some nice coarse gold on Smearl
creek. Prospectors have been trav-
cling over this ground for IS years
with little suspicion that below their
feet was lot of coarse gold, Just
the metal they were looking for.
Howard had no idea it was there
either until after the freshet of a
year ago. The high water at that
time washed away the covering
earth and laid bare an extensive
gravel bed 1t looked promising to
the old miner, SO he began to in

found the gravel rich in coarse
gold Since that time he has been
preparing to mine it. He now has
couple of bottles of the yellow
metal that he is showing to friends.
Negotiations are under way for the
sale of the property.
