mooNsHlNe IN MINING.
Illicit Gold Gathering in old-Time Cal
ifornia.

Mining In California isn't much
more spectacular than distilling now
but each has It's feature OF fugitive
romance" said james Gillett former
governor Of California. I'm the south
they have moonshine distilling, IN
California We have moonshine mining,
though In a much less degree now than
when ] was governor.
"This Illicit gold gathering sprang up
In California after the legislature
passed the law prohibiting hydraulic
mining. The reason was that the ny
draulic miners were filling up the
streams with the debris they dislodged
in their work. The bed Of the Sacra-
mcnto river was raised nearly eight
feet, seriously hampering traffic, and
tremendous damage was done TO the
river resources by this mining.
The miners thought # was class
legislation to make them stop their ny
draulic work. They regarded It pre-
rogative. the same as the mountaineer
does making his own whiskey. And
they were most ingenious in concealing
their operations.
1T was reported several times that
this moonshine mining was going on
in the mountains of Nevada county,
rear the famous Grass Valley mines.
We sent detectives 10 stop them. A
few arrests made the operators all the
more wary. They would work at night,
4 In
daytime. When the spring freshets or
heavy rains came they worked cease
lessly, using the muddy currents to
hide their operations. The dirt in that
country is red clay, and II was easy
to tell whenever the miners were at
work by the coloring Of the stream.
"The profits were big. often they
would work on land that did not be-
long TO them, stealing water from some
irrigation ditch, and dropping 1t sew
eral hundred feet, thus giving tremen-
dous pressure. In a night they would
clean up 800 or more.
when the detectives became active
the moonshiners would operate with
lookouts. They would also labor under
the full moon. The lookout would
stand with a pan OF mercury, which
would mirror the entire panorama.
With it he could see persons approach
ing at his rear. casually give the sig
nal to confederates and start across
the mountains as though hunting or
prospecting Lone moonshiners would
work during the daV with the pan of
mercury as the alarm signal, fleeing
whenever they saw any one approach.
"To this day the illegal miners oper-
ate on a small scale, but their neigh
bors seem to be in sympathy with
them and protect them as much as
possible As their operations aren't
extensive enough to hurt the streams
the state let's them go. The moon
shine miner is a romantic character

The Chronic Knocker.

|
The rexline Herald has the fol-
knocker:
In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth. Later
he created man and woman. Next the
knocker butted in without an in
vitation and he has been butting
in ever since, just at the time when
his presence is least desirable. He
first appeared in the form of Ser
pent, and he has been appearing in
the form of most everything from
grasshopper to a donkey ever
since. When he cant find anything
else to knock on, he growls about
mis- wife's cooking and eases him
self by telling the children what
good brats they are.
He knocks on the church because
there happens to be people almos.
as worthless as he is in it.
He knocks on the schools where
in some instances he has no chii-
postmaster just when he lmagines
ne ought to. He knocks on one
neighpor because he is successful
and on another because he is un-
fortunate. He knocks on his town
constantly and keeps a chunk OF
encouragement handy to throw at
every public enterprise that comes
along.
He contributes nothing to the
public welfare, yet is everlasting
iy nursing a sore spot against the
world because he feels that he has
not been treated properly. He knocks
at the local paper because it is MOI
as large as the Chicago Tribune,
but roars long and loud when he
is asked to pay up his subscription.
Knocking is like small-pox-it's con-
tagious. Most any man is likely to
be guilty of the offense occasion
ally, but he ought to go out and
kick himself every time he errs in
this way. Don't heed the knocker!
Turn a deaf ear to his tale OF woe,
lest you be repeating il. Knocking
is an expensive pastime. 1t has de-
stroyed friendship, broken up homes
changed the course of railroads,
blocked important legislation, de
populated cities and played "old
heck" ever since the devil broke
into the Garden of Eden and knock
ed an apple on the tree, whose
mortal taste brought death to the
world and all of our woe. If you
have the knocking habit, now is
sood time to take it out and bury
it so deep that forty tons of dyna-
mite couldn't blow it out of its
resting place. But II you must
knock. turn your hammer on the
tariff bill, Cannon. Roosevelt, DR..
Cook or some other person, place or
thing. Give your neighbor the glad
hand and your town the glad word.
The only way to make the world
better is to get better yourself. Get
busy and you will forget the faults
of others. The world is a pretty
good place for those who make II
so. Therefore don't knock. unless
II is TO knock the stuffin' out OF
some chronic knocker'
