Mine Lost for
Years Believed
Found in Idaho
Partners Fight, Survivor Is
Unable to Locate the
Diggings Later.

MOSCOW, IDAHO.-A legendary
hole of fortune-the lost Wheelbar-
row mine-is believed to have been
discovered at last on brush-cov-
cred slope of Gold hill in the Pan
handle of Idaho.
A story relayed from person to
person the last several decades told
of q mine that yielded SIC, 900 in
gold before the two partners who OPP
Grated it quarreled, and one left the
other for dead to return years later
only to find he was unable to find
the diggings.
Finally, the remaining partner
died-his search still futile. Behind
he left the story of the mine he said
could be identified through the
,wheelbarrow and pots and pans it
contained. AS time went on and
the tale circulated, it became known
as the Wheelbarrow mine.
In June, workers of the Fitsum
Mining company, north of Potlatch,
found the weed-grown entrance of
an abandoned mine. Curious, they
dug out the front. Thirty feet into
the mine was the remains of an old
wheelbarrow, its whisky barrel
slaves crumbling to the touch.
Human Bone Found.
But perhaps more important was
the discovery of what officials Of the
company said was a bone-part of
human backbone. Also, lying on
the wheelbarrow were several pieces
OF gold-bearing quartz.
The company plans to build
road into the mine and re-timber it
to determine whether it is the lost
digging from which $4,000 in ore
was taken more than a half century
ago.
A pioneer of the Palouse country,
w. H. McGahan of Troy, knows the
legend of the lost mine well. In
1908 McGahan met an old-time min
er named Casper, who assertedly
was the surviving partner. AS Nc
Gahan tells it, this is the story Cas-
per related to him:
my partner and I packed into
the district from Walla Walla,
Wash, the closest town in the early
days.
1--WE worked over the different
mountains around Moscow and
opened up rich vein of gold-bear-
ing ore. We crushed the rock by
hand and PANIED the gold. AS Indi-
ans still roamed the district, we
lived in the mine.
AFTER taking out SIC, 900 in small
nuggets and dust, we prepared to
return to civilization.
Left for Dead.
Getting ready to leave, we quar-
relied. struck my partner with
pick, took the gold and left, believ-
ing I had killed him. I went down
to California, lost most of my money
and then came back to Portland.
There, I heard that my partner had
not died.
Twenty years had passed, but
thought could find the mine again.
However, the shrubbery and trees
had grown up and I was completely
lost. remembered the mine was
on the south slope of mountain and
inside Of it was a wheelbarrow and
pots and pans.'
McGahan said Casper spent a
year looking for the mine before he
died. The fact Casper returned to
this territory voluntarily and was
convinced the wheelbarrow and
cooking utensils would be found in
the mine made McGahan believe
Casper's partner died in the tunnel.

bright red apple.
He walked bravely up to the

It is Predicted Log race, all boats
theoretically supposed to cross the
finish line at 3 p. m.
Course this year will be 265
nautical miles long, starting and
ending directly off the pavilion at
Point Defiance.
From the starting line, the boats
will lay their courses to clear
Robinson Point, thence to a round
a buoy set in mid-channel halfway
between Pully Point on the MAIN
land and Beals Point on Vashon
Island, thence back to breast La
kota dock, and to the finish line.
Tricky Feature
AS always, engine speed must
remain unchanged throughout the
race.
Each skipper sets his own start
ing time, estimates the time he will
pass each control point-and hopes
to cross the finish line smack at 3
o'clock.
However, one unusual fea-
ture has been incorporated in
this years race:
At the turn-around buoy between
Pully and Beals Points, instead Of
round the buoy as it normally
should be when reached, the COM
peting yaehtsmen are required to
make the actual turn-back at the
time they predict they should, re-
CARELESS of whether they've over
shot the mark or not yet reached it.
Pre-Event Plans
Evening before the race day,
members of T. Y. c. and their
friends will stage years end
cotillion, complet win appropriate
refreshments.
In accordance with the club ira
dition, all hands will retire to their
respective craft for a pier-head
cruise, thus enabling them to be
on deck bright and early for the
breakfast TO be served racing morn
IN the clubhouse.
