disturb either of us that I remember
that we went to bed early and slept
soundly, Marshall cautioned me to
keep the gold find secret. But
Marshall was loquacfous and he him
self Dragged of his find. Five days
later several Mexicans brought in
more nuggets. Then the Mormons,
who were working for Sutter and
Marshall, found gold and the impor-
tance of the find increased a little in
the minds of Marshall and all Of us at
the Coloma camp. A few years later,
when the worlds commerce was turn
ed, as Lord Derby said, by the gold
discovery in California, and when
more than 100000 young men had
flocked to California, and had made
a new civilization, wondered how
we could have been so blind at first
to the meaning of the first nuggets
that Marshall picked up.
1.-THE news did not get down to San
Francisco, about $50 miles away, un-
til three months later. When the gold
was shown him, Captain Sutter said
Yes, that's gold, and it will be the
curse of u.s. meaning that it was the
end of their schemes for a big saw
mill and flour mill along the Ameri-
can River.

"The earliest stampede Of excited
men to the gold diggings Of Califor-
mia therefore began May y, 1913.
remember that day in San Francisco.
The whole population of the town did
not sleep and scarcely took time to
eat until the first crowd had embark
ed on all manner Of craft up the river
to what is now Stockton, thence
across the country to the north fork
of the American River. BY the first
of June the news of the discovery had
gone as far down the coast as Monte
rey. The gold diggers at Coloma were
by this time sending out so much gold
to buy provisions, tools and clothing
that convincing evidence Of the rich
ness of the sandbars and creek banks
followed closely upon the heels of the
news. All In central California who
could get away went chasing over the
country toward the American Fork.
Less than one-twelfth Of the male
population of San Francisco remained
when June had come.
"The first year Of gold mining in
California-that is from May, 1S4S,
to May, 1SA9-was far different in its
easy, quiet way from that created by
the excited gold hungry easterners,
who, with the opening Of the spring
and summer OF 184s came swarming
across the plains, over the Isthmus
and around the Horn. There was lit
tie or no gambling. The miners left
their pounds of gold under their beds

camp. There were no mining laws to
be considered. 1t was a perfect min
ing Elysium.

his and Captain Suffers property was
