Show Where Gold Was Discovered in New California Field , f 1 v -; 1 .7 rHi ;V'- &UI II , ai j -jf v w n s r il 1 Lured by the magic word "gold," scores of persons arrive at Iiramer, Cal., daily and begin trudging across the desert country, carrying stakes and location notices. Mining engineers and the Herkelrath brothers, whose strike recently stirred the desert into a veritable stampede, are said to have declared their "high grade" will run $3,000 a ton or more. This picture shows a crowd of mining engineers and prospectors at the shaft where gold was first discovered waiting for a bucket of gold ore to be brought to the surface.
