CALIFORNIA; GOLD HUNTERS.
Red shirted Miners StiIl Roam
Among the Hills in Search
of "COlOr."

1t is mistake to suppose that placer
mining is thing of the past in. Cali
| fornia. Bonanza strikes are of course
rare now, but in Lake county, in the CEN
tral part of California, men still hunt
for gold with pick and shovel and pack
mule. The red-shirted miners still
tread the lonely mountain trails from
digging to digging as they did in the
days of Bert Harte, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
Many OF these prospectors combine
the business of hunting and trapping
with that of gold seeking. In the win
ter they locate in some lonely deserted
log cabin, many Of which were built in
the old pioneer days. During the rainy
season they hunt the deer, bear, PAN
thers, wild cats, coyotes, foxes, raccoons
and quail with which the mountains
abound To them tie game laws are
dead letters. The meat they eat them
selves, but the skins theyedry and cure
and sell in the spring. With the pro-
ceeds they buy prospecting tools and
provisions, and then, to use an express
sion coined among these same forest
vagabonds, 'they hit the trail" All
summer they prospect, hunting among
the crags and in the old worn water
courses for color"
In that part of California there are
many old time pioneers who have mar
ried Indian women and settled down to
farming. Farming to them means prin-
cipally hunting and trapping, with
few cows and horses to keep up appear
ances.
Even to-day there is certain amount
OF lawlessness in those districts, as in
the time of the vigilance committees.
Not infrequently obnoxious strangers
are treated to primeval justice. This is
country where the tourist seldom
goes, and many of the inhabitants have
never seen railroad train.
Sometimes man decides to move his
whole family to other parts, and then
he loads his goods, his wife and his chill
dren into covered wagons like those
that are called prairie schooners. Then
they move on, day after day, until
suitable piece of land meets their eyes,
and there they squat. There are some
families who never live more than
year in one place, as, for example, the
man who was asked by stranger why
he was moving:
wall, ye see," he said 1--WE struck
this place last spring an there wasn't
nobody here but the Riggses over at
the fiat. But now there's a new family |
six miles over by the mountain, and an
other ten miles down the creek, and the |
country's getting too thickly populated,
and | guess We'll move on"

they were surrounded did they realize
they were in the hands of the officers of
the law; then there was shooting and
violent efforts to escape, but in vain!
One man was killed outright and the
other wounded severely-Don Simon
himself.
The other member of the band had
remained at the house, but Don Simon
suffered the full penalty of his many
crimes. Ere he was executed he sent
Lula as a present the famous Thunder
bolt-a token of his high esteem of her
bravery.
But Lula declined to keep the horse,
and sold him, giving the money to those
whom his master had most cruelty
wronged.
