Magical Valley
Found by Miner
In California

REDDING, Cal. Sept az
A yerdant valley OF approximately
$40 acres has been discovered high
up in the Salmon river noun
tains In Siskiyou county near the
Trinity county border. II Is almost
certain no human feet ever trod
the meadow tract.
Several attempts have been
made TO reach the valley In the
last few weeks but all have failed.
The mountain valley is walled In
by Jagged granite rocxs OF such
precipitous dimensions that no
one can scale them with ordinary
appliances. A tiny creek meanders
through the valley and finds Its
exit IN a waterfall 500 feet high
over a precipice as straight up and
down as stone wall.
a Trinity county miner found
gold all along the creek, clear up
the precipice that barred his
way. This miner, Gordon Abrams.
climbed peak and looked over
into the valley through n spy glass.
He saw grey streak cutting
across Il. lie believes this is
quartz ledge, possibly the mother
lode of the gold he found In the
placer digglngs below. Abrams IL
almost certain. he says. mortal
man has never entered the valley
and that no one Is likely to enter
II soon.
