The Stegall Placer, near Auraria, was worked by its owner, Mr. John P. Stegall, of Emerson, Ga., for three months, in 1888, water under pressure being used in mining. Mr. Stegall informed me, that he did this work, as much for recreation, as for anything else, and that he found quite a number of gold nuggets, of considerable size, the largest weighing 32 1/2 dwts., and a great many smaller ones, together with gold in fine grains. He stated, that, for the time, it paid him very handsomely. He also said, that, later on, a deposit was found, from which 5,000 dwts. of gold was taken. Much of the gravel on this property has not yet been mined. In addition to the auriferous gravel, quite a number of gold-bearing veins outcrop on the hillsides.
