So I borrowed a pick and shovel and went to work, and when night came I placed my sack of flour in the hole I had dug and sat down on it. I had no supper; but why should I eat Judge Lynch and Yankee Slide 101 when I had the world by the tail and a down- hill pull?
I sent word to our company to be at Yankee Slide before sunrise the next morning, and they were all promptly on hand.
At the end of two days the excitement was over, and everybody was busy starting tunnels, pitching tents, or building... log huts. At a depth of three feet the gravel was yielding five dol- lars to the bucketful.
Sandy Bar adjoined Yankee Slide, on the river just above. This bar was about sixty yards wide and about four hundred yards long, and as there was fair mining on it, a small town sprung up as if by magic, and there were stores, gambling houses, and of course saloons, which are always present where gold is plentiful.
At the end of the second week we were all running our main tunnels back across to the old channel, which proved to be about seventy feet wide, meantime throwing our loose rocks into the river, while, with our rockers at the edge, the tailings were being run into the stream.
