Found Some "Yellow Boys."

Uncle Jonas Marsh, of Scio, was digging a well on his farm near the old Squire Arnold property recently and in his search for water dug down 100 feet. At that depth he had not got water, but the workmen were obliged to cease working on account of the quantity of choke damp that arose and was so dense that a lighted candle lowered into the hole would be extinguished. In digging down to this depth a large quantity of what Mr. Marsh calls "yellow boys," and which he describes as the prettiest stones he ever saw, were taken out. Mr. Marsh did not even preserve a specimen of his find, but when he did go to look for a piece of the stone he found that someone had got ahead of him and had carefully gathered in every vestige of it, even raking the dirt all over to see that none escaped them. The hole was filled up on account of the gas that was in it and Mr. Marsh is now having another well dug. He has instructed his workmen, if they find any more of the stones, to preserve them so that they can at least find out what they are. The party who stole them evidently labored under the impression that he had a Klondyke find of gold.
