OH THE GOLUBS' SHORES. A CALIFORNIA PIONEERS STORY. 'Where the Yellow Kugets Were First Discovered—Portuguese Joe's Fatal Shot-The El Dorado Indian War- Driven insane by Gold. From ihe Overland Monthly. Two of us went to Sacramento again, ■where we met a darkey who had come out from New York with George Hyatt, aud he wished us to go immediately with him to Placer county. He said he had found a place where the gold could be taken out in large pieces, he had blazed the trees ou the way out aud could find the place again. We started with him at once, and came out at what is now called Todd’s Valley. Todd was then building his log cabin there for a store aud tavern. From here we went up on the divide, and, wandering about the woods, at last found the blazes on the trees, which finally led us into what is still knowu by the euphouious name of Shirt-tail Canon. Wo camped here over night, and in the morning set to prospecting, with good results, prov ing the truth of our guide. We hastened back to the city, and when we returned we found a few other parties there at work. We could make four to six ounces a day, and many made as high as SI,OOO a dav with their pans. Claims were here as well as elsewhere fifteen feet square. Water came in rapidly as we went down. This drove us away, and we returned for a while up to El Dorado county. This time we went high up, about 15 miles from Johnson’s ranch, on the emigrant road, intending to cross the river and go over towards Coloma after prospecting. But after we had crossed some very heavy canons and had come to the river, we found it impossible to ford it there. About noon one of our party fell into the river. After getting out, he spread his wet clothes on the rocks t dry, and when he went to get them, what was his astonishment to find sinning in a crevice some particles of bright gold. We were not long in breaking open the rock, and found that the crevice contained about sixty dollars which we extracted with a knife and washed out in a pan. We concluded to camp there; so, going up on the hill and staking our auimats to good feed, we tried the bar. It was a small one, but we had to use crowbars, and a hammer, a knife and pan—scarcely any dirt to wash; but we could get out from thre i to five pounds of gold in a day. Every two or three days I would saddle up and go down the old emigrant trail (then traversed daily by hun dreds of emigrants from the States), and, wending my way to Johnson’s ranch, would deposit with him for safe-keeping, our gold. He wished to find out where I got it; so when 1 started back he would send someone to track me. I always started in the even ing aud camped ou the road, s me where I found emigrants already camped; so that if followed 1 could manage before morning to slip away without being discovered by my shadow. After I had done this a few times, and had several thousand dollars in John son’s keeping, he became resolute to find out our whereabouts. So, finally, he sent a lot of Indians, 32 in number, to track us up. This they did the next day by following up the river and watching for some slight discoloration of the water such as would be produced by washing the dirt. It so hap pened that upon going up this time we had taken with us a Portuguese, whom we want ed to do our cooking and packing; and as he was a good shot also, for game. About noon, while we were at the lower end of the bar, I heal'd Joe sing out, “Look-out—there comes the Indians!” And sure enough they were approaching us from below, on both sides of the river. They had no intent of harm, desiring only to find us and our where abouts; but Portuguese Joe, without wait ing for orders, opened fire. The shot went whizzing by my head, aimed at the nearest Indian; but at the same instant I motioned him to plump into the river, which be lost no time in doing. The rest got away as fast as they came. 1 expostulated with Joe for his imprudence, but he thought he knew what was right. I told him they would re turn and kill us all. Ho said, “No; Indian come no more.” I told him we should have to look out now, for they would be on us be fore we knew it; and where it was impossible to get out except in one way; and that way these Indians knew as well as wo did. Sure enough, not two hours later the In dians made their appearance, and this time where they had the advantage, on the bluff above our heads. Our chance of getting away by the pass we had entered by was cut off, and we stood a poor showing of es caping their vengeance. Showers of arrows came down thick and fast, but by keeping up close under the hill we managed to evade them, as they overshot all the time. We were now in a dilemma. We could not cross the river where we were, for it was a narrow channel between the sides of the gorge, and the current ran very strong. As to any one coming to our aid, that was not to be thought of, for we were miles ahead of where any prospecting had been done at that time, and there was no possibil ity of any one finding us. We kept close up under the bluff all that afternoon, but were kept in anxiety by the continuous rolling down of rock and stone upon us from above, and when we tried to escape these the arrows w ould be brought in to play. Night came on, but we knew the darkness would not help us, for our only mode of egress was guarded by the Indians. One of our boys tried to clamber around at another place "to get out and make known our situation, but failed to do so. Tho next morning, however, a little reconnoitering showed us one point where, by throwing a lasso up into a tree above, there might be a chance; but it would not do to try it in the day time. So, waiting till the dusk set in my companion went to work to make his exit. The place was about a quarter of a mile above on the river, and just where a projection of the wall of rock came down to the river, cutting off alt further communi cation up thestream;at that point. While he made the attempt, we moved afc>out on tho tor to attract attention that way in ca.se the Indians should be on the watch. This time he succeeded, got out safely and communi cated with a body of men, who came to our relief the next day—making indiscrinvinnie war, at the same time, upon every Indian t hey met. This was the beginning of the El Dorado Indian war, in which Major McKinney and a portion of his command were killed—an incident iu the history of that country that very few have ever known—the cause of all. Portuguese doe’s foolish and unprovoked shot. Many lost their lives by that Indian war. We had escaped the Indians; but our se cret diggings were overrun with men in twenty-four hours, and our time was up. Within two days after we left, one man found in a crevice on the bar we had left a single piece of pure gold* weighing nine pounds. Upon getting out w'e found our horses wore gone—probably taken by the indians at the first. We left our tools and baggage on the bur, and never returned for them. AVe went down to Johnson's and got from him our money that I had deposited with him. He explained thut in sending up the Indians it was with no other intention i ban that of discovering our whereabouts, so as to reap some of the benefits, and that hut for the indiscretion of our man, the Portuguese, no harm whatever would have come of their visit, as they were entirely peaceable unless molested. We soon got away from this part of the country, which was now in a state of great disturbance: and we fairly launched on a regular uomadio life of unrest, wishing to be constantly on the move, ready for ad venture and chance. The men in the mines of those early days vrere not the stereotyped miners of the pres ent day. They were in nearly every instance young men, "full of ground "ambition, most of them gentlemen, intelligent, well-edu cated, mid well-bred, men who had means at, home but had oome out hero from a spirit of adventure, intending only to remain a year or two. then go home and enjoy the competency, that every one believed he was K "ie to obtain. Hut the adage “Easy got, £>• go,” was vended in almost every iu stance, and here is just where the old Cali fornians and their families got their prodi gal habits—taking no thought for the future, living up to and beyond their incomes, however large: a habit that has become so engrafted upon even the present generation that it cannot be uprooted, no matter how great the pressure of the times. Whv,even at this late day, I know men who will srieud S3O to have a good time at night at the opera or a banquet, and its accompani ments, and borrow 50c. to get their breakfast the next morning. Now, as the mines promised such im mense and speedy fortunes, almost all went to them in their endeavors to acquire sudden riches. Some, with only pick, pan aud spoon, or knife, met with fabulous success, while many othres were doomed to as great disappointments. Rockers sold at SSO, to SIOO, each. Men made from two ounces to twenty a day, and frequently picked up pieces of from $3, to SSOO each, and I am personally acquainted with one man, a Mr. Strain (still living), who picked up a piece of pure gold that was worth SIO,OOO. This find was made at Knapp’s ranch, near Columbia, in Toulumne county. A Frenchman who was on the point of starving at the time found another in Tree Pine Gulch, near the same town, that weighed $5,000. His prosperity was too much for the temperament of the Frank, and he immediately became in sane, and uever recovered. He died in tne asylum at StocktoD. The gold was given the French Consul for the benefit of ins re lations in France. It is estimated on good authority that this Columbia basin, within a space of not over three miles square, has produced in all within twenty-five years the enormous sum of " $100,000,000 or about one-thirteenth of the prod uct of the whole stats. The largest piece of gold extracted in the State was taken from Calaveras county ;it weighed one hund red and ninety-five pounds troy, or about $39,000. POVERTY MUST EXIST AMONG MEN. Not Sufficient Wealth in the World to Make all its Inhabitants Comfortable. From the Fo rum for December. It seems to be a prevalent impression that poverty is unnecessary and that the fact of its existence is only a consequence of the present unequal distribution of the world’s wealth. Hence the upspringing of anti-poverty societies and other plausible projects for setting things to rights and for the general diffusion if affluence among men. But this hypothesis is totally untenable. All the world’s wealth put together, if equally distributed, would not suffice to make the world’s people rich, or even to relieve them from the pressure of want—a pressure which in that case would be universal. For what the world has to live on from year to year is only the aggregate annual product of all the industries of the world; and wbat this amounts to in civilized lands at least, has been pretty well ascertained by inquiries elaborately conducted under public author ity. From the result* of such inquiries it is quite apparent that if this aggregate produc t were to be distributed with the most rigor ous impartiality among all the inhabitants of the countries investigated, it could at most only supply the simple necessities of life, and nobody would be in what are called circumstances of ease. To come down, hdfcever, from generali ties to statements a little more definite, we may observe that Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston—a gentleman who has devoted some years to the study of industrial statistics, and whose familiarity with facts entitles his opinion to the highest consideration—has furnished us with an estimate which throws, for our own country at least, a very vivid light upon the point in question. As the result of his inquiries he concludes that the annual production of all the industries of tho United States cannot exceed S2OO per head of the population, which would give a total of $13,000,000,000. An equal distribution of this product would give to each family of five persons in a population of 00,000,009 or 12,000,000 families, a distributive share of SI,OOO per annum. Now, suppose that one third of these families, or groups of five,man age to secure an average share of $2,000 per annum, the remaining two-thirds would be reduced to an average of $590 only. Sup pose one-half of this third to be fortunate enough or skillful enough to increase their average to $3,000, the remaining half con tinuing at $2,000, the average share of the two-thirds would fall to $250, or SSO only per head per annum. WHAT KEPT LINCOLN AWAKE. How tho War President Rebuked tho Late Gen. Leavenworth. From the Philadelphia Press. Washington, Nov. 27.—1 see the death announced of Gen. Elias W. Leavenworth, of Syracuse, who was a member of the Forty-fourth Congress. He is very pleas antly remembered in Washington as a gentleman of courtly manners and a liberal entertainer. They used to tell a story about him that I think never got into the newspapers. During the darkest days of the war there was a squabble in Syracuse over the ap pointment of a postmaster. Two factions of the Republican party had candidates, and each had sent to Washington numer ously signed petitions for the appointment of its favorite. Finally, to get the matter settled, a delegation, composed of the wealthiest men of the town and several of the most prominent ministers and lawyers, headed by Gen. Leavenworth, visited the national Capital and secured an audience with President Lincoln. Gen. Leavenworth had carefully prepared his speech to Mr. Lincoln, and it ran something like this: Mr. President— lt is with great reluctance that we intrude upon you this morning. We appreciate the awful responsibilities and per plexities of your position and do not forget that the very life of the nation is in your hands. But, Mr. President, the people or the great, loyal North are at yovr back, and they are praying, sir. that your life may be spared and that you may be giren strength to carry this war through to a successful issue. Mr. Lincoln listened to Gen. Leavenworth with some impatience until he reached this point and then interrupted him with: l assure you, my dear sir, that it isn’t the war or the army that is worrying the life out of me; it is that blamed Syracuse Postoffice that is keeping me awake nights. Gen. Leavenworth did not finish his speech. The delegation presented their case in the briefest possible manner and felt much more comfortable when they reached Pennsylvania avenue than they did in the presence of the President. MRS. CLEVELAND IN PERIL. Not Appalled, However, Though the Accident Might Have Beon Serioua. From the Few York World. Washington, Nov. 27. —While out driv ing behind the famous “seal browns” this afternoon Mrs. Cleveland met with an acci dent, which might have proved very seri ous. The woatlior has been warm anti damp of late, and the concrete roadways are cov ered with a slimy ooze, making them nearly as slippery as ice. Tho White House horses are very fat. from high feeding and little exercise, and their shoes are worn smooth. AVhilo passing the Ebbett House at a lively pace the off horse slipped and fell, dragging his mate down with him. The pole bent like a bow, and the front wheels left the ground. For a moment it seemed as if the carriage must bo overturned and wrecked. A dozen by-stauders rushed to the horses’ heads, but burly Albert, tho White House coachman, waved them aside, cracked his whip, leaned forward, and seizing the reins tightly, literally lifted the anintals to their feet. Mrs. Cleveland was accompanied by n lady friend aud her maid. The lady friend rose as if to leap from the. carriage, and the maid screamed hysterically. “The first lady in the land,” however, sat quietly in her seat, and aside from paling a trifle, did not exhibit the slightest indication of fear. As Albert touched up the browns and the carriage rolled off she smilingly bowed her thanks to those who had rushed to her rescue- THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, ISB7. NAPOLEONS OF FINANCE Without Fame Because They Have Made No Sensational Failures. From the Pittsburg Press. New York, Nov. 24.—The ups and downs of the projectors of railroads, canals, mines, inventions, and gigantic enterprises in New York are so extraordinary as to challenge the surprise of people who have knosvu the manipulators for years, aud are cognizant of the wonderful vagaries in tbeir fortunes. Henry S. Ives, Ferdiuand Wald, and the other big financiers are tiewspaper heroes. Their names are famous because they failed, and the history of their great operations becomes public property, but the number of men who force fortunes out of nothing, and make millions fly into the pockets of tlieir backers in response to no other incentive than their own shrewdness and pluck, do not care for notoriety, and dread nothing so much as newspaper promi nence. I know a projector of big enterprises who cautions me every time we meet against mentioning his name. Such men like to tell the news about their ambitions and projects, but they dread the notoriety which the newspapers give to tbeir pets." The manner in which these shrewd adventurers—for very often they are little more than that —force themselves into the confidence of men of sound financial standing and raise huge sums of money without owning a dollar’s worth of property in the world would as tound conservative business men of the old school. I personally know of a loan which was recently negotiated by a man who is as brilliant a railroad financier as ever looked at a map, for the enormous sum of $355,000, and yet the negotiator could not command S2O to meet his board bill on the night after the completion of his work. The history of his work indicates in a slight measure now men of brains of this kind occasionally work their way up. He had been in the diamond fields of Africa, was broke, and worked bis way on. a sailing vessel to Rio. Thence he found his way to Chili, where he became interested in a drummer who was selling a patent ore crushing machine. The drummer died. The ex-diamond adventurer took his books and sold half a dozen machines through Chili and Peru. Then he shipped to New Orleans, where he made his collections, drifted over to Jacksonville, in Florida, and in some manner or other stumbled across a half worthless charter of a rail road, designed to transport timber to the Gulf. He gave nothing for the charter, bnt at once organized a railroad company with a name 7 or 8 feet long, sailed for London, and had prospectuses and maps made that would have shamed the Northern Pacific in point; of extravagance and beauty. In London ho got the ear of a nobleman of excellent lineage, battered fortunes, feeble health, and entirely despondent, who was owned, body and soul, by every Shy lock in the English capital. All he had left was an imposing name. The American made him a cash offer of £4O for the use of the noble name as President of the company, and the English nobleman launched out ts early as the shaky fist and somewhat rocky brain would permit, pocketed his £4O and went to the races forthwith. Then the Yankee went to Liverpool ami the minor English cities where the character of the nobleman was not so well known as in Lon don, and in less than a month had stocked the company for £IOO,OOO, banked the money and brought the whole scheme to America, where he sold out to a syndicate of Wall street gentlemen of rather loose notions as to the brotherly love which should exist between the English and Americans, and who pro ceeded to scoop their allies after the cus tomary Wall street fashion. But the ma nipulator of all this hullabaloo got out of money, and he struck another railroad scheme up near the great lakes, which I can not mention without advertising, as every body is talking about it just now. He was so sure of bis enterprise that, he dumped every penny of bis capital into it and pushed it along until it is talked of in half the finan cial circles of America and Europe. Even when it got into a stress last week, he raised $3(55,000 for it, although he had not a penny of his own at the time. He dresses well, and frequents the best hotels. No man knows where he sleeps or eats. Here is a man who two years ago didn’t have a penny, and who today is in precisely the same condition; and yet, if his scheme gets through, as in all probability it will, he will come out at least $500,000 to the good with valuable holdings in railroad stocks and the Presidency of a big corporation. Through all his financial embarrassments he is serene and placid as he will be a year hence, whether he is worth $10,000,000, or 10c. Men of his class never get rattled, no matter how great the turbulence of their affairs, and they watcb tbeir chances as a chicfter hawk watches the pullet. I kuow a dozen of these railroad manipulators, and every one of them is a good type of a man of the world. Their one care is to keep up appearances. To do this they often sacrifice such little things as thrir stomachs, and go without food that they may be impressively clothed. Some of them even put up for tremendous swells, the most promising specimen 1 know of being an enthusiast ou mines from Nevada. That is, he says he is from Nevada, but when he forgets about the cares of the millions he has on pa per, and drinks a glass of wine too much and has a good time with his cronies, there is an accent in his voice that suggests Dublin from alar. In appearance he is a swell of the most tre mendous and impressive type, and he drives a mailed phaeton with a pair of 16-hand bays, and an absolutely correct footman, every day in the year. He is rather careful to pass the principal hotels and restaurants on his way to the park. He is scrupulously shaved and barbered at all times, and he told me in confidence one day last week that he had no less than eighteen overcoats with which to begin the winter season. His bill at the tailor’s was over $4,000 for a portion of last year. The am bition of his life is to get into the clubs, but he never could manage it, for the inquiries from the committee on admission invaria bly disclosed such peculiar facts about the mining operator that he is blackballed with a vengeance when his name comes up. He believes entirely in show and glitter, and says so without reserve. All he does is to float mining stock, and the first money that comes in goes in his own pocket. He aslus a small percentage, but be gets it, and, as his operations are numerous, his income must reach close to $‘25,000 or $30,000 a year. The only people he pays are his liverymen and tailor, for these are absolutely necessary to his suc cess. He has been through supplementary proceedings so often that he knows more about the law than the Judges themselves, and whenever he gets an extra thousand dollars he blows it merrily into a big game in the Stock Exchange, and then drowns his sorrow in drink. Probably nineteen-twen tieths of the people who know him by sight believe him to be many times a millionaire, and yet though he deals in big sums oi money constantly, lie is practically poor, for he cannot meet his obligations and is pressed on all sides for ready cash. People often wonder that men who are shrewd enough to make sums of money of this sort we are not shrewd enough to keep a nest egg or two against bad weather. The fact of the matter is that the qualities that go to make up a shrewd adventurer and speculator of this kind arc just the qualities that are lacking in a man of prudence and good ability. “Good deeds,” once said the celebrated Richter, “ring clear through Heaven like a bell.” One of the best deeds is to alleviate human sufferings. “Last fall ray daughter was in'decline,’ .says Mrs. Mary Hinson, of Montrose, Kansas,'“and everybody thought she was going into consumption. I got ner a bottle of Dr. R. V'. Pierces ‘Favorite Pre scription,’and it cured her.” .Such facts as the above need no comment.
