CRESCENT CITY, Calf, Sept.
Is. -WI- Disputes over property
rights broke out between landown-
ers and prospectors at the site of
CALIFORNIA; newest gold rush.
One landowner guarded his Sec
ton line with a 80 caliber rifle
and threatened gold seekers he
would shoot if they didn't keep off.
Henry L. Shapiro, well-to-do lily
bulb grower, walked sentry duty,
carrying his rifle along the line of
his 100 acres bordering Meyers
Flat above Myrtle Creek, where
the reported gold find was made by
veteran prospector Tom Cronin.
Cronin, a one-time sheep rancher
who went broke during the depres-
sion, discovered a pyrite outcrop-
ping September 4 in the area Is
miles northeast of here. Assayer
Ernest Hay reported the rock bore
gold worth between $55 and SITS a
ton. When the news seeped out,

We shall now serve you this food
exactly as it appeared on the Pur-

Christmas Day back in 1877. Cine
Purcell House, should it have slip.
ped your mind, was Wilmington
first really fine hotel. 1t stood
where the Bailey theater stands
now.
But we see you grow impatient
in anticipation of the coming
feast. So, without. further delay,
We shall now summon garcon tc
our table.
REAL MOCK TURTLE - For
soup, garcon, we'll have the mock
turtle-the real mock turtle, not
the mock turtle of 1916. For fish.
we think we'll take the boiled sal,
mon with the (get this) drawn
butter.
Now, for the boiled delicacies,
we shall have to decide between
Baltimore ham, mutton with caper
sauce, corned meet, tongue, and
turkey with oyster sauce. Yes, and
we'll have some of these side
dishes, too - bouchees Of chicken,

CAPE FEAR MENU - In Satur-
days paper we offered you folks
some food for thought over the
weekend in the form of a tasty
but tough tidbit labeled blue
Mountain Joe" on our Cape Fear
menu.
Well, apparently nobody has di-
gested the tidbit yet, so while we're
waiting for that to happen we're
going to give you some more food
for thought which should really
set you to bordering SO hard that
you'll plumb wear out your think
ing caps. Also, it should make your
mouth water like Niagara Falls in
the rainy season..
Further, it should make you an
grier than you have been before
in these OPA days of no sugar, no
butter, and no meat.
CHRISTMAS DAY, 1877. - This
food for thought has the advantage
over blue Mountain Joe" of be-
ing tasty but not tough and of be-
ing, actually, food - the wonder
full, delectable, sumptuous food
which grandfather used to eat but
which, alas, seems destined never
to get within molar distance Of
grandfather's children.
