In Stanley’s own words, “… while my partners dug some holes near the mouth of the Gulch … I made my way up stream looking for a promising bar on which to put down a hole likely to have bedrock. … I commenced a hole on a bar the opposite side of the gulch from where the first National Bank was afterwards erected; and put it down to bedrock….” ....
