A Big Fiih Story.
The biggest fish story of the
Bcasnn comes Irom that famous
trout stream, the south fork of
the Klo Bonito, hut whether it is
a fish story or n gold story the
render will hnvc to draw his own
conclusion. While on his way to
Socorro last Saturday, W. K.
White stayed over long enough
to call at this office and say
"How-do," incidentally relating
a little experience he had lately
while on a fishing trip. White
(his friends call him "Sally" for
short), Will Ferguson, L. K. L,a
may and another, making four in
all, lately went on a fishing trip
to the south fork of the Bonito, a
favorite camping place for fishing
and outing parties. They had
good luck with the speckled fel
lows until they ran out of bait,
and everyone who ever fished on
that stream knows that the next
best bait to a grasshopper is n
grub called a hclgamitc, which is
found under the rocks in the
stream: so they proceeded to look
for hclgamitcs. Now, the moun
tains on each side of the stream
have long been known to contain
gold, and a stream running be
tween mountains is a natural
place to look for placer gold.
Well, the boys waded in, turning
over rocks in search of the grub,
until they came to a place where
some of last years campers had
thrown a lotof empty delicatessen
cans in the creek. Turning them
over they found some hclgamitcs
adhered to the cans, but noticed
also that the cans, which must
have been a bright color when
thrown in the creek, were of a
deep yellow. On closer examin
ation they discovered that what
caused the transformation in the
color of the cans was innumer
able particles of gold sticking to
them. The cans were carefully
removed from tin; creek and
scraped and the scrapings put in
a plate and washed in the creek.
In less than a day they had clean
ed up about ouc-fcurth of cup of
the yellow stuff. Needless to
say irll fishing was called off.
The following day they staked
eight placer claims, and put them
on record. Next year they expect
to make a clean-up that will dis
count the wildest dream of a
Klondiker. They will pay one
dollar a hundred for all the tin
cans furnished, which they in
tend dumping in the creek this
year and panning them next year.
They also intend to make applica
tion for n patent for the process,
which will be known as the "Tin
Can Gold Saving Device," and
after cleaning up all the creeks
worth cleaning, form a company
for the manufacture and sale of
the process. The only explana
tion the boys give as to how tin
cans catch gold is that u combin
ation of mercury and cyanide of
potassium is used in plating the
cutis, both of which chemicals
have an affinity for irold. If the
device accomplishes what is claim
ed for it, it will put the sluicing
and dredging processes out of
business. What Sally wonders
at most is why that inventive
genius, Thomas A. Kdison, did
not devote more study to tin cans
and less to electricity.
