choice in shaking from his restless feet
the dust of tanner civilization. lie
needed a larger theatcr Of action foT his
pent-up and surging activities. While
trailing through the mountains of Utah
the pioncevs were attacked by Indians,
who were beaten off during six hour
fight in which young Baldwin killed
their chief. After six months OF hard
ship the party reached Hangtown Cater
called Placerville). 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 Virgin
in City. Thither he drifted and discoy-
cred that his natural bent was gam
bling with the mines that other men
had opened. Amid whirlwind OF
speculation he fought his way with
such success that he doomed from the
smoke in few months as Lucky
Baldwin the man who had cleaned up
S7.5Oo,0GO in the gigantic deals In the
stock of the Ophir mines.
San Francisco was the Mecca Of
those lucky sons OF fortune who were
rearing a great city by the GOLDEN
