I may say that asa mining camp I witnessed its fall. 1 lived there when the few ‘‘boys” left used daily, after the close ot an unsuc- cessful river seas)n, to sit in a row on a log by the river's edge, and there, surveying their broken dam, would chant cusses on their luck. The Bar store was then still in existence. Thomson was its smpriator. The stock, on hand had dwindled down to whisky. [he bar and one filled bottle alone survived. On rainy nights, when the few miners left would gather about the stove, Thomp- son would take down his fiddle, and fiddle and sing ““What can’t be cured must be endured,” or, ‘‘The Lord into his garden came; the spices smelt about the same”--a quotation of unknown authorship. 0} neigh- bors, living in their cabins strung along the banks for half a mile above the store, there was Keen Fann, an aged.mercantile and mining China- man, with a eolony about him of lesser and facially indistingwishable country- men of varying numbers. Second, “‘Old Harry,’ an aged negro a skilled performer on the bugle and a singer, who offered at times to favor us with what he termed a ‘‘little ditto.” He was the Ethiopic king of a knot of Kanakas gathered about him. Third, ‘‘Bloody Bill,"” so called from his fre- quent use of the sarguinary adjective and, as may be guessed, an English- man. Fourth, an old Scotchman, one of the Bar's oldest inhabitants, who would come to the store with the little bit of gold dust, gathered after a hard day's ‘‘crevicing,” complaining that ‘‘gold was getting as scarce as the grace of God in the Heelands of Bcotland.” Fifth, McFarlane, a white-bearded old follow, another ioneer, who after a yearly venture into some strange and distant locality to ‘‘chunge his luck,” was certain eventually to drift back again to the Bar, which he regarded as home. Down the river, nestled high up in a steep and picturesque gulch, stood the buckeye-embowered cabin of old Jonathan Brown, the ditch tender, a great reader of weekly *‘story papers,” who lived like ajboy in the literature of The Western Frontier Penny Awful, and who, coming to the store and perching himself on the counter, would sometimes break out in re- marks about how ‘‘Them thar Indians got the better of 'em at last,” to the astonishment of the ‘‘boys,” who im- agined at first that he referred to In- dians in the locality, suggesting possi- bilities of a repetition of the great Oak Flat uprising of 1880. AN UNPROFITABLE INDUSTRY. At the “‘top of the hill,” a mile and a half away, stood the *Yankee Ranch,” kept by a bustling, uuneasy and rather uncomfortable man from Massachusetts, aided by his good- natured, easy-going son-in-law. One rainy winter’s aay the ‘‘boys” congre- gated about Thompson's store became seized with a whim tor the manufac- ture of little pasteboard men turning grindstones, which, fastened to the stove, were impelled to action by the ascending current of hot air. So they smoked their pipes, and wrought all day, until the area of stovepipe be- came thickly covered with little paste- board men busily turning pastehoard grindstones. en, rge M. G., the son-in-law of the Yankee Ranch, came down the hillto borrow an ax. George was of that temperament and inclination to be of all things charmed with a warm stove on a cold, rainy day, a knot of good fellows about it, & frequent pipe of tobacco, maybe an occasional punch and the pleas- ing manufacture of hot-air- driven little pasteboard men turning pasteboard grindstones. He forgot his ax—sat down and began with the rest themanufacture of paste- board men and grindstones. And he kept on till a late hour of the night, and staid at the bar all night and all the next day and that next night, un- til the stovepipe was covered to its very top with little men, all working away for dear liteturning grindstones; and on the second day of his stay the exasperated father-in-law suddenly appeared and delivered himself in im- patient invective with regard to such conduct on the part of a son-in-law sent forty hours previously to borrow an ax. Such was the circle oft gath- vred on the long, rainy winter’s eve about the Thompson store stove. All smoked. Keen Fann trequently drop- ped in. He stood respectfully, as a heathen should in such a Christian as- semblage, on its outer edge, or hum- bly appropriated some unoccupied keg, and for the rest—urinned. From his little piggy eyes to his double chin Keen's face was a permanently settled grin, A PIONEER CHINAMAN, Keen Faon had learned aboul twenty words of Eaglish and would nuo more, In his estimation, words, varivusly used, of grammatical Kaleide- Lion, seemed adequate to S | convey everything required. One of his presumed English expressions uzzled the boys. Askiiz the of articles at the store e would “Too muchee polyfoot.” At ast the riddle was correctly guessed, He meant: *“Too much profit,” For proteetion Keen Fann built his house opposite the store. The Mexi- cans were then attacking and robbing isolated bands of Chinamen. At one bar a few miles below, then deserted by the whites, the Chinese had in- closed their camp with a high stockade of logs, Yet one night they were at- tacked, The Mexicans besieged their fortress for hours, peppering them from the hillsde with revolvers, and at last they broke through the Mon- golian works and bore off all their dust and a dozen or more revolvers Keen Fann's castle was in dimensions not more than 12x15 feet, and in height two stories, Within it was partitioned off into rooms not much larger than dry goods boxes. The hallways were just wide enough to squeeze through, and very dark. It was intensely labyrinthian, and Keen was always makiug it more by devising new additions. No white man ever did know exactly where the structure began or ended. Keen was a merchant, dealing principally in gin, fish and opium, fiil store was in- volved in this curious dwelling, all of his own construction. In the store was & counter. Behind it there was staid there that night. just room for Keen to sit down, and n front there was just room enough for the customer to turn around, When Keen was the merchant he looked imposing in an immense pair of Chinese spectacles. When he shook his rocker in the bank he took off these spectacles. He was a large con sumer of his own gin. T once asked him the amount of his weekly allow. ance, ‘‘Me tink,"” said he, ‘“‘one gal- lon, hap.” From the upper story of the castle protruded a huge spoear- head. Tt was made by the local blacksmith, and intended a8 & menace to tke Mexican bandits. As they rew bolder and more threatening, Keen sent down to San Francisco and purchased a lot of old pawn-shop re. volvers. These being received, military preparation and drill went on for sev. oral woeks by Keen and his forces, He practiced at target-shooting, aimed at the mark with both eyes shut, and for those in its immediate vicinity with a most ominous and threatening waver of the arm holding the weapon, It was prophesied that Keen would kill somebody with that pistol. None ever expected that he would kill the proper peron. Yet he did. One night an alarm was viven, Keen's castle was attacked. Tho “boys,” hearing the disturbance, grabbed their rifles and pistols, and sallied from the store. The robbers, finding themselves in a_hornet's nest, ran. By the uncertain light of a waning moon the Bar was seen cov- ered with Chinamen gabbling and gesticulating. Over the river two men were swimming. Keen, from the bank, pointed his revolver at one, shut his eyes and fired. One of the men orawled out of the water and tumbled in aheapamong the bowlders, The ‘‘boys” crossed, and found there a s‘range white man, with Koen's bullet through his backbone. A PERILOUS TRIP, I experienced about the narrowest escape of my life in a boat during a freshet on the Tuolumne orossing 1 counted myself a good river boatman, and had just ferried overa Swett's Bar miner, He had come to pur- chase a gallon of the native juice of the grape, which was then grown, ressed and sold at Red Mountain ar. When he crossed with me he was loaded with it. Some of it was outside of him 1n a demijohn and soma of 1t was inside. Indeed it was insiuc of us both, I set him across all right. On returning, by taking advantage of a certain eddy, one could be rushed up stream counter to the ourrent coming down for a quarter of a mile, and at a very rapid rate. It was very exciting thus to be carried in an op- posite direction, within ten feet of of the great billowy swell coming down. It wassort of sliding down hill without the trouble of drawing one's sled up again. So I went up and down the stream. The Red Mountain wine meantime was work- ing. Night came on,a glorious moon arose oyer the mountain tops, and I kept sliding up and down, the Tuo- lumne. I%euma more daring and careless. So that suddenly in the much at the bar to make pleasant man's stay on earth, save n great deal of cash. ~ We enjoyed a mild climate =no long, hard winters to provide against; a soil that would raise almost any vegetable, a necessity or luxury, with very little labor. Grapes or figs, apples or potatoes, land to be had for the asking; water for irrigation access ible on every hand; plenty of pasture room; no crowding. A quarter of a section of such soil and climate, within forty miles of New York city, would be worth millions. Contrast” snoh a land with the bleak hills about Boston, where half the year 1sapent in astrug- gle to provide for the other half. Yet we were all anxious to get away, Our heaven was not at Red Mountain. Fortunes could not be digged there. We spent time and strength ina scramble for a fow ounces of yellow tal, while in the spring-time the vales and hillsides covered with flow- ers argued in vain that they had the greatest reward for our picks and shovels. But none listened. We groveled in the mud and atones of the oft-worked bank Yearly it responded less and less to our efforts, One by one the *‘old- timors" left. The boarding house of Dutch Bill at the further end of the Bar long stood empty, and the meek- eyed and subtle Cgummnn stole from ita sides board after board; the sides skinned off, they took joist after joist from the frame work. None ever saw them so doing. Thus silently and mysteriously, like a melting snow- bank, the great, ramshackle boarding house disappeared, until naught was left save the chimney, And that also vanished brick by brick. All of which material entered into the com. position and construction of that ir- regularly built, smoke-tanned, con- glomerate of Chinese huts clustered near tho Keen Fann castle. AN EXODUX FROM THE BAR. “Old Grizzly” McFarline went away. So did Bloody Bill. 8o the Bar's population dwindled. Fewer travelers, dot-like, were seen climb- ing the steep trail o'er Rad mountain, Miller, the Chinese Camp news agent, who, with mail bags well filled with the New York papers, had for years cantered from Red Mountain to Mor- gan's Bar, emptying his sack as he went at the rate of fifty and twenty- five cents per sheet, paid the Bar his last visit und closed out the newspa- per business there forever. Then the county supervisors abolished it as an election precinct, and its name no longer figured in the returns. Nomore after the vote was polled and the rosult known did the nctive and am- bitious partisan mount his horse and gallop over the mountiin to Sonora, the county seat, twenty miles away, to deliver the official ¢ unt, signed, sealed and attested by tho local Red Mountain election iuspectors. Fi. nally the bar dwindled to Thompson, Keen Faun and his Mongolian band, Then Thompson left. Keen Fann grievea at losing his friend and pro- tector. He came on the eve of de- parture to the dismantled store. very fury of the mid-stream billows I slipped off the stern sheets at a sud- den dip of the boat and fell into the river. I was heavily clad in flannels and mining boots. Of my stay under water 1 recollect only the t{longht, ““You're in for it this time. Thus is no common baptism.” The next I knew I was clinging to a rock half a mile below the scene of the submer- gence. I had been sweptunder water through the Willow Bar, the walls of whose rocky channel, chiseled by the current of centuries, were narrower at the top than on'_the river bed, and through which the waters swept in a suocession of coils and whirlpools. Wet and dripping, I tramped to the nearest cabin, a mile and a half distant, and Red Moun- tain Bar, on seeing the mishap, gave me up for lost— f but one man, who was negative on that poiat for the rea- son, as he alleged, that I was not des- tined to make the final exit by water. I reappeared the next morning at the Bar. When I told the boys thatI had been swept through the Willow Bar they instituted comparisons of similarity in the matter of veracity be- twixt myself and Ananias of old. It was the current impression that no man could pass through the Willow Bar alive. CHINESE CAMP, Chinese Camp, five miles distant, stood as the metropolis for Red Mountain Bar. It contained but a few hundred people. Yet, in our esti- mation at that time it bore the eame relative importance that New York does to some agricultural village a hundred miles away. Chinese Camp meant restaurants, ‘where we could revel in the luxury of ocating a meal we were not obliged to prepare eur- selvos, a luxury none can fully appre- ciate save those who have served for years as their own cooks, Chinese Camp meant suloons, palatial as com- pared with the bar groggery; 1t meant a daily mail and communication with the great world without; - it mt 1otels, where strauge faces might be seen daily; it meant, per- haps, akove all, the nightly fandango. When living for months aud years in such out-of-the-way nooksand corners as Red Mountain Bar, and thousands of now forgotten a8 were 1 name- loss flats, guiches and bars in Califor- nia, cut off from all regular commu- nication with the world, where the occasional passage of some situnger is an event, the limited stir aud bustle of such a place as Chinese Camp assumed an increased importance and interest. Chinese Camp justioe presided at our lawsuits, Chinese Camp was the Mecea to which all hnm{a resorted forthe grand blow-out at the close of the river min- ing season, With all their hard work what independent times wers those after all. True, claims were uncertain as to yield; hopes of making fortunes had been given over. But s0 long as $1.50 or $2 pickings remained on the banks men were comparatively their own masters, There was none of the inexorable demand of business conse- quent on situation and employment in the great city, where, sick or well, the toilers must hie with machine- like regularity at the early morning hour to their posts of labor, If the Red Mountaineer didn’t ‘‘“feel like work” in the morning he didn’t work, If he preferred to commence digging and washing at 10 in the morning in- stead of 7, who should prevent gim'l 1f, after the morning labor, he desired o siesta till 2in the afternoon, it was his to take, A PARADISCAL RETREAT, Of what nature could give therewas Tears were in his oyes. He presented Thompson with a basket of tea and a silver half-dollar, and spoke to himn incoherent and intranslatable words of lamenting polyglot English P. Muvrorp, Rheumatic Relief.
