"With the return to town late last

ton, Ohio, the first man to reach the

rich in gold, interest in the alleged
discovery of gold is at fever heat.
"In conversation with Mr. Stout,
he said: 'I was the first of my party
to reach the spot where Mr. Gauthier
and liis associates have pitched their
camp, and I and my party secured
our claims adjoining Dr. Gauthier.
We arrived at the camp at 6 o'clock
in the morning and before 9 o'clock
gold seekers had appeared from
every direction.
"Many were very skeptical and
came away in disgust, but I remain
ed there all day and was given per
mission by Dr. Gauthier to enter his
claim. He was cnly about six feet
deep in a gravel ledge above the
Cadotte River, about 70 miles north
east of Peace River town and from
this I secured several paus of gravel
and in each one washed a tail
flower of gold about three inches
long and about the width of my lit
tle finger and, I should judge, con
taining about 200 colors.
" 'Dr. Gauthier arrived in town to
night and is on his way to Edmonton
with a view to having his gold as
sayed. He has nothing to say, for
or against the strike, beyond the fact
that he has not asked the crowd to
follow him, nor does he care wheth
er any one is satisfied with that they
have seen' ."
