Gordon's Gulch is becoming famous for its
gold deposits. About forty miners have claims
onthe banks, for a distance OF six miles from
its head in the mountains. The great lack of
water the past year has obliged the few miners
at work on it to pack their dirt from three
quarters of u mile to two miles. There is no
water i'll the gulch except during rain-storm
when the wash of the surrounding hills falls
into it. The miners expect good winter and
plenty OF work. Gordon Gulch is named after
Jack Gordon, as he was called, who left the
Apache Indians, where he was for some years,
and came to California from Arizona in IS49
with the command of Col. Jack Hayes. He
was looked upon as dangerous man, and at
one time Joined the Apaches in al effort to

THE GANG.

There are two political fac ions in Dodge
City-one known rs the Gang" ian cpl
tibet now commonly accepted with favor,)
and the other party known without any par
ticular appellslion. We had supposed that
the existence Of the old parties under their
former assumed titles and distinctions had
become temporarily extinct, to be revived
only when political contest. assumed shape.
We should infer that the life Of both poiiti-
cal factions we're Infused when local con-
test OF whatever character was b. ought about,
if We are to judge of the imputalions Cast
since the late meeting fer the lccation OF a
school house ii e. However, at that ne.r-
ing, the victorious party was not comps d
exclusively OF memb II oil the "Gang," but If
the life, spiri, and character OF Ib- Gang"
NUT be brought into requisition Tor all pub
lie purposes, it is well that We embody such
elements Of energy, industry and snierprife
Everywhere it is common TO designa'e the
dominant fiction with the title Of clique or
ring, but our border chooses to be less po'
lite, hence the term Gan" sticks dee siv ly
to the ruling faction in Dodge Cry.
The ''Gans" is noted for its boldnes-,
dash and rarid haste in matter of execution.
1t is not exquisite, perhaps, but is probably
100 bold and aggressive, and therefore IN
the rapid maneuyres is ap, to fall heay ly,
crushing out weaker forms under its pom
derous extremities.
No. it was only the spirit of the Gang
that took possession o. the school meeting
and peremptorily fastened the location Of
the school site on Boot II Il, >" sn eminence
known co-extensively with Dodge City.
Since we Judge things in their transition, il
is entirely fitting that the marks of the
early Period should be covered with the
crownit glory Of our civilizstion-the
school house The obiiieration of an old
graveyard, standing prominently on com
manding emiuence. nv placing school house
theron, could not be more in the proper
course OF appropriateness. If the Gang
must shape our destiny, hide the marks Of
early border life, and renew, solidify snC
progress in the natural order of things, ther
we say lie, the "Gang" move onward anC
upward, rejoicing in It's VICTORIES and tri
, umphs.
