Several poundu of solid stone I tested therefrom, wi ,h the ex ception of the Prospectors' have seen no ghow on the field equal to it. I mßs fc p i ead m tins instance to a little pilfering, inssmueh as I went without the knowledge of tha claimants, satisfying my conscience that it was a veritable Tom Tiddler's ground In the
