SOME FAMOUS GOLD BUSHES
StampedeS of PrOspectOrs to Rich Mines All Over the
World

From Tit-Bi,s.
Stewart went mad. Walters dropped
their trays. workmen their tools. drivers
their reins. and stampeded"
Thus a daily paper. in its description Of
The excitement created in Stewart, B. c..
when the report came that seventeen
miles distant. at a place called Bitter
Greek. a great discovery Of gold had been
made 1t is the old. cid story Of human
avarice and greed. Reason disappears
when the gold fever seizes on man.
Two years ago three mining prospectors
tried thteir luck in the Nevada hills, 9OC
miles northeast Of san Francisco, where
they discovered a large deposit OF gold.
They told some acquaintances at the
nearest town. whereupon 200 railroad la
borers dropped their tools and began the
mad rush for gold. The news spread like
wildhre, and in few weeks the camp
Of the three prospectors. which had been
named Rawhide. had a population Of
10000 persons, and miners were arriving
a
at anything from e1.OOO to $500. while
some mining magnates purchased one
claim. which had been staked out by
syndicate OF twenty miners and had made
phenomenal yield, for el6oOOo.
The story OF Klondike is even more
amazing. The first find OF gold Of any
importance was made in lS97-not 10y gold
prospectors. but by a fsherman-at the
junction Of the Klondike and Yukon riv-
ers. Immediately the news of the rich
deposits of gold which were to be found
got abroad there WAS a mad rush, not
only from ali parts of America, but also
from Europe Soon 10000 persons were
on their way to the diggings, many des-
tined never 10 return: for some 500 miles

Joined in the mad rush without stopping
to consider the difficulties the journey
presented.
Hundreds deserted their wives. while
clerks. merchants, doctors, and lawyers
sold all they possessed to pay their way
TO the Klondike. But where one unprac-
teal man succeeded in enriching himself.
scores Of American professional miners
came away worth hundreds Of thousands.
In spite Of the warnings issued. however.
and the fact that it needed a capital Of
something like $500 to get from England
TO the Klondike. hundreds Of people Went
from this country only to return wrecked
in health and pocket
II Is a curious fact thatvswhen Mr.
Harry de Windt. the well-known ex-
plorer, returned from the Klcadike in
1897, he said, during the course of an, in
terview published in othe strand ldaga-
zine. that the Stewart region was richer
The Washington herald., 1910-08-14

even than the Klondike. And after a
dozen years there comes the recent ro-
mantle confederation.
The fact is not generally known. per-
haps. that it was the discovery Of gold in
California in 1877 which led 10 the dis
covery in Australia. Within four years
the annual output from the fields OF cali
fornia reached el2.000.O00 and il was a
Mr.. Hargreaves. who went as a miner to
California. who first discovered gold in
Australia. He was struck by the resem-
blance Of the rocks hear his home in
Australia TO the gold-bearing rocks Of
California. He systematically searched
for signs OF gold. and on February 7. 1S5l.
he found some of the precious metal for
the first time.
The excitement created by the discov-
cry was intense Towns grew up as II by
magic. Even police left their employment
10 try their luck at the diggings. while
sailors deserted from their ships as soon
as they arrived at port near the fields.
Men flocked in thousands to Baliarat and
Bathurst. and it was at these places
where the worlds biggest nuggets were
found
Fifty miles north Of Bathurst three
quartz blocks containing 1l2 pounds OF
pure gold were discovered and the Ia
nous Victoria nugget, single mass. of
virgin gold Weighing $40 ounces. was
brought from Rendigo. But the largest
nugget OF all was that christened the
Welcome. This was found at BaIarat
on June 4. 1S5S weighed 2.5l6 ounces, and
was valued at over e9.52 Within ten
years gold to the enormous value Of
eS6.OO0,O0O had been brought to England
from the two colonies OF Victoria and
New South Wales
There are still more chances. however.
for prospectors. Ike Croesus. the first
really rich man known to fame. who is
said to have discovered little gold mine
OF his own. TO find one for themselves;
for, according 10 authorities, the world
contains several unworked gold fields
quite as rich as any yet discovered. Parts
OF Siberia are alleged to be richer in gold
than the Klondike. while Sir Martin Con-
way said some time ago that along the
eastern slope of the Andes run many
rivers rich in gold
Perhaps. however, in these days OF oil
boOms. :. would be more profitable t.

after all. it must be borne in mind that
It was oil. and not gold. which made the
