CALIFORNIA GOLD DISCOVERY.
Made by Three Men Who Were Burying

Made by Three Men Who Were BuryIng
the Body Of q Fourth.
Gold was discovered in California in
1s4S and in Colorado in 1853. The dis
covery was accidental in both cases,
and the fact created the impression that
mines were Lying around loose" Ad-
venturers drifted about in hope of
stumbling upon mine" Mr.. Thayer,
in his "Marvels of the New West" men
tons several instances of lucky 'stumb-
ling" Three men, while looking for
gold in California, discovered the dead
body of a man who evidently had been
prospecting" poor fellow" said one
Of the trio. He has passed in his
checks" Lets give him a decent
burial" said another. "Some wife or
mother will be glad if ever she knows
it." They began to dig grave. Three
feet below the surface they discovered
signs of gold. The stranger was buried
in another place and where they had
located grave they opened gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted into
Leadville awoke one morning without
food or money. He went out and shot
a deer, which in It's dying agonies
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
of gold. The poor man staked out a
"claim" and opened one of the most
profitable mines ever worked in Lead
vile. dead Man Claim" the name
given to another rich mine in Leadville,
was discovered by a broken-down miner
while digging a grave. A miner died
when there were several feet of snow
on the ground. His comrades laid his
body in a snowbank and hired a man
for twenty dollars to dig a grave. The
gravedigger, after three days absence,
was found digging mine instead of a
grave. While excavating he had struck
gold. Forgetting the corpse and his
bargain, he thought only of the fact
that he had struck it rich"
But these "stumblings" are excep-
tons to the rule that mines are found
by painstaking, intelligent prospectors.
They spend wearisome months in ex-
ploring mountains and gulches. They
are mineralogists, biologists, and, above
all, practical explorers, who can tell
from twist" in the grain of the rock
or from the color of a spar seam wheth-
er paying gold" can be mined in the

times at the apparition of straw-hat-
ted and lnen-coated natives in the
solitude of pine woods, where, after a
decent interval of CHEEKY conversation
with the conductor and engineer, it
either took the stranger on board, or
relieved him of his parcel, letter,
basket, or even the vocal message with
which he was charged. Much of the
way lay through pine barren and
swampy woods which had never
been cleared or cultivated; much
through decayed settlements and
ruined villages that had remained
unchanged since the war-whOse last
gun had been fired three years before.
There were vestiges of the severity of a
former military occupation, the black
ened timbers Of railway bridges, still I'M
repaired: and along the line of certain
memorable march, sections of iron rails
taken rom the torn up track, roasted
in bOnfres and bent while red-hot
around the trunks of trees, were still to
be seen. These mementoes of defeat,
seemed to neither excite revenge, nor
the energy to remove then; the dull
apathy which had succeeded the days
of hysterical passion and convulsion
still fingered; even the slow improve
ment that could be detected was

had resigned from the army. the fact
that he had previously graduated at
West Point with high honors had given
him preferment in the technical ap.
pointment, and his knowledge Of the
country and its people made him val

that the country people had preferred
this soldier, with whom they had once
personally grappled, to the capitalist

gle.
The train rolled slowly through the
woods; so slowly that the fragrant pine
smoke from the engine still hung round
the windows of the cars. Gradually
the "clearings" became larger; they
saw the distant white wooden colon
nades of some planters house, looking
still opulent and pretentious, although
the fence of its Enclosure had broken
gaps, and the gate wagged on its single
hinge.

ready crushed, beaten down and tram
pied out of all semblance of its former
solitude. The heavy, springless jolt of
gun carriage and caisson had deeply cut
through the middle track, the hoofs of
-crowding cavalry had struck down and
shredded the wayside vines and bushes
to bury chem under a cloud of follow
ing dust, and the dull, plunging double
quick of infantry had trodden out this
hideous ruin into one dusty level chaos.
Along that rudely-widened highway,
useless muskets, torn accoutrements,
knapsacks, caps and articles of clothing
were scattered, with here and there the
larger wrecks of broken-down wagons,
roughly thrown aside into the ditch to
make way for the living current. For two
hours the greater part Of an army corps
had passed and repassed that way, but,
coming or going, always with faces
turned eagerly towards an open slope
on the right which ran parallel to the
lane. And yet nothing was to be seen
there. For two hours a gray and blue
ish cloud, rent and shaken with eXplo-
sion after explosion, but always closing
and thickening after each discharge,
was all that had met their eyes. New
ertheless, into this Ominous cloud solid
moving masses of gray Or blue had that
morning melted away, or emerged
from it only as scattered fragments that
crept, crawled, ran or chung together in
groups, to be followed and overtaken
in the rolling vapor.
For the last half hour, also, the
desolated track had stretched empty
and deserted. While there was no
cessation of the rafting, cracking and
explosions on the fateful slope beyond,
1t had still been silent. Once or twice
1t had been crossed by timid, hurrying
wings, and frightened and hesitating
little feet, or later by skulkers and
stragglers from the main column who
had boldly entered it from the hedges
and bushes where they had been creep
ing and hiding. Suddenly prolonged
yell from the hidden slope beyond-the
nearest sound that had yet been heard
from that ominous distance sent them
to cover again. 1t was followed by the
furious gallOping of horses in the lane,
and handsome red-capped officer, ac-
companied by an orderly, dashed down
the track, wheeled, leaped the hedge,
rode out on the slope and halted. In
another instant cloud of dust came
whirling down the lane after him. Out
of it strained the heavy shoulders and
frightened chain traces of six frantic
horses dragging the swaying gun that
in this tempest of motion alone seemed
passive and helpless with an awful
forelnowledge of its power. AS in
obedience to a signal from the officer it
crashed through the hedge after him, a
sudden jolt threw an artillery man
from the timber before the wheel. A

stractedly after him. The smoke had
rolled quite away from the fields on the
left, but still hung heavily down the
south on the heels of the flying cavalry.

from below. The freed sun caught the
white flags Of two field hospitals in the

marked by the languor of GONZALES
cence. The helplessness Of a race,
hitherto dependent upon certain bar
barrie conditions or political place and
power, unskilled in invention and sud
denly confronted with the necessity of
personal labor, was visible everywhere.
Eyes that but three short years before
had turned vindictively to the north
now gazed wistfully to that quarter
for help and direction. They scanned
eagerly the faces of their energetic and
prosperous neighbors-and quondam
foes-upon the verandahs of southern
hotels and the decks of southern steam
boats, and were even now watching
from a group in the woods the windows
of the halted train, where the head and
shoulders appeared Of two men of man
ifestly different types, but still alien

Two negroes were slowly loading the
engine tender from a wood pile
The rich brown smoke of turpentine
knots filling the train with its
singing fragrance. The elder of the
two northern passengers, with sharp
eastern angles in his face, impatiently
glanced at his watch.
"Of all created shiftlessness this beats
everything! Why couldn't we have
taken in enough wood to last the ten
miles further to the terminus when we
last stopped? And why, in thunder
with all this firing up, can't we &c
faster?"
The younger passenger, whose calm
well-bred face seemed to indicate more
repose of character, smiled quietly.
IF you really wish to know-as
we've only ten miles further to go-Tll
show you why. Come with me-"
He led the way through the car to the
platform and leaped down. Then he
pointed significantly TO the rails below
them. His companion started. The
metal was scaling off in thin strip.
from the rails, and in some places it
thickness had been reduced quarter
of an inch, while in others the project
ing edges were torn off or hanging il
iron shreds, so that the wheels actual!
ran on the narrow central strip! L
seemed marvellous that the train coult
keep the track.
"Now you know why we don't g
more than five miles an hour, and ar
thankful that we DON'T" said the younl
traveller, quietly.
But this is disgraceful, criminal!
calculated the other, nervously.
Not at their rate of speed, returne'
the younger man. The crime woul'
be in going faster. And now you cal
understand why a good deal Of tn
other progress in this state is obliged t
go as slowly over their equally decay
ing and rotten foundations. You can
rush things here as we do in the north.
The other passenger shrugged hi
shoulders as they remounted the plat
form and the train moved on. 1t wa
not the first time that those two fellow
travellers had differed, although thei
mission was common one. The elder

PROSTATE man, and the wheel went

followed out of the dust cloud, until
the whole battery had deployed on the
slope. Before the dust cloud had fairly
settled, the falling back of the painting
horses with their drivers gave a mo-
smentary glimpse of the nearest gun
already in position and OF the four
erect figures beside it. The yell that
seemed to have evoked this sudden ap-
partition again sounded nearer; a
binding flash broke from the gun,
which was instantly hidden by the
closing group around it; and deafen-
ing crash with the high ringing Of
metal ran down the lane. A column OF
white, woolly smoke arose as another

again a rising and falling medley OF
tapping hats, tossing horses heads and
shining steel appeared for an instant,
advancing unanimously up the slope.
But the apparition was as instantly
cloven by fame from the two nearest
guns, and went down in 4 gush of
smoke and roar of sound So level was
the delivery and so close the impact
that a space seemed suddenly cleared
between, in which the whirling of the
shattered remnants of the charging
cavalry was distinctly seen, and the
shouts and oaths of the inextricably
struggling mass became plain and ar
ticulate. Then a gunner serving the
nearest piece suddenly dropped his
swab and seized a carbine. For out of
the whirling confusion before them 4
single rider was seen galloping furi-
Ously towards the gun.
The red-capped young officer rode for
ward and knocked upward the gunner's
weapon with his sword. For in that
rapid glance he had seen that the riders
reins were hanging loosely on the neck
of his horse, who WIS still dashing for
ward with the acquired impetus of the
charge, and that the youthful figure of
the rider, wearing the stripes of a lieu
tenant. although still erect, exercised no
control over the animal. The face was
