Indian Ike, the lucky Piute who made the wonderful discovery of rich gold ore at Black canyon, in the Humboldt range, spent a few days in town this week. He is not a millionaire, but is on the right road to be one, for it was from his property that the phenomenal gold ore was taken that caused the rush to that section. Nor was it all dug out, for since the discovery of that treasure box Ike has extracted sack after sack of the rich rock which he has sold to jewelers and for cabinet specimens.
The rock is almost as white as snow and fairly alive with little nuggets of gold. Indian Ike, not to be outdone by other mining magnates, can show a big bank roll, besides a gold watch and a chain made from chunks of gold bullion, the product of his own mine.—Humboldt Star.
