THE LURE OF GOLU
Romance and Tragedy of the Ola
Bonanza Trail.
A ROAD TO WEALTH AND CRIME
It L?d to the Richest Deposits of Gold.
In ? Relatively Small Territory, Ever
Discovered?Day# of Strenuous Life
and Frenaied Lawlessness.
The Bonanza trail began at Fort
Lnrnmle. Wyo. It ran east of the Owl
Creek mountains, west of the Big
Horn mountains. In a northwest direc
tion to Livingston and Bozeman, then
forking to the present Helena and Vir
ginia City. Id war and Indian depart
ment annals it Is known as the Bore
man trail. Immediately, however, It j
was given the more romantic name,
and for the best of reasons. It led to
what were the richest deposits of gold, j
in a relatively small territory, that the
world had ever seen.
Out of Alder gulch and Last Chance j
gulch, within 200 miles of each other
In Montana, was taken. In ten short
years, considerably more than $500, J
000,000 In pure gold. It was anybody's
fortune, and the wonderful luck of the i
California gold diggers a few years be J
fore roused men to brave every hard J
ship for these prizes.
It did not matter at all that these
gulches were 2.000 miles from tbe
nearest railroad and that other gold
fields were far easier to reach. Here
was the great El Porado. and with i
out a qualm the gold seekers hurried
into the nnknown territory, defying |
Red Cloud and every other Indian, out- i
law, renegade and holdup man.
How many lives were sacrificed along
this trail to wealth will never be
known. All that Is certain Is that
there never was another chapter In the
world's history like this. The long
road Into the mysterious country and
the settlements of mining camps grew
up almost in a single night There
were only five men in the little party '
when Bill Fairweather "washed" the J
first pan in Alder gulch and made a dis
covery even more wonderful than any
In the palmy days of California or
even In the later era of the Klondike, i
Two years later Alder gulch, at one j
of the Bonanza trail's two ends, was
among the most picturesque places in
the country. The world was ransacked |
for men and women to give perform
ances at the theaters, to offer free en
tertainment to the patrons of the vari
ous resorts The gold hunters, gorged
with prosperity, wanted amusements. I
Fine restaurants were opened and food
brought in at great exi^nse from be
yond the seas. The smallest money '
was a twenty-five cent pinch of gold j
dust, taken from a pouch. It bought
less than a copper cent does in any
part of the Tnlted States today.
Meantime an unending stream of i
people poured Into the new country j
It is estimated by some that 90.000 In
all took the trail at Fort Laramie.
The days of the trail wsre those of j
frenzied lawlessness, and many are the i
picturesque stories that have come
down. Over the big road disputes ;
ibout cards were of dally occurrence. |
The man who started an argument did |
so with the knowledge that it was his |
life or the other man's, for he was call
Ing Into question the "honor" of the 1
"shark." Swindlers sold "mines."
fought with their proposed victims and j
killed without compunction.
Armed robbers ran off stock, stole
horses from one class of immigrants
tod sold t Uein to another. As tbe
horse was the sole means of transpor
tatlon and valuable beyond human life,
"hoss stealing" was set down by the
"districts" as a crime punishable by
death. There were few courts, and
such ns there were were miles from
the trail. A Jury would hence be at [
once Impaneled among those present,
the man tried and if found guilty bang j
ed to a tree without ceremony.
Hotels flourished and were prosper
ous beyond Imagining, for every one
spent money, and there was mnc^
flaunting In the higher grade estab
lishments beverages were served In cut
glass; champagne was common. Every
resort whs crowded with people. The
newcomers frequented these places In
quest of Information, paid 25 cents for
t glass of beer made from barley
grown by the ex-Confederate soldiers
nt Bozeman and sold to the Virginia
breweries for 8 cents a pound, and not
enough could !>e received to supply the
demand. Table board cost $7 a day
for the very clwnpest. and if one slept
In a chair In the hotel lobby at night,
when the rooms were all rented, he
paid $1.50 for the privilege.
Gold was the only medium of ex
change. A pinch of it, between the
forefinger and the thumb, as has been
said, counted 25 cents. There would
be a tendency with some men to take
Just a little bit more. When that ten
dency was noticed In a man he was
given hours to leave town? and it was
seldom over two hours. The wise man
did not stand on ceremony or protest
he "vamoosed," In camp vernacular.
The newspapers of the city sold for
25 cents a copy, red hot from the press,
and full of news of lynchlngs, new dig
gings, "clean ups," "hold ups," "bad
men" and gossip of a breezy charac
ter. Ham and eggs to order cost 12.50.
Eggs were worth 50 cents apiece and
an ordinary meal of deer or buffalo
meat, with potatoes or coffee and
bread, was never less than $1.50. A
man was very poor to get down to fare
so coarse as that.
It made no difference what a wan
might have been back In "the state*;"
If he was "on the square" In Vlrg.nla
he was accepted at par.? F. J. Arklna

SEATTLE, WMH,
Trade At Home
J F is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired th?
* mail order^habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. Th?
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, n r any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can ? * nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or the nan ds of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofthe commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against* mail order business.
