with two partners, n clnini on the North

ing that, as long as we could do reasona
bly well where we were, it would be bad
policy to leave our claim tin J team over
tho country hi carch of better diirgins.
One evening, however, when the results
of our united day's labor were declared to
be five dollars, 1 came to tl.e conclusion
that perhaps wo could not clo belter than
make a liltle trin en in the pniohhorhood
