About Stampedes.
zen.

The last chapter in the long history
of stampede's for gold mining PROPOSE
tions is not yet written. When it shall
be, it will be learned how little of the
precious metal entered into the ele-
ments which originated and promoted
them. 1t will tnen transpire that many
stampedes had their birth in the Gu
pidity of some, in the greed of others,
including transportation and trading
companies, and in the desire of con-
scienceless spectators to coin dollars
out of the misfortune of the over san
guine ignorant and the unfortunate
adventurous. 1t will also be seen that
though few of the stampeders un-
earthed little of the shining dust,
the many found only privations, suf-
fering or death at the end of their
search. A few, a very few, gold stam-
pedes panned out well.
The first one in the history of stam-
pedes for gold in the west occurred in
lS49 when the great rush to California
was inaugurated. The rich placers
discovered aud worked in that state
bear abundant evidence that the hopes
of many of the pioneer gold seekers
ended in fruition. The gold was there,
was easily obtained, many, if not all
found it, but the majority lost it, some
by improvidence, or unfortunate spec.
ulation, or by i'll health, but all united
in the declaration that California was
golden state Another like area OF
gold bearing country may never be
found. The far north may duplicate
California in placers but not in all
that makes a country desirable foI
salubrity of climate and for its diver
sity and wealth of resources. But
even in that state where every locality

for more gold were of too frequent oc
currence for the peace and welfare o.
those who joined in the mad rush fol
sudden wealth. There are those living
who sacrificed their all in the stamped,
to the mythical "Gold Lake" in which
it was said, great, round, smooth boul
ders of gold could be rolled out from
the clear, cool waters which covered
them. The Fern river excitement end
