NEW PINOS ALTOS STRIKE A strike of new placer ground has recently been made in Santa Domingo gulch about 1500 feet east of the Pinos Altos road and opposite the goat ranch, by Robert Kirk. After stripping off about four feet of loam, a four foot vein of rich placer gravel was encountered. In four days, Mr. Kirk, with the assistance of one man, took out $36 with a rocker. The gold is worth $16 an ounce. The new strike is in virgin ground from which, no doubt, a large amount of money will soon be taken.
