Italian Pans Gold As In Old Days Hunts Turin Hills On Every Sunday ~ TURIN, Italy — W - Early every Sunday morning, 71-year-old Giovanni Mattioi packs a 'rucksack with salami, bread and wine. He puts on an old shirt and dungarees, pulls a battered black Stetson over his crop of white hair and, carrying a shovel and goldpan under his arm, trudges into the Turin hills to search for gold. Giovanni Mattioti usually stops at the first stream he comes to. He puts the rucksack in a cool place and hurriedly makes for the water’s edge. Quickly he shovels sand into the pan and then gently shakes it. Hour after hour he repeats this operation, deeply absorted and oblivious to his surrounding. Pehhaps by noon he has found one or two specks of the shiny, precious metal. But this tanned and wrinkled old man of Turin does not care how much gold he finds for he is wealthy. Mattioti made his fortune 50 years ago in Alaska and the memory and gold fever of that time has never left him. “When I am out by a stream with my shovel and pan," said Giovanni, “I'm back in Alaska. I remember the people I knew then. The trees and the wolves, the big brown bears that could crush a main in two or three seconds. I remember the rough towns and the rowdy saloons. I can feel again that strange excitement. Best of all, now I’ve forgotten the terrible hardships and danger." Invested Money Mattioti left Italy when he was

22 years old. He arrived at Fairbanks, Alaska, broke and hungary, but he found a job an hour after he landed at $5 a day With food and lodgings. The work was digging wells and he did it for four years and then struck out on his own. “By 1913 I had $48,000 in the bank,’ k said Giovanni, “I had made my fortune—-You couldn’t help it. But about then the big companies moved in with their modern machinery and a lone prospector couldn't compete. Every year my fortune dwindled as the price of gold dropped, so I decided in 1930 to come back to Italy." Mattioti invested his money in oil and bought a service station in Turin. But he could not forget the time he had spent in Alaska.
