I wonder at the treasures found
Upon the mother lode,
Where claims that never peter out
Mark every. winding road.
Our eyes may miss the gold concealed
In gravel and in ore,
But those who seek will surely find
A wealth of golden lore.
I wonder at the innumerable treasures sought by those
who visit the little communities of the mother lode. Prospectors all, their objectives present a bewildering variety.
Monitors have begun to roar again along the mother lode
and mining minded men are coming up to the ghost towns of
the Sierras in search of golden treasure. Many of these modern pioneers are sturdy, well trained men, who know their
auriferous gravel and are capable of appraising the content of
gold bearing rock with uncanny accuracy. ;
If perchance they lack practical experience, and are confronted by problems for which they are not fully prepared,
there is sure to be a long time resident standing by, with a
whimsical grin upon his face and just the right amount of
needed information.

Allowing Campfire To
Escape Their Control
George E. McKune and Joseph D.
Wagner of 610 M Street, Sacramento
were convicted in Judge John Runckle’s court in Dutch Flat Monday
for allowing a camp fire to escape
their control Sunday in Blue Canyon Creek below ‘Midas on the Tahoe National Forest.
McKune was convicted of allowing a camip fire to escape and also
for not having a camp fire permit
and the required shovel and axe. He
was fined $100 or 50 days in jail.
Joseph D. Wagner was given a $50
suspended sentence.
Fire Prevention Officer Rafferty
investigated the cause of the fire.
The investigation on the ground developed definite clues as to the
cause of the fire and the responsible
parties. Sacramento detectives E. A.
Spraktes and H. A. Warren assisted Rafferty in locating McKune and
Wagner in Sacramento Sunday evening, July 6.
Supervisor Ellis states that McKune and Wagner had gone into Blue
Canyon diggings on a prospecting
trip. They knew they needed a camp
fire permit and the required shovel
