THE FIFTY DOLLAR
SLUG WAS FIRST COINED
The Favorite Coin of the Pioneer Days Was
Manufactured for Two Years in Mt Ophir
Mill, Mariposa County.

tBy May Corcoran in MERGED Sun.
Beside the picturesque, although
nearly vanished ruins of Mt Ophir
mill in Mariposa county, is a crum-
bling pile of stones of much historic
value. II is the last remnant of
the first mill in California. OF
course even in the early fifties, the
government controlled coinage, and
in 1854 established a mint in San
Francisco; but no one ever ques.
toned the legality OF Mount Ophir's
great octagonal slugs, or tried in
any way to disguise their manu-
facture. although their coinage last
ed two years.
An atmosphere more romantic
than mereenary clings to the spot.
Situated on the bank of pretty
stream at the foot of lofty Mount
Bullion, and surrounded on three
sides by chemical covered hills, it
forms the heart into which once
flowed golden atoms or poured great
yellow globules.
Here men from the trails and
gulches. men glad with the new
life Of a new world, filed with
the elixir of hopes and ambitions
about to he realized by sudden
wealth. or intoxicated with freedom
from conservatism, with the power
of gratifying reckless passions,
brought TASKS of dust and bags
of nuggets and went away with
pockets full of the most clumsy
coin imaginable. For a slug was
two and a half times as large as
20 piece, in value $50, but
those opulent miners scorned any
thing smaller. Although currency
circulated in many forms during
those early days, the only bona fide
California coin was this queer half
hundred.
When the government destroyed
local minis, the shape of the slug
changed from octagonal to round,
and later when the sweating pro-
cess of stealing, by putting the
coins into sacks and shaking them
until particles were rubbed off, be-

FOR SALT
LAKE AND ELY ROAD
Judge Goodwin Shows the Necessity for
Direct Connection By Way of the
Deep Creek Section.

For the past twenty years or
more Judge Goodwin, the veteran
editor Of the Salt Lake Telegram.
has labored almost necessarily for
a direct road connection between
Salt Lake City and Ely, through the
Deep Creek country, which is not
only the most practical OF an routes.
but also one which would open
up several Of the best mining dis
tricts in the entire west. The build.
ing Of this line would mean much
to White Pine county. II would not
only be the best and most direct
line to the east but would also
afford transportation to several old
time camps within the county which
are now compelled to haul ores and
supplies from so to rs miles by
wagon and team
In regard to the proposed rail-
road recent issue Of the Tele-
gram contains the following very
sensible editorial suggestions:
We have letters from an old
gentleman in Aurnm district. Ne
vada He writes that he has held
his mining claims for many years;
that some Of the ahlest experts have
given their unqualified Endorsement
Of their worth, the only drawback
being distance from swift transpor-
tation; that more than one expert in
the past, when the developments
We're about the same IN Aurum and
Ely. gave the preference to Aurum,
but while he has not the slightest
doubt that by and by a great many
fortunes will be made there, he
is - years OF age and is anxious
to make some disposition of his
property which will take the care
of it from him and leave to him
the peace which he believes is his
due after working and waiting
and hoping 50 long.
The great property in Gold Hm
where more than million dollars
worth Of ore IS blocked out. is
temporarily closed down. for the
reason that to ship the ore for
so great a distance by team all
serbs too much Of the profits

with accounts Of new strikes IN

other, lead and silver strong veins
which, by the nature of the forma-
ton, must go to the deep There
is very much more Of the same,
but there you are We have often
gone over the subject but fate has
seemed to be against that region.
The different roads have made fair
promises about building there, but
none has materialized, 1t Is now

came popular and profitable
amusement, their use was entirely
discontinued.
Into the crucible at Mount Ophir
were tossed pocket specimens, so
Intricate, so delicate in fern-like
traeery and fowery shapes. that
their crushing seemed a pity.

One have seen was tangled
bunch OF miniature brakes. with a
butterfly resting on the apex, and
their stems in base of crystal Its
owner valued it above any luxury
or even necessity.
Here, as elsewhere, Indians be-
lieved that down in the earth's
center demons were burning this
metal and tossing it up to tempt
men to ruin, and when they saw
the liquidated ore in that house of
stone. they fled in such terror that
no persuasion or curiosity could
tempt them to return.
Still the little mint did its work,
its founders, whose names are by
most forgotten, reaped their reward
and no miner complained of unfair
treatment When the mighty hand
of law reached out, its harvest
had been reaped, its doors quietly
closed
All this was before Fremont, in
idle fancy, 1oated the grant OF
$4,000 acres of agricultural land
bestowed upon him for his service
during the Mexican war, on to this
mineral belt.
Local minis are no more. Only
this little pile of stones and the
memory OF old-timers bear testimony
to Caifornia's first center of coin
age, so much of the early history
of which is yelled in mists too
deep to penetrate.

began to tell the men Of capital
here that If they would raise a few
Thousand dollars and buy the second
hand rails and rolling stock here
Tor sale and build fifty miles of
that road. they could mortgage that
for enough to build fifty miles
more; that then they could extend
the road 10 where it would pay for
itself In a year and then supply
revenue faster than they could spend
1t to continue the road on through
Gold Hill Dutch Mountain and Fer
bur districts to Aurum and Ely.
Had they done It they would not
have pushed their road to those
camps and by this time would have
all been rich. Salt Lake would
have had the trade of all that re-
gion and would be double its pres
ent size and their railroad prop
erty would have been worth easily
SfV'VVO per mile.
The opportunity for part of that
is still open Two hundred miles
Of road would penetrate or flank
Clifton and Ferbur districts in Deep
Creek Gold Hin and Ferbur and
Aurum
THAT road would not cost much.
There would not be a bridge to
build after crossing the Jardon, the
grading would not cost $500 per
mile, and that we think the young
men on the farms within so mics
Of the city would do for a small
percentage Of money and the rest
in stock, the most costly item would
be for ties.
We are sure that secondhand
rolling stock and rails could be
obtained on most generous terms,
which would do for year or two
and then the road could be built
and sufficiently equipped for a
freight road for $4,000 per mile
1t would return the money in a
year and a half in frelghts, and
completed to Aurum It would be
worth, and would bring, twice what
it cost.
We have always thought that the
Western Pacific made a huge mis-
take in giving its road the direction
IL did BY this route the first 200
miles would be paying the company
more than the whole road is now
paying; its western end would have
been on the great mineral belt of
Nevada, the further it progressed
the more revenue would have been
coming in, as district after district
would have been fianked, and it now
would have the bulk OF all the trade
of Clifton, Ferbur, Dutch Mountain,
Gold Hill, Aurum and Ely and the
rich country beyond There IS a
fortune still to the men who will
build the first 200 miles of that
same road"

Hume YeringtOn Answers
to Final Call at Valleys

After brief illness, Marvin
Hume Yerington died at Valleys
at 1890 Tuesday night.
Though he had been ailing for some
time, it was only recently that his
took a turn for the worse.
All that medical skill and nursing
could do was provided for him and
his death was entirely unexpected.
Acute pneumonia developed but it
was thought that he would rally
from the attack.
Hume Yerington was probably the
best-known man in Carson City. OF

friends were legion and there is
not one who will hear of his death
but with the deepest sorrow Every
one Of his friends, and for all he
had the same cheerful word and
kindly smile under all conditions
of health and fortune.
He was so years and months
of age. He came to this city with
