They could not waste davlight, The old lanterns with horn sides. or perforated tin. inside whieh a solitary candle burned, were in great demand. Women in their homes cooked and put up hampers of food for the men. packed bed- ding and made the little canvas bags that men fastened to their belts to receive the nuggets. Meanwhile. visions of what this good fortune would mean to all lightened labor. Knowing it was necessary to have expert knowledge as to the value of the mineral. samples were sent out to be assayed. This took some time. {or communication with the outer world was painful- ly slow. Awaiting reply, men in good faith dug and picked with might and main.

Later, in the gladness of youth, it was full of charm, and now, in the grey-tinted evening of life. its first memory picture is as fresh as ever.
