door of the cabin, they demanded
the gold that had been cleaned up,
and which had not yet been
weighed. McMuIlen hesitated,
looked around, sized up the sit
uation in a few quick glances, and
then turned over tin- pokeful of
the yellow stuff.
The men departed, satisfied in
part, 'but sorry there was not
more gold in the buckskin sack.
When alone, they divided up the
gold pro rata, each taking so much
to apply on what he had coming
for shovel work performed. One
man who had $131) coming «is
stated to have received 28 cents
on the dollar as his share, while
the amounts gained by the others
vary.
McMuIlen, il is reported, does
not approve of the actions of the
men. Humor has it thai lie claims
there was about 92,0(H) worth of

If the amount collected is insuffi
