Dusty Plaque Is Reminder
OF DOgfOlUn's s Finest Hour

MEGALIA, Calf. (P)-A bronze
plaque along a sunbaked canyon
road is all that. stands today as a
reminder of Dogtowns finest hour
the day in 1859 when 54-pound
gold nugget was found.

saloon at Dogtown when several of

the poker table where we were
playing, amounting to about $1,000

before l responded to their request.

desire They picked me up
from the chair -. and set me on
the bar and demanded the drinks.
Thinking some calamity had be-
fallen the mine, and wanting to
