$400. At noon, on his way back
to the house, he crossed Spring
Creek and came upon a soldier

quartz into a cotton sack. Cleary
asked If there was any objec.

tons, leases and prospecting got
under way.
Local residents became inter.
ested In identifying various
ores, such as sugar quartz, rose
quartz, honeycomb quartz, gin.
gerbread and hickory bark.
They also were learning to tell
fools gold and the real Mccoy
and there was plenty of both.
Test pits were sunk along the
veins under the County :. the
quartz veins that extend North
and South from Alabama to
Nova Scotia with 0utcroppings
In the Potomac River area. Gold
was found In number of spots.
OF interest, too, was the FLOAT"
to be found and picked up by
hand In neighboring fields and
forests. Float Is vein quartz
broken away from the mother
lode long ago. Assay reports on
Montgomery gold were glowing.
With the prospectors, native
gold fever, and the options,
there came spectators willing
to pay high prices for former
farm land. The old National Ho.
tel in Washington was their
headquarters. They came to
Great Falls by riding a trolley
to Cabin John bridge and at
that point hiring two-horse rig
for the balance of the trip
some five miles-to the mining
sites. Even as late as 1912, this
was the only mode of transpor.
tation.
The Dayton wagon and Liz,
the spirited gray mare of w. T.
Lynch, stepfather of Terry In
gals, provided transportation
for the return trip i. the wag-
on always loaded with bags of
sample ore for an assay office.
First shaft of the old Mary.
land Mine was sunk less than
a hundred feet from Macarthur
blvd, to a depth of 1875 feet
with tunnels at the so and 100
foot levels. A lotion stamp mill,
hoist and compressor powered
by steam from two boilers was
installed.
When the second and last
shaft was dug, IL was hoped
to go 800 feet where It was
believed the shaft would cut
the vein. On the night
of June Is, 1905, the crew had
finished drilling round of
holes and was ready to blast.
Before going underground,
however, the miners stopped in
the hoist house for an extra nip
from the bottle. They had with
them a box of dynamite, ready
to load, which they placed on a
bench in the hoist house. One
miner, with a nip too many,
placed his hat with lighted min.

galena and free gold similar to
that taken from the Maryland;
and the Ford Mine on the north

Ford Mine property extended to
the east bank of the Potomac a

So far as is known, he is the
last of Montgomery's miners
and the only man in these parts
who knows from underground
up the real and colorful story of
the days Of the gold craze along
the Potomac.
Montgomery County's princi-
pal "diggings," known as the
Maryland Nine" was the larg-
est gold operation in the State.
1t was In intermittent operation
from the turn of the century
until World War II when the
hoist brought the last of the
miners up the 200-foot shaft,
and the tunnels through the rich
vein of quartz were closed down
forever. From beginning to end,
1t was a hard luck mine, fated to
end as 1t begarl---on the verge
but never reaping great riches.
Maryland Mine was located on
210O acres of land between what
now is Macarthur Blvd, and the
river. Faint outlines of the mar
row road which led back to the
main shaft and mill can be trac.
