Some younger men will vome along and lengthen it sut _a little, and lay him in hisgrave. The old miner will have passed on to prospest the vutcroppings that star the floors of heaven, not numerows now; but I saw bim last summet- high up on_the hesd watern of the Sacramento. His face is setforever away from that clvilization which has passed him by. He is call- eda trampnow. And the new, nice poople who have elid over the plains mn a palace car, and setiled down there, ‘set dogs ou him sometimes when he comes that way. I charge you treat the old Ci fornian well, whenever you find him. Ho has seen more, suffared more, practised more_eelf-denial, than can now fall to the lot of any man. And though he may die there in tho pines on the mighty mountain, while still feebly mearching for the golden fleece, do not forpet that his life is an epic, nobloas any handed down from out the dusty eld. I implore you treat bim kindly. Some day u fitting poet will come, and then he will take his place among the heroes aud gods. But thero is another old Californian, a weari a0, the succassful one. 0, ia gotting gray. But he is a power in the land. He is a prince in fact and inact. What stratige fate was it that threw diist in the eyes of that old Californian, sitting by the trail high up in the mountsin, and blinded %im so that he could not see “ue gold just withinhisgrasp a quarter of acentury ago! And what good fairy was it that led this other old Californian, now the banker, the rail- road king, or senator, to where the mountain gnomes had hidden thelr gold of old} Whatacoidental beggars and princos we bave in the world to-day! But whether beggar or prince, the old Cal- ifornian stands a head aud shoulder taller than his fellows wheraver you may find him. This is a eolid granito trath, A fow years ago a steamer drow in- 0 to the bay of Naples with a Jot of passengers, among whom were a smail party of Americans, The night had been rough and the enip was behind time. It was 10 o’clock already, and > breakfast. The stingy captain had resolved to economize. A stout, quiet man, with a stout hickory stick, went to the captain and begzed for a little coffec, at least, for his ladies. The captain tarned his back, fluttered his coat tails in the face of the stout, quiet man, and walked up his deck. The stout, qulet man followed, and still respectfully begged for something for the ladies, who were faint with hunger. Then the captain turned and threatened to put him in irons, at the same time calling his officers around him. The stout man with the stout _stick very quietly proceeded to thrash the captain. He thrashed him till he could not stand; and then thrashed every officer that dared to show his face, aa well as balf the crew. Then he went down and made the cook get breakfast. ‘This was an old Oslifornian. ““Dave Colton,” as we used to call him up at Yreka. Of course, an act like that we ishable with death almost. on the high seas” aud all that sort of offance, was charged; and I know not how much gold it cost to heal the wounded head and dignity of the cap tain of the ship. But this Californi- an neither knew the law nor cared for the law. He had a little party of Indles with him, and he would not seo them go hungry. He would have that coffee il it cost him his head. Dear Dave Colton! I hear he is dead now. We first got acquainted one night in Yreka while shooting at each other. And whata fearful shooting affair that was! Many a grizzled old minor vividly, although it took place more than s quarter of a century ago. It would make the most thrilling chapter ofa romsnce orthe final act of a tr-'gady. o crowd a whole book briefly into afew words, the Yrekaminers insisted ™ | on using all the water in Greenhorn creek by leading it through a great ditch from Greenhorn over to Yreka Flats. The Greenhorn miners, about five hundred strong, held a meeting and remonstrated with the miners of Yreka, who numbered about five thousand. But they were only Iaughed at. So, on the 23d day of February, 1855, they threw themselves into a body, and marching down, to a .0an, they tore out the dam and sent the water on in its natural channmel. I say toa map, and, I might add, toa boy. ForI, the only boy on Green- horn, although quietly officiating 8s cook in the cabin of a party of miners from Oregon, was ordered to shoulder a pickhandle by the red-headed leader, Bill Fox, and fall in live. Iought to admit, perbaps, that Igladly obeyed— for it flattered me to be treated as if I wera & wan, even by this red-headed Trish bully and desperado. Iremember that on the march to the dem the quiet, peace-loving men of Quaker profiivitiel were found still at work. On their declining to join us, Fox ordered his men to selze them and bear them along in front, so that o | they should be the first exposed to the bullets of Yreka. Had the mob dispersed after des- troying the dsm no blood would have been shed. But, unfortunately, the Wheeler brothers rolled ot a barrel Por Passage apply to C. B.

Some wortbless fellows got drunk and went to Yrek, bossting of their A fool work of destruction. They were ar- rested by Dave Colton, then sheriff of Siskiyou county, and_thrown into prison. The news of the arrests reached us at Greenhorn about dark, and in half an hour we were on onr way to the ¢ unty seat to take the men out of jail. “Some of our own men were half drunk, otbers wholly 8, and all were armed with six shooters} We ran forward as we ap- proached the jail, platols in hand Being nimble-footd and having no better eense, I was among the first. Sheriff Colton, who had heard of our coming, and taken up position in the jail, promptly refused to give up his prisoners without process of law; and we opened fire. The sheriff and his posse answersd back—and what a scattorment! Our men literally broke down and swept away board cabins and fences In their Sipht, Bat Lore were some that did not Gy. _One Dr. Stone, the best man of our 300, I think, lay dying in the jail yard along with a few others,and there were men of out party who would not desert them. The fight lasted in a loose scrt of fashion for hours. We would_fight a while and then patley a while. We were finally, by some kind of compromise not found in iaw. books, allowed togo back with our prizonors and our dead and wounde?, This was known as the “Gresnhorn We threw up breastworks on Green- horn, and waited for the sheriff, who had been slightly wounded, to come out and attempt to make arrests: But be never came. And I never met alm any more till his trouble in Na- ples. I wonder how many of us ara of the north still remembers it all | g alive to-day! I saw the old earth- worka only last year. They are almost levelled now. The brown grass and weeds covered them. As I climbed the hill to hunt for our old fortrees, a sqairrel scampered into his hole un- der the wall, while on the highest rock alittle black lizard basked and blinked In the sun and kept unchal- lenged seatinel, 1 remember when wo came to bury the dead. The men wore mighty sober now. Wa could hot go to town for a preacher, and so one of our par- ty had to officiate. That was the saddest burial I over saw. The man broko down who first began to read. His volce tremblod 8o ho could not get on. Then another man took the Bible and tried to finish the chapter ; bat his voice trembled too, and pretty soon he choked up and hid his face. Then every man there cried, I think They loved Dr. Stone so. He was mere boy, yet a graduate, and beauti- ful and brave as a Greek of old. Ab, these, the dead, are the mighty majority of Old Californiana! No one would guess how numerous they are. - California was one vast battle- field. The knights of the ninoteenth century lie buried in her bosom; while here and there, over the moun tain tops, totters a lone survivor, still Pprospecting, And T sat here, at fort, year, Dippiog my nose in the Gascon wine. There is an older Californtan still— ““the oldest inhabitant,” indeed. I knew him, & lusty native, a quarter of a contury ago in the impenetrable forests aud lava beds sround the bass of Mount Shasta. He, too, is dead; dead in spirit at least if ot altogsther in fact. If valor is a virtue, let us at least concedo that to the red man of the ifornia mountains, There wers battles fought here batwoon the min- ers and red men before Gen. Canby was ever heard of. They were bloody battles, too, but thoy never got to the ears of tho world. If Capt. Jack, with his handful of braves, held tho United States axmy ot bay for half a year, youmay well understand that We miners met no boy's play when thess Indians wero numerous and united. But this “old Californian,” as T knew him then, ia utterly extinct. About the fisherien of the McCloud, and along tho stage rond on the head. watera of the Sacraments river you seo little houses now and then not un- like our miners’ cabins of old. These are the homes of the few remsining Indians of Northern ~California. There is a little garden and stragglivg patches of corn about the door; two or thres miserable ponies nibble about the barren hills hard by, and a with- ered, wrinkled old squaw or two grunts under a load of wood or water a8 she steps sullen and silent out of the path to let you pass. And that bout all. - Her husband, her sons, dead or dying of disease in the dark, smoky cabin yonder. He ac- copte the inevitable, and is trying to be civilized. ~Alas! long before that Doint is reached he will have joined his fathers ot the other side of dark- ness. I spent a fow wecks at Lower Soda Springs, near Mount Shasta, last sum. mer, in sight of our old battle-ground in Castlo Rocks, or the Castillo del Diablo, as it was then called. I trlod to find some of the men who had fought in that little battle. But one white man remained, *Squire Gibson. " | At the time of this fight, which took place on the 15th day of June, 1855, he was married to the daughter of a friendly chief, and, as ho was the only alcade In all that country, sort of military as well as civil leader, and in the battle was conspicuous both for courage and good sense. Ho tried to keep mo back and out of danger. He told mo that I was of no_account in the fight, and only in the way. But when I was shot down in a charge through the chaparral he took me in his arms and carried me safely aside He cared for me afterward, too, till T got well. How glad T was to find him still alive! When you go up to Soda Springs, jump out of the stage al wostbricr ranch, only a few miles this side of Sods, and look him up. Do you think him an illiterate boor? He'is of one of the best families in New York, s gentleman and a scholar. A fow yeara ago, one of his wealthy sisters came out to visit the old man from_the eastern states. From San Francisco she telegraphed her ap- proasch and the probahle day of her arrival at his mansion. came, but she did not find him, ‘Squire Gibsan had long contemplated prospecting the rogged summit of an almost insccessible mountain. He felt that the time had come for this work, as his venerable maiden sister, with " all her high ideas of*‘family,” approached. He called his spouse nd his tawny children about him, bade them take up their buskets snd 2o high, very high up into the moun- tains, for acorns. And the gray old Califcrnian sinched his little mule un- tilshe grunted, tied a pick, pan and shovel to the saddle, and so pointed her nose up the peak, and climbed as if he was climbing for the morning star. Squire Gibson, I beg your pardon for dragging your name snd your deeds before the heartless world. Be- lleve me, old friend and comrade, It is not te trade upon it on to fatten my own vanity. Butdoyou know Ihave been waiting for ten years for you to die, so that T might write you up and do you a turn for your kindness to & hair-brained boy more than twenty. five years agol Itis a fact. But it beglus to look now as if you are going out-live me; you there in the high, pure air, and I here in the pent-up city. And so I ventare to put you in this sketch, snd name you as one of the uncrowned California kings! T count it rather odd that I should have found even one man in this variest nomad wpon the' face of the earth. Perhaps it is & bit of that same daring aod endurance which took him to California that still leads him on and on and on, through all the Iands ang over all the seas; for I have found him in every quarter of the lobe, And wherever 1 fnave found the Californiss, I have found him the leader; not dn_obttusive one, but a man who, when a man is needed, quletly steps forward, takes hold thy helm, and guides the ship to safety. Once on the Rhine, between the armies of France and Germany, T got Into great tronble with ths aut’ori. ties. The militaty police, who were arresting everybody they could lay hands on, had got me into their clutches and were trying to read a whole lot of d-up manuscript which constitated the mafn. part of my luggage, in ordet to find out what sort of a man I was; for T could not talk a word of either French or Ger- man. I think they must have been poorly educated, for they could bardly read it. But they tried and tried with all their might. And the harder they tried the madder they got; and they laid the blame all on'to me, They were about to iron ms and march me off for & spy, when an Auweriean stepped up and lald down the law 1 a way that made theu open thelr eyes. He was a Californian, and my trouble was over. He could not talk a word to them—no_more than I; but they soon saw tfiat al- though he could not talk In any of their six or seven tengues, he could at least fight in any language under the sun, 1 am reminded here of two Califor- nians, who, short of money and de- termined t@ seo the Holy Land, went with Cook, the tourist. They were the horror of all the stald old ortho- dox parties, but in léss thati a week they were tho leaders of the company. They wanted to pump out Jacob's well, and get down to the bed rock. They were perfectly cortain it was only & prospect hole. And when they ount Sinal they found quartz_indications and declared all that side of the mountain for which the tables for the ten commandments were supposed to have been taken would pay ten per cent, They pre- tended to'find plenty of gold in the rosk one morning, and made the whole party believethat they intended to set up a forty-stamp mill, and have it thundering down that ssme canyon Moses is supposed to have descended with the laws, There are many of the wandéring children of the dear old Pacific coast in art, and at work, all over the world. T have known. as many as five of the cight or ter theaters in the city of New York to have either Califor- nia sctors or California plays on their bonrds all at the eame time. And in the army and navy! Consider the deeds of the old Californians there. When one speaks of California, her northern sister, Oregon, is of course included. But perhaps it is in the financiai world that the old Californian takes first rank. Yon elevated railroad, that stretches down the strects of New York, waz built and is owned by an ex-mayor of San Francisco. Down yonder, at the end of the island of Mashaitas, where the “bulls” and “bears” guide the finances of the world, there is caa littio Californian who stands next to the head of the class. And if ever Jay Gould misses a word, this man will spell it, and turn him dowa, and take hi place. Two little facts let mo mention. More than Gfty yesrsago the very brightest of ail the young men of the city of New York married the daugh- ter of the then wealthiest and most distinguished of her great merchauta, Fifty years brings changes. This bright young man was no longer the hesd of the city. He was no longera banker. He was poor, and all his idols lay broken and behind him. Ha was still a gentleman. But, said the paniard, ““who is there ao poor as a poor gentloman?” Well, 50,000 was harded this zood and worthy old gen- tlomon by this old Californian, who is not willing to ever let his own name bo published’in connection with the ift. The other circumstanzs is of loss import to any one but myself. A new and unskilled dealer in stocks, and an utter stranger, found himself one fine morning routed, “horse, foot and dragoons.” Half desperate, he rushed down o the old Californian and asked his advice, ~Advice? He gave his advice to this stranger in the shape of 300 sharca of Weatern Union. These shares, in a fow days, turned out a profit of nearly $3000. And still he will not permit his name to be men- tioned in this connection. Very well; I wiil not give you the name of this “old Californian.” Neither will I give you the name of the venerable banker who received the £50,000. But T ece no rasson why you may not have the name of the embarrassed specalator who received the $3000 worth of “advice.” You will find it subscribed at the end of this ram- bling sketch. The foundations of nearly all the great fortunes of the far West have been almost purelyaccidental. After that it beosme merely a question of holding on to all you could get. Of course, many threw away their op- portuities here. But remember that many others gave anay all they had to help others, and are now gray and forgotten in the mountains, while they might have been at the head of their follows m the city. I implore you, do not too much admire the rich men of this rich land, where wealth may be had by any man who is mean enough to clutch and hold on tight to it. I tell you that nine cases out of ten great acquired wealth lifts up in monumental testimony the mean- ness of Its possessor. I knew two neighbors, old Califor- nians, who had about equal fortunes. They were both old settlers, both rich, and both much respected. In that fearful year, 1852, when the dying and destitute immigrants liter- ally crawled on hands and knees over the Sierra, tryivg to reach the settle- mente, one of these men drove all his cattie up to tho mountain, butchered them, and fed the starving. He had his Mexicans pack all the mules with flour, which at that time cost almost its weight in gold, and push on night and day over the mountains to meet the strangers there and feed them, a0 that they might have strength to reach his house, where they could have shelter and rest. The other man, cold snd cautlous, saw his opportunity and em- braced it. He satat home and sold all his wheat and mules and meat,and with the vast opportunities for tarn- ing money to account in that new country soon became almost a princa in fortune. But his generous neighbor died a beggar in Idaho, where he had gone to try to make another fortune. He litoral'y had not money enough to buy a shroud; and as he died among strangers, by the roadside, he was buried without even so much asa pine. ‘board coffin. L saw his grave there only last year. Some one had set up a rough granite stone at the head. ~ And that is all. No name—not even s letter or a date, Nothing. But that boulder was fash- ioned by the hands of Almighty God, and in thelittle seams and dots and mossy scars that cover it He can read the rubric that chronicles the“secret virtues of this lone dead man on the snowy mountains of Idaho. ‘The obildren of the “prince” are in region atill, after so long a time, for | Paris. Upheld by his colossal wealth of all wanderers the Californian is the their lives seem to embrace the uni- versal world. He is my friend. He buga all my books and reads every line . When he comes to this sketch be will underatand it. And he ought to underatand it, too, that the reapect, admiration and love which the new land once gave these two men gath 8 around aud is baried beneath that moss-grown granite stone; and that I know, even with all his show of splen- dor, that his heart is ss cold and empty us that dead man's hand.
