BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chap. L
IN those days, the Northland was
a region of exceeding great
peace, quiet, and harmony, and had
been thus ever since the time it passed
from under the rale of the Great White
Bear to that of the Eagle. Forasmuch
as the forests and rivers did greatly
abound in fish and game, the dusky na
tives had ne.ver known want, and their
white brothers added to this, the know
ledge of the worth of useful ax:d pre
cious metals, which they digged from
the ground. And the fame of these
riches spread abroad; even to the utter
most parts of the earth
9 And from all quarters did come, men
of might and valor; men who held the
* chiefest of crimes to be cowardice and
ingratitude, whose household gods were
honor and hospitality; whose cabins
. were never left without the latch-string
hanging outside. And they builded
towns along the banks of the Great
River which drains the mighty North
west, and upon the branches thereof.
And the memories of men, not yet old,
delight to recall the good old times
when the sound of the pick by day, and
' the guitar by night, made giad the
the hearts of those who were fortunate
enough to be of the Pioneers of Circle
* and Forty mile.
<S And in the honest simplicity cf their
hearts they wist not but that these
good times should last forever. 1 jr they
had no thought or knowledge of the
coming horde of cormorants, who ware
even now filling their carpet-bags with
doughnuts while Satan looked on ap
provingly.
Quail Creek Notes
Langford & Ostrom have., sunk 17
shafts on 7b. They have located no
pay yet. Their best prospects were on
* the bench.
- Hagan Olson and Mike Donworth are
working together. Donworth got his
- feet nipped on the recent stampede to
Huron creek.
Neville & Rodolph are prospecting on
- Orphan gulch, and the benches near the
mouth of Quail. They will soon move
to Huron creek.
