Mrs. Albert Brown of Chrisman
found a wallet containing money.
She left it at a newspaper office
and advertised for the owner.
Asked her name and address, she
said:
“Never mind that. I don’t wan*,
a reward for I might lose my own
pocketbook some day.”
Within a week deputy sheriff

money in the courthouse yard. He
left it at the newspaper office and

Ancient Gold
Mine Modernized
SAN FRANCISCO (A3)—'The old
Quartz Hill mine in Siskiyou
county, discovered nearly 100
years ago, is in a new cycle of op
erations.
Modem rock drills, a power
shovel and a bulldozer, the state
division of mines reports, are be
ing used to break and move the
gold bearing rock. Formerly this
was done by water from hydraulic
giants.
A modern mill has replaced the
old sluice boxes and the ore is
crushed to release its precious
metals.
Many rich clusters and speci
mens of gold have been recovered
from the mine through the years.
One specimen found last year, the
mine division said, was reported
to have contained several hundred
ounces of gold.
they said, Bingham Canyon was
the last town in the once wild west
where no such law was on the
books.
Townsfolk, long accustomed to
peace and quiet, didn’t notice
much change today — nobody
reached for a six-shooter, regis
tered or unregistered. ,
