Greetings, my friends and fellow Fortyniners: As sheriff, I am glad I can say 'We have had a year of law and order in this here mine ing town. A ' Lookin' back over the year, some of our diggin's have paid very well. It seems like We have had more than our share ot grade ore. Then there's been many 'veins that turned out B grade. Of course the real volume of gold dust has come from the big leads of grade C ore. And, when you Weigh it up, gold is gold and it is Worth just as much per ounce regardless of Where it comes from. Our sympathy goes out to those prospec- tors who hit that hard blue rock that seems so difficult to break up and which pays such slim pickin's. It causes broken hearts and makes a heap o' trouble. But you know, some of our richest strikes have been in get- tin' through that blue slip strata into pay dirt. I am glad you didn't let it get you down, And now We Will have to git on with the rest ot this celebration. ZAFON A. HARTMAN ' c THE SHERIFF SPEAKS A .g - Q ia - 1 --if A ' ill SX 1' -,'.
