The discoverers, two down on their luck prospectors, while digging a trench, struck some odd-looking, blue-black dirt. They noticed it was a sudden change from the yellowish gravel and clay in which they had been digging. As any change was welcome, they at once concluded to try some of the curious-looking stuff in their rockers. The result astounded them. Before, they had only been taking out a dollar or two per day, but now they found the bottoms of their rockers covered with gold as soon as a few buckets of the new dirt had been washed. They found that they were literally taking out gold by the pound. The rest was Virginia City history where many men got rich. I even worked underground there in the 1980s.
