Monroe Creek Placers Prospect Near Applegate Claim
Monroe Creek placers owners A B Anderson and Sol Barnett demonstrated Saturday afternoon by panning dirt from their ground six miles from town, revealing about 75 cents in coarse gold. An expert says rich quartz ledge nearby merits a tunnel, now about fifteen feet long, to be extended rapidly. Ground potential may benefit the community if the property meets expectations.
