The camp is named from W. G. Creole,
| who forty nine years ago was born at Fort
Wayne, Ind. At nineteen he became q
scout in the Regular Army of the United
States, and for seven years served in the
Indian country. In 1869 he started pros
| pecting, and since then has become ac-
! quainted with almost every spot of fas-
cinating Colorado. Like many another
prospector, he has tramped over the
mountains month after month, blasted
away in the bowels OF the earth, hoping to
| strike it rich, and with every disappoint-
naent seen wealth in the dim distance
urging him on to try again.
Twice, when alone In the mountains,
that terrible mountain fever has had him
in it's grasp, but owing to the fact that he
does not know what whiskey tastes like
he has been able to pull through without
the aid of doctors. Moreover, he knows
nothing of gambling; and yet he lie gen
eral favorite among the rough miners and
gamblers OF the conelomerate settlement
at Creole. Modest, pure minded, cou-
rageous, generous to fault, yet the pos
SCISSOR Of untold millions, and the ac-
knowledged leader of settlement, OF
cutthroats, gamblers, and the scruff OF
civilization generally, he is the type of q
man not often met, but distinctively q
creation Of the great west. He lives with
q nephew in log cabin at Creole, and in
this nephew alone the new silver king
conides.
Mr.. Creede's great find was made in
May, 1890. How he made it is best de-
scribed in his own words:
Il climbed the mountains along the
trail of the float all day. The sun was
beating down on me and the CLINT of the
e at under my feet was binding. Just
when the western sky was tinged with
that gorgeous red we see here sometimes,
lifted my head, and there was, project
ing out in front of me, huge bowlder of
silicate, big as a house. Good God! I
almost screamed with delight. I knew it
was bound to come some day, but the
idea of finding it in such shape was APP
palling to me. staked off mine and
lied it the Mammoth. slept sounder
that night than had for years before. In
June discovered the Ethel and the Holy
Moses. I gave the latter that name be-
cause like odd Names"
After those many years of wandering
over the grand though harsh-looking
Rockies, his toll and perseverance are
being rewarded by an income Of 81 900 a
day.
Creede is situated in gulch, sur
rounded on all sides by mountains. 1t is
typical western town. Its seething, di-
versified population has come from every
where. Never since the days of early
Leadville has anything of the like been
seen. The scum of western life is there,
along with much of its sturdiest element.
Faro-dealers, arm in arm with Denver
Spectators, may be seen in the streets at
any hour.

a onEEDE COURT HOUSE.

Living in Creole is, of course, very ex-
pensive, says the Illustrated American.
There are probably nearly one hundred
hotels there; but it does not take much
to make Creole hotel. A plain board
shanty, sixteen feet square, with
blanket for door..i dignified with the
name Palace Hotel" Until short time
ago the hotels were similar to this one,
although many of them were made larger.
In all, the sleeping room held from TWEEN
ty to sixty cots, the use of which was
granted the tenderfoot at one dollar and
half each a night, with blankets fur
nishcd, or, without blankets, at only fifty
cents.
Every one sleeps with his clothes,
satohels, hat and shoes under his quilts.
The revolver is generally kept ready for
action. A meal at Creole costs 81. Beer
costs fifteen cents a glass, or eighty and
forty cents bottle. Whislzey that will
not kill cannot be got for less than
twenty-five cents a drink, and the bar
tender is careful that your libation is not
too large at that.
Labor is high. Any man who can drive
nail can command four dollars day.
and in some extreme cases they are paid
one dollar an hour. Boss carpenters get
eight dollars day, and are talking Of
raising the scale of wages. Laundry costs
three times as much as it does in Denver,
and no Cinnamon are allowed in the camp.
Rents, too, are enormous. A man who
went to Creede to rent a cabin declined
| because the rental was $3.50 per
| month. What makes the building
OF cabins somewhat dangerous is the fact
| that Willow Creek is above the camp.
The water ripples down through the main
alleys, and it is difficult for one to keep
out OF the wet Within less than year
six hundred burros have been Lost in foods,
to say nothing of the many cabins. There
is great fear already expressed of the us
| ual June food when the snow melts. and
arrangements are being perfected to erect
dixie.
