In 1888, or more than a half century
ago, little party of gold seekers with
meager outfit eff horses and wagons,
started for California from the village
OF Racine, Wis. In command of this
adventurous expedition was a young
man who took with him his wife and
infant daughter. His name was E. J..
Baldwin and he made wise choice in
shaking from his restless feet the dust
or a tanner civilization He needed a
larger theater of action for his pent-
up and surging activities. While
trailing through the mountains of Utah
the pioneers were attacked by Indians
who were beaten off during a six hour
their chief. After six months of hard
ship, the party reached Hangtown
(later called Placeryille) in California.
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have
been no more than an ordinary red
shirted argonaut. meeting the ups and
downs of mining luck, until the dis
covery of the Comstock Lode at Vjr-
ginia City Thither he drifted, and
discovered that his natural bent was
gambling with the mines that other
men had opened. Amid a whirlwind
Of speculation, he fought his way with
such success that he loomed from the
smoke IN few months as Lucky
Baldwin, the man who had cleaned up
seven and a half million dollars in the
mines.
San Francisco was the Mecca of
these lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing a great city by the Golden
Gate. As a stock and mining specu-
lator, Lucky" Baldwin shone re-
splendent, but he was also loyal son
of San Francisco. He built hotels and
theaters and business blocks. even
While he was amazing that far from
conservative community by madly
frea kish extravagances.
In a very lucid interval he bought
all the Spanish grants he could find
near Los Angeles, and there spent
million in making this ranch of his not
only a splendidly productive property
but also one of the most beautiful es-
tates ever laid out in this or any other
country. 1t was his hobby. his pet,
and he planted miles of avenues with
noble shade trees, and made wonderful
tropical gardens, so that today his
home is surrounded by a paradise of
vernal beauty,@Ralph D. Paines in
