THE DAYS OF GOLD.
Senator Prr1:is' Cd Mining Cabin
to be Exhibited.

forty miner camp viii prove an ever
more interesting feature of the fail
than was. at first anticipated. Eugene
Hahn, who has Just returned tC
town after tour through the inter
Tor, made IN the interest Of the pro-
ject, that the collection of old time
relics and curlosities will be far
more extensive than it was originally
believed could DE brought together.
A special feature will be number
of the mining cabins occupied in old
days by distinguished Pacific casters,
not copies, be it understood, but the
original structures, which have been
taken a part and will be transported
to this city and re erected at the fair
Senator Perkins old cabin at Thomp-
sons Flat, IL which i'll old days he
lived and slept and cooked his flap
Jacks and beans, is one of those
which is to come here. Senator
Fairs is another and John Mackdy's
is still third. An earnest effort
was also made to obtain the Coloma
cabin Of James w. Marshall, the
original discoverer of gold, but the
State OWLS it and permission to re
move it could not be obtained. As
the next best thing, however, an ex-
act fac smile OF the structure will
be erected, and within it will be ex-
hibited any number of actual relics
of the dead and gone discoverer.
Among these will be his saddle, level
and compass, all made by himself;
also his lamp; stove, cooking uten-
sils, etc, and a number Of other ar
ticles.
A fac-simile of Suffers fort, ten
by ten feet in size and constructed of
concrete, will also be given a place i'll
the camp, and within this will T..
displayed number of Sitter .,-,i,.,.
including a boot with wooden sole
worn by the doughty general, also
pair of his spurs; a picture the frame
of which was gilded by himself, also
the saw which cut the first boards
ever sawn in California and which
were used in building Suffers mi.
His cannon, first fired in California
in the year 1848, will also be exhibit
ed. Among other curiosities of the
camp will be the stage coach in
which Hank Monk drove Horace
Greeley on the latter's memorable
ride over the mountains, All the
relics will be authenticated, also, by
certificates establishing their genu-
ineness beyond the possibility of
doubt.
During the continuance of the fair
all the old-time operations of mining
life will be faithfully represented day
after day, and besides an illustration
OF everything appertaining to mining
and cleaning gold, the sports and
pastimes of the miners will also be
shown. Long pouches filled with
gold dust and nuggets-brass filings
and scraps-will be flung recklessly
on the table as of yore, and among
the old timers who will thus live
over again 'the days of old, the days
Of gold and the days of 40" will be
that famous Meadow Lake miner and
John Clarke. A mag |
figure of man, over six feet |
high and weighing $50 pounds, he |
will be an attraction in himself, |
merely to look at, but added to this
no one will be better able to show
Just how the forty-niners worked the
shovel, the pan and the rocker, and
between the times "bucked faro" for |
Ill they were worth.
