am pilgriming out OF this wicked
place."
BY the way, and before the writer
forgets something, this Breckenridge
town up in Summit county, the first
placer camp over on that side Of the
range. was founded in the early sum
mer of 1860 and attracted the usual
raft of hoi polloi from Russell Gulch,
Mountain City and the other funny
places in Gilpin county. where the
big mines were discovered. The rush
was 30 precipitous and the scramble
so great that no one took the time to
think of anything other than person
al interest in grabbing a piece of
sood wash ground along the creek.
The American spirit has always
yearned for government and SO one
evening when all the boys in the
sulch had assembled around the big
amp fire in central spot some one
with the sub-consciousness of having
overlooked something bethought of
the remissness in thus far forgetting
to give the founding a name. A big
ix-foot kentuckian arose to the sit
iation in a minute and took the bull
~ the horns. Recalling the name of
he most prominent family in his ma
i've state he waved his arms and
allied out: "All those In favor OF
,aming this camp Breckenridge will
line up on this side of the trail. You
III not SO inclined will stand over
there on the other side" There was
10 discussion nor much show for an
argument so most of the prospectors
staggered over beside the gentleman
from the bluegrass and in this way
Breckenridge got its handle.-Field

the music. The Star has always
thought Thursday evening would be

although IL is well known that the I'M
