THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY DECEMBER 36 1884. TWELVE PAGES. 5 IN LEADVILLE. EXPERIENCE OF DANIEL M???FAR- LAND IN THE MINING CAMP. On tbe Bough Wagon Hoad-Tho oambllog Houiea, Bence Ball*, and Place* of Amuaemeat???Lynch Law and lta Beaulta???Claim Jumping and the Murder of Qov.Boblnaon. I entered Leadvillo over seven years ago, ??*ter riding icvcnty-fivo miles on tlio outside of a stage coach, over one of the worst roads in Iho world. The horses picked their way be tween immense boulders, the coach rolling over smaller ones at angles that threatened a capsize. At the most dangerous places on tho aides of the ravines tho paasengors left the coach and scrambled up the craggy steeps. Hardly a week passed without tho overturning of a stage on this dangerous path, bruising and often breaking the limbs and sometimes frac turing the skulls of those in search of tho new El Dorado. All supplies for Leadvillo and tho eurrounding region were carried from Web ster over this ruggid pass, in largo and strong wagons, each drawn by eight mules. About fifty of these teams, heavily laden, entered Leadvillo every twenty-four hours. Here and there along the route lay tho bodies of dead znules, frequently three or four in view at tho same time, This killing mode of transportation mado business lively for the mule traders and for those engaged in staging and teaming, cor ralling, providing fodder for teams, and for small tavern keepers. The business was im mense; but when tho railroad was completed from Denver to Leadvillo it was annihilated at s blow. Those whose business had been thus cut oft argued that the railroad was a death blow to Leadville. Dut the city survived and prospered, It was my first advent in a mining cam; The scene was strikingly novel and interes ing. The place was as crowded and as busy as a beehive. Teams clogged tho streets, and miners, wearing sombreros, and brown duck overalls tucked in their bootlegs, ond llauncl shirts of various colors, thronged tho sidewalk. A long line of miners extended from the de livery window ol tho post office for half a block up the sidewalk, This line was formed each morning long before tho post oftico waa opened for delivery, and remained thero until there was no longer any hope for thoso at tho rear of arriving at the window before tho oftico closed. It required fully two hours to reach the goal. Dulcet strains of music issued from tbe open doors of nearly every second homo on tho main street. Curiosity led me to enter. They were halls crowded with human beings, most ol whom were on the broad road ??? that leads to death. Bars extended nearly the en ??? tire length of tho deep halls, over which Leadvillo whisky was freely dealt out at twenty-five cents per gloss. A score or more gambling tables were in operation in each S lace. It was a study for a painter. At tho ar wes a maulling crowd, subject to no mor al restraint, {touring fiery liquid down its thrust. Professional gam blers with calm demeanor and apparent indifference presided at tho gaming table. Among thoae woro women wearing Derby hats, dealing faro. The players sat around the table silent and with anxious faces, and a sympathizing crowd looked on. Musi cians sat on elevated Beats discoursing music that drowned the chinking of gold and silver coins. Eight and day, Sunday included, these games went on. A city ordinance and the atste law against gambling wero published daily in a newspaper, and a police officer was constantly passing and roposalng the open doors of the gambling hells. Indeed, city of ficials and other of extra sooial standing pub* licly took a hand in tbe games without oxcit ing a word of comment. The harvest wu* usually reaped between Saturday night and Monday morning. A thou sand miners fiockod from the hills to spond these intervals in the city, and to try their luck at tho gambling tablo. Hundreds woro . left without money enough on Monday morn ing to pay for a drink before starting for tho mountains. It was in these weekly Intervals that murder was most rife among tho gam blers. But affrays iu Leadville wero or not milch account at the time. If a report of a pistol was heard, and some one wu wounded or even killed, thegamo wu interrupted only lor a few minutes. Tho only social attractions in Leadville wero to be found at the variety theaters and in tho dance houses. They were crowded overy night. Tho periormancee at tho varieties con sisted of singing and dancing, boxing and wrestling, swinging clubs and performing < the trapeze, all by women, some of who were nearly nude. Negro minstrels perform ed, and their performance* were supplement ed by vnlgsr larc.a, characterized by indeli- " i^The ??? back, drinking at saloons on tho way. Now comers, however rei ' aloonsontho way. Now- spectable, quickly fell in jr-body acted on the prinei- you are in Leadville do as Lead- Thi line. Almost every-body act< in Lead pie., ???When you are in*Leadville do as^Lead ville does." There wu hardly any other female society in Leadville. Whon death oc curred among the unfortunate women the newspapers contained euloglistic and touching There wu little legal restraint, nardly - night passed that several persons were not shot, and hardly a week that some one was not killed outright. I never heard that any one was convicted oi murder. Fow, indeed, were ?? unished for less criminal offensos. Wh owever, a person was arrested for drunkt- ness, unless the judgoor some influential poli tician was his friond, his sentence wu invar- iably$3 fine and $10 cost, tho latter going to tho city judgo who imposed it. If unable to poy, the culprit worked out his ten days ou the streets in the chain gang. Highway robbery wu tho order of the day as well as of the night. Tho stage coach com ing into Leadville was frequently waylaid and robbed. Unless several persons wore m com pany together, it was dangerous to be out in any of the back streets after dark, ???Ho" e back streets .Tier dark. Tho cry old up your hands 1??? might oalute your ears at any moment, and one or moro ruffians con front you with their rovolvers. A little Ger man barber, going home from hi* shop late at night, killed one of these ruffiaus and woun ded another in the arm. Tho latter wu a man of about nineteen, recently from the eut. The people wero very much wrought up bo- cause otthese depredations, and also on the subject of ???lot lumping." For non-compli ance with some United States law in selecting the plot for the city, it was claimed that thore was no perfect title to the^land in Leadville. Priority of occupancy was regarded u tho on ly title to any lot. The squatter titles, how ever, wero recognized u good against all in truders, nnd were transferred, giving tb< samo rights to tho purchueri as those of th< original occupant. This state of things gave rise to continual fueda, fights, and sometimes murders. A person, on returning to what he had considered his home, would frequently find his littlo cabin removed, and another in its place, with an occupant on a prior title. Jumping these unsettled titles and soiling them had become quite a business, Ono per son in particular, named Frodahain, had be come notorious for such transactions. Ho was arrested and clapped in jail, in company with the young robber wounded by tho Gorman barber. A mob entered tho prison, took out the two malefactors, and hanged thorn in the public street in front of the jail. The young man begged for writing materials and a few moments of life in which to write to his moth er. He was told that iu a fow minutes ho would be in hell, where he would have all the time to write he wantnd. Tho little German barber suddenly became a hero. Tho citizens of Leadvillo escorted him in a triumphal procession, in which the city diguitaries und other mugwumps wero rominent. Tho little barber and his honor cacy and obreenity. A play called ??? i Mor- to Leadville. tho receipts for i in a single theatre aggregated ban $l,00v. Nine tenths was mons," in which tho Mormon system of wod- lock was extravagantly illustrated, had a lonj run at one of tbe theatres. The curtain fol just at the crowning point of the play. The price of admission to these shows was fifty cents to the pit and $1 to the boxes. Such boxes! But, as one of the managers informed the writer, they cared much less for the amount of money taken at tho door than tor the profits on what they called ???the wine" ???old in the boxes. The name ???wino" waa used as a generic euphemism, comprising tho Worst rotgut whiskey at twenty-five cents per glass, lager beer at twenty-five cents a ???j.ony," ond a kind of manufactured stufT which they called ???champagne,??? at $5 per pint bottle. On Saturday nights, when the miners flocked to Leadville, these beverages usually more than . ??? ??? * # ??? r especially the champagne, waa drunk or spill ed on the floor in tne boxes. In the interval between the short acts the actresses invaria bly visit the boxe* and entertain the gentle ??? men there by sitting on their laps and in ducing them to apeutD their money freely for the little $6 bottle* of champagne. Between drinking and spilling the champagne on the floor???the latter a device of the girls for the good of the bouse???large quantities of wino were disposed of. A liberal man, flush of mon ey, thought nothing of spending $50 a night for this social amusement. Men of all classes and of all ages???tbe roughly dressed, bronzed miner, the well dressed man of wealth and of high social or political standing, even ex- governors. bald-bt sited old fellows from afar, of tbe tradition*! gold-mounted spectacles and gold-headed caue * tamp, with church-going aa lavishly as though ???favorites oi the toot lights." In addition to their regular salary tbe ac tresses received or $16 a night. To be a good iMewoman was regarded by the man agers as of mm miportan ?e than to be a good actress. The peri nuances were kept up till 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, sole.'y to sell liquor. Like the gsmbUug places, the dance homes were large nails on the ground floor with open dcorf, and bars over which liquor flowed in torrents. The income all came from tho bar. The dance wer.t on all night long, Sunday of course included, end tbe halls were crowded till broad daylight. Admission waa free, but every five-minute dance eoat the dancer fifty cents, with a drink thrown in. The fannies danced more than fifty times a night. At they could not p- ibly drink every time they danced, those who abturned were given tick ets, which were a::-r*vsrd cashed at five cents ???piece at the bar. These wild orgies beggar description. It secm??| as though Baton waa unbound, and ??*.s there in all nia power and fiery glory. L*-u and women constantly swarmed to the bar, smoking, drinking, and ???wearing. Depraved floor managers earnestly flew here and there among the crowd of men to enrage partners for the lewd women in the next lewd dance. llmyh miners, and often merchants, doctors,' and lawyers, were seen whirling round r.o-i round in this vortex of lewd dissipation. Men of good social status in Leadville rode out w th these females on horse- bc mayor sat sido by sido in tho first carriage of tho procession. The citizens also presented the barber with a gold watch and chain and a brace of revolvers. The barber did cot re main long to eujoy his |K>pulurity among the pcoplo. Fearing destruction at the hands of the comrades of tho robbers he had shot, ho left Leadville. Disputes among the miners about claims wero frequent, often causing bloodshod. Tho United States mining law gives tho right to any person to select, free of charge, any tract, .???100 by 1.600 feet of mineral land not already taken up, to be used for mining purposes ex clusively. To mako and keen tho claim good it is necessary to have tho Plot surveyed and recorded, and to siuk a shaft at least two foot each year until working mineral is struck, A notice must bo put upon the claim, giving tho dote of entry and tho name of tho person who entered it, as a logal warning to all othors not to intrude. Jumping mines on various pro- texts, in tho absence of the owners, and somo- times taking them by armed forco in their presence, wero quite customary among the marauders. A person who had struck a rich mine, and who was unable to muster friends to defend it, was in danger oi losing It. And of ten mines were fortifiod and defended by largo bodies of men bloodshed and death following. A ease that came under my observation was that of a valuable mino called ???O'Donovan ltoisa," owned by a regular dynamiter. Tho owner assembled his friends, and altera lively fusilade of bullets, in which several were wounded, the dynamiters were victorious. A sad case was that of young Itobinson, who had just been eleotad lieutenant governor of Colo rado. Ho bed already growu rich from lucky strikes in mining, and had every prospect of collecting millions. War was declared against a valusblo mine of which he was in possession. He placed armed men in the tunnel of tho minoai * ??? ** proaeh self was tho first to {come to the door after giv ing the order. Ills men, mistaking him for tho enemy as ho rapped, fired through the door, giving him a mortal wound, from which ho died tbe following day. A bell???the only one in Leadville at the time???which he had just presented to ono of the churches, tolled his funeral knell. About fivo years ago there was a panic in Leadville. The miners, who had worked ten hours a day, struck for eight hours. They were led by ono Kelly, a man of considerable culture ana of great influence among the min ers. lie organized tbe beginning of tho striko at the mine where be was amployed. Mounted at the head -of his co-laborers, he marohed them from mine to mine, inducing the miners to join their ranks until the strike bocame uni versal. About 5,000 miners assembled on tho mountains. They were a formidable army, Fear of pillage, firo and sword took possession of many ot the inhabitants ol Leadville. After banging like threatening clouds above the city, cn the third day tho miners descended from the mountains and marched linto Leadville. Kelly was at their bead, wearing a red scarf and sash, carrying a drawn sabre and mount ed on a spirited charger, A more orderly and peaceable procession, however, was never soon, when the men broke ranks and mingled with the people, so great waa Kelly's influence over them that there was no unusual disturbance and little intoxication among them. For sev eral days they marched and countermarched through the streets. The mine owners, how ever, seemed determined to resist their claims to the last* Telegrsms from New York and other cities were sent to the superintendents at the mines. Finally the governor declared martial law and the strike proved a failure. The writer has frequently been asked wheth er a person relying on his labor alonu would do well to go to Colorado and work in the mines. If tbe man is a good mechanic and can have steady employment at home he had better re main away from the mines. Common laborers without families, and with health and strength, and.those struggling to be ???genteel,'* end de pending on makeshift! for a living, may do well in eoy of the scores of mining camps springing up in the Rocky mountains. Min ers* wages an $3.50 per day, and there is con* aiant work. The labor, of course, is hard and rough, but is by no means so bard, so disagree able, end so dangerous as coal mining. Most of tbe miners live inlog cabins near tho mines, at d do their own cooking. They live well (or IS per week. They have no rent to psv, and can have all the firewood they want for the trouble of cutting it. In the villages, ???cities," os they call them, near the mines, they get excellent board with lodging for $1 per day. After having raved some money a man has tne opportunity to prospect for himself. There ere, however, no vacant ming tracts near Lead- * Ule. Around the newer mining camps there ere some which may rival Leadville. There. I* a possibility of your ???striking it rich" and be< oming a millionaire, end n slight proba bility that you,may make s tolerably large lottune. A goodly number of poor miners have had tbe luck to become rich, and a fsw to win millions. Tbe chances, however, are only a little more probable than those in a lottery. You hear of the few who draw the t-rises, but not of the thousands who draw the blanks. Among those who hare drawn ???capi tal prizes" in Colorado, the most noted is ex- Lieutenant Governor end ex-thirty days'Unl ted States Senator Tabor. Eight yean ago he kept a little grocery store in Leadville. He ???grub* staked" a couple of * n ** r **nt lh>n ant nm. burgh, well kuown since at tho mining stock board in New York city. Tabor, backed by wealthy men, raised money enough to pur chase the shares of his partners, giving on< $100,000 and tho other $300,000. A company was formed and $10,000,000 stock issued. Al though an exceedingly rich mine, this wi beyond its value. This striko was the fou tlon of Tabor's great fortune. He is now said to be worth $20,000,000. Daxikl McFablawd. SEEN IN SALOONS.
