Directly following this wonderful
discovery in the bed of the creek it
was found that there was a thick
vein Of decomposed quartz and free
gold running up the side of the ad-
Jacent mountain. which they had
named Gregory Hill. This was staked
of in claims of 100 feet each and
divided among the members Of the
company who drew lots for the first
second and third choice. etc. and
it was these mines which subse-
quently proved of unheard of rich
ness and from which have since
been taken immense quantities of
gold, a substantial contribution to
the sound currency desirable in all
financial transactions.

heroes made this valuable discovery

sums to others. who, with less good

some idea Of the importance OF
the first discovery of cold on The
backbone OF the continent" by our
yalOrous South Bend pioneers is
gained los a retrospective view of the
advancement Of the financial condi-
lion Of the human race from the
dawn OF civilization" down 10 the
twentieth century From the begin
ming Of time gold had been valuable
for the uses OF man: the ancients
were acquainted with il. but the
quantity they had vas so small that
il was only employed in the mSking-
OF ornaments Primitive man. for
lack Of better materials. used the
pelts Of animals. feathers Of birds,
and products of forest and field as
medium of exchange, but as he grew
ina wisdom and developed in civiliza-
ton he adopted such mineral prod
ucts as silver brass. copper and iron
as currency. But the low value of
those materials rendered them too
bulky for the purposes intended, so.
when gold was discovered in Aus
tria, Saxony and spain during the
middle ages, il marked new era in
the evolution OF the business world.
Though the supply was meager. for
the first time il was employed as
money. bur as the human family in
creased and its financial require
ments broadened. the difficulties
arising from the scarcity OF the
precious metal grew more acute.
and the lack of sufficient gold in
time became a serious impeachment
in its progress; hence the California
discovery in 1913 and Australian
find in 1851 came like a divine
blessing. PrOvidential as was this
increased volume Of gold il was still
not sufficient to meet the ever in
creasing demands of trade, and IL
was left for the adventurous men of
