had no idea then OF the importance OF
his discovery and so little did the find
ing of the gold affect either of us that
both of us went to bed in the same
room at an early hour and slept sound.
ly during the night. Marshall caution
ed me to keep the gold find a secret
until we had time to 60 and hunt mug
gets by ourselves. But Marshall was
loquacious and he himself Dragged
about his find. Five days later several
Mexicans brought in more nuggets.
Then the Mormons, who were working
for Suffer and Marshall found gold,
and the Importance Of the find in
creased little In the minds Of Mar
shall and all of us at the Coloma
camp. A few years later, when the
worlds commerce was turned, as
Lord 1sr5y said, by the gold discov-
cry in California, and when over $780,
900 young men from all over the civil
lied world had focked to California
and had made new civilization out
here, I wondered how we could have
been so blind at first to the meaning Of
the first nuggets that James Marshall
casually picked up that February
morning in the mill race at Coloma.
Why, it was about ten days before
Marshall thought the find justified his
reporting it to Capt. Suffer, who was
at his home place and ranch head
quarters, known as Suffers Fort.
about thirty-five miles northwest. The
news did not get down to San Fran
cisco, about $50 miles away, until three
months later. Capt. Suffer said when
the gold was shown him, eyes, that's
gold, and it will be the curse Of us"
meaning that it was the end of their
schemes for big saw mill and flour
1nill along the American river.
Spread Of the News.
But another week passed before the
belief became general at San Francisco
that back in the mountains gold had
actually been found. I remember that
educated men argued that the geologi-
cal formation of the Sierras made the
finding of gold there an absurdity.
Some said the golden flakes exhibited
were iron pyrites. and others laughed
and said they were from copper
formation. The Sac Francisco Star
pitied people who could believe there
was gold enough in California to buy
even respectable meal.
A week later-on May II, believe
Scotch ranchman came riding into
San Francisco directly from the dig
gings. He was an intelligent and repu-
table man. He brought with him about
200 pounds of gold dust and nuggets
to trade for merchandise. Then there
was excitement and hustle. All that
day and night the saloons were throng-
ed with men who talked Of nothing but
the chances there might be for them in
mining.
The earliest stampede Of excited men
to the gold diggings Of California
therefore began on May 10, 184S. l
remember that day in San Francisco.
The whole population of the town did
not sleep and scarcely took time to
eat until the first crowd had embarked
on all manner of crafts up the river to
what is now Stockton, thence across
the country to the north fork of the
American river.

Nearly Eaten Alive.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Vera Ryan, 20
months-old baby, was nearly eaten
alive by a Newfoundland dog on the
back porch of her parents house at
S47 West Madison street. The timely
interference of Mrs. Hattie Hobart and
her daughter Mabel, who were visiting
the Ryan household, saved the infant
from the horrible death.
