One of the tenderfoots that arrived in camp wanted a job mining. Went to DeadGoogle Her grand42 man's Flat and asked for a job; was told they had all the miners that they could use at present. The tenderfoot said he needed a job, and was told to go digging for hinself. He told the foreman that he did not know how to dig for gold and did not know where to dig. He was told his chances were as good as anyone elses, and told that they would loan him a shovel and pick to go find a place to dig. He asked where was a place to dig, and they told him one place was as good as another. O.K., I may as well start here, as you are digging below. Soon after digging, he came with some strange gravel and asked what the shining pieces were. They told him that was just what they have been looking for. They put on two men to show him how to find more gold, and in a few days they uncovered $10,000.00 in gold, and the tenderfoot went pack East--Two petty slickers cut some hay and piled the hay upon a large rock to make it appear as lots of hay, and had the hay insured and collected the insurance. Later one of these men's house burned up and his neighbor, in sympathy, said, “Suppose you lost all your belongings." The answer was "No, I put everything in the barn before the fire." These two were caught on two occassions of stealing hogs. Later E.W.Maslin became Deputy Naval Officer of the Port of San Francisco. Most graves face east and west, in order to face the sun. Yet one old timer W. Hill,grave faces the opposite direction, off by itself, in the quaint cemetery of Rough and Ready. Hill made a request that he be layed away facing north and south. His reason was as the world turned sround he would be turned head over heels if faced east and west. His wish was to lay north and south, and be rolled over. I have heard that citizens of a certain foreign country are buried with their feet towards their famous main city. This yearning for gold has A spiritual counter-part Just as the eyes of men Range eagerly up and down the Hills and rivers, seeking signs of the Precioug metal.
