Is Sullivan County Rich
in the Precious Metal.
The other day a certain person
who requested us not to metion j
his name came in our utlieo and 1
laid upon our desk a shinning
nugget of gold, gold which lie
claimed he found in a certain un
named spot within the boundry
lined of Sullivan County. We
could not dispute his word, there
fore there was nothing left for us!
to do but trust and believe.
Gold for which in the early days
of the Wild West men and even
women endured the greatest ol
hardships and labored amid great
peril to secure. As that small
particle of gold lay on the desk
befoie u> \w' could not help but
imagine ilutl pcih.ips these valleys
and hills of old Sullivan might he j
rich in the precious metal. We |
even pictured the gold fields of I
Sullivan, mii.i:;g i \vn.- springing
into existauce in a day or night, j
prospectors wandering amid ilicl
mountains with pick and shovel on
their Liu - ...- and the eyes and foot j
steps of a nation directed towaid
us. Is the valleys ond hills of
Sullivan County rich in thetioldeu
nuggets, only time will tell.
