there in March over the deep snow
on snow shoes, and to the tender
\ feet arriving from the east into Cum
nison, a man who could make that
trip was looked upon as hero. On
my return from my first trip was
! beseeched on all sides to know what
kind of country it was up there. as
all wanted to go where the rich mines
were. Walking along the street in
Gunnison on my return a great fat
man jumped in front Of me and
wanted to know if a lawyer could do
anything up there. Sitting on the
side walk in front of where John
Steele's hardware store is now was a
lean, sickly man, partner Of the fat
man. Upon my recommendations
they packed their blankets and hiked
out to Irwin, and they proved to be
the law firm of Dunn & Maloney.
The Pilot office was opened in a
log cabin with no floor. doors or
windows. Up to that time no lum-
Der had been sawed, as there WAS no
saw mill in the country until July.
VIM. A. Eckerly brought in q saw
mill and the Pilot had the first bill
of lumber, and I owned the first
frame house, paying $50 thousand
for the lumber and $40. a day for car
penters to build the house.
After many difficulties the Pilot
was ready to come out. Great ex-
citement was raging in this wonder
full new mining camp. People were
arriving daily by the hundreds, as
the snow by the middle OF June
would allow the people to travel
through mud and snow banks. We
had prepared a thousand copies for
the first issue thinking that enough
to satisfy the clamoring public, but
it was not half enough. On the
morning of June II, 1880, the first
copy was taken on the street and Jim
Tebbetts mounted on top OF whis-
key barrel, commenced to auction 1t
off. 1t was quickly run up to $75.
and sold to one Blakely, saloon
keeper. "Put up another" was the
call from the crowd. No sooner said
than it was brought red hot from the
press. It was bid off at $56. by L.
