With memories in by the golden days of 60 years gone by and the hub- . bio of 12.000 miners still ringing in his, ears, T. D. Bridger left hos Angolan one month ago. backed by n grub stake of $1.000, with the expectation of a-rlch prospecting trip through Tito. lumne county. .Returning recently. he handed the bulk of his grubsiake money back to. with : of Sonoma the man who had advancesd it. the report that the city stands almost upon the very ground that. he had oxpected to open. and that was ovcr the placer beds where once 21,5 tons of gold dust, were taken out every week. fertile fields are now set with beautiful homesteadu. Toll cypreases shaded the ground where once there allotonod the golden sands of an inviting fortune. Mr. Bridger had expected to find a wild, free country. such no he had known la the old days. As it stands today not a foot of land was available for his eager miner's pick. "i am satisfied." he said. “that poo pie ore tilllna ground for the slow re- turns of oxriouiture when a little be- neath the point of the plow and the tooth of the burrow are fortrneu of a magnitude beycnd estimation. i cannot think of a direction in which audio! could be turned to such ire mondouo profit as in the opening and development of the virgin manlnv around within the very shadow of the 'i'nolmne county courthouse. “i had not been there for more than 55 years. but that country was never tievoloped by deep mining and it stands to reason that where a surface held so much richness. work at a lil- tla depth would nevenl some immense propositions."-i.oo Angelou Times. ~ ..... .7»... worm ; www- ”tam“ lacuna.
