
over S200,000 and spent every dollar
Of it.
When they came to Carson the bull
lion was deposited at the mint. By the
end OF the day lat sack OF gold CON
was turned over to the partners. They
first bought a supply of grub and
settled all their bills, then the propo-
sition of painting Carson a deep Grim
son hue followed They let lurid
streak from the depot to the Johnny
Myers saloon. 1t only took a few
days to make their clean up and the
two went back to the diggings.
