1t is odd that man who played an
important part in early Montana and
Idaho history should also be man
of mystery.
Such was the case of Captain Elias
d. Pierce, who in the summer OF
1860 led a party of prospectors into
the virgin gold fields of the Clear
water river country in what is now
the state of Idaho, and started the
second of the three great western
mining movements. This movement
was of such significance that it re-
suited in the creation OF the state
of Idaho from portion of the Oregon
territory.
No one knew much about Captain
Pierce and only few of the pioneers
around Erich Old Pierce" one of the
richest diggings of the early times,
named in honor of it's discoverer,
were able to recall details of his first
expedition into the country. Sixty
three years have elapsed since Cap
tain Pierce made his discovery and
while the rush was at high tide he
slipped from sight. The story of Cap
tain Pierce has been so meager of
substantive proof that it sometimes
has been discredited.
Look up Relatives
Historians have been content to
let Pierce come in shadow and after
playing his part, vanish in mist.
Research work conducted this sum-
mer by Cornelius r. Brosnan, of the
of American history at
the University of Idaho, brings to
light the only known details OF
Pierce's personal history.
In Moscow, the home of the uni
Professor Brosnan found a
cousin of the discoverer and from
her continued search until he had
located nephew and a niece in the
east. The cousin, Mrs. Clara Ran
som Davis, received her baccalaureate
degree at the university in 1898 and
her masters at commencement this
spring. She presented both the state
historical society and the university
with pictures of Captain Pierce
few years ago. The university's pic
ture shows Captain Pierce much
younger man than the one presented
the historical society. The latter
perhaps was taken before his depart
ure for the California gold fields.
Pierce is mentioned by most mod
ern historians as an Indian trader
and so little was known prior 10

CAPTAIN PIERCE LED GOLD
SEEKERS TO IDAHO DM 1860

Professor Brosnan's discovery that he
has been given but passing mention.
Not even his first name was known.
In 1918 Professor Brosnan had the
unique honor of publishing a first
picture in his school history OF Idaho.
Letters Give Sidelights
A bundle of dim, faded letters,
written during the days of 40 be-
tween Mrs. Henry Jenkins, Knox
township, Ind, and her husband in
the California fields, form chain
of historical facts telling of Pierce's
work and operations before he NOV
ed north. Jenkins was evidently a
close friend of Pierce, for nearly
every letter contained interesting
sidelights on the characteristics of
the man who several years later was
to have the distinction of being the
central figure in the second western
gold excitement.
Pierce and his party started pros
pecting in the Calaveras county sec
ton, but later moved to Shasta City,
Shasta county, from where he sent
encouraging reports. From Shasta
he moved to San Joaquin county and
later to Yreka in the Siskiyou noun

BUTTE BOY SPENDS THREE
YEARS AS KNIGHT OF ROAD
ON SEARCH FOR AID WEN T URE

His travels then carried him by
easy stages to Bonners Ferry, Idaho
and then to Wenatchee, Wash. Ii
was while at the latter point that he
fell in with Billy Farrell, then a
champion boxer of the Pacific coast,
and he became enthused with the idea
of becoming prize fighter.
BILLY was my pal, you see," he
continued, land / guess l would have

fact that I got run over by three

time he had engaged in three fights.

Trips to Alaska
His fighting career definitely end
ed by his injuries, he then cast about
for other adventures and in due
course of time he signed up as quar-
termaster aboard steamship bound
for Alaska. He made this trip three
times.
"On one of these trips we were
shipwrecked just outside of Anchor
age, Alaska" he said. ''The chief
engineer was an Englishman and he
didn't understand the American sys-
tenn of bells.
1--WE were passing out a narrow
passage when the captain gave the
signal to slow down. The chief en-
gineer mistook the bells and started
backing up.
"Then it was the captains turn to
get excited and he began ringing all
of the bells. The engineer didn't
know what to do so he gave her full
ahead and we wents high and dry
upon the rocks"
On another occasion, he said, when
their ship was carrying a shipment of
dynamite, a large locomotive that
had been dashed to the deck refused
to 'stay put" and broke loose during
a heavy sea. The heavy engine start
ed down the deck in the direction of
the dynamite cache and a near riot
ensued when the captain and his crew
came near doing a "Charlie Chaplin"
over the side and into the sea.
Overheard Instead
Another wave, however, saved
them. 1t caused the ship to rock
to the side and the wild" locomotive
tore through the rails and into the
ocean. Altogether he spent almost
year at sea before he decided to aban-
don the life of a sailor and engage
in business.
Were you ever broker" he was
asked.
Never but once and that was after
an especially severe crap game on
board ship when I lost all the wages
had coming to me from my three
different trips to Alaska. 1t amount
ed to about $3.50"
1t was in Los Angeles that he and
an acquaintance opened up a garage.
Everything went fine and I thought
we were making money until / dis
covered one morning my partner
could keep better set of books than
[ could. He already had about $500

had already passed over he jumped
across Oregon and Washington into
the Similkameen river section in
British Columbia, but returned to
Walla Walla in 1858. He tried farm
ing for while and built up herd
of Is cattle, when he was lured back
to the trail by reports brought to
Walla Walla by traders. Confident
that gold could be found in the Clear
water country he organized party
and in 1859 started into the noun
tains. His entry into the Nez Perez
country was opposed by the Indians,
but the party declined to turn back
With Dust to Sell
'Colors" were found in the sands
of Canal creek, near the present town
of Orofino, and additional prospect
ing was planned. The following year
miners returned to Portland with
dust to sell and their tales of the fab
ulous richness of the new fields soon
flooded the trails with miners. The
California fields were quickly drain
ed and the movement quickly spread
into all parts of Idaho and into Mon
tana and Washington. When the
excitement reached its crest, Pierce
disappeared, but to this day the town
which grew around his first prospect
ground and placer diggings bears his
name.
When it came time for historians
to gather in the story of the gold
discovery in Idaho they could find
only scattered fragments and the dis
coyery this summer seems to have
saved this remarkable incident from
almost complete oblivion.

For three years and a half listed
in the minds of his friends as miss
ing during which time his parents
had conducted nationwide search
without finding the slightest trace OF
him, Frank A. Ironside, Is, son OF
Dr. F. A. Ironside, prominent Butte
dentist, has returned home robust
man with long story of adventure,
but with system well filled OF trav-
els.
1t was a desire to travel that lured
him away from home on cold win
| try evening during January of 1919
without a cent in his pocket, but it
was the longing for home that
brought him back and not an empty
pocketbook.
At the time of the boys disappear
ance, DIR. Ironside sent out a descrip-
ton far and wide. He also adver-
tised extensively in the newspapers
for his son, who had so mysteriously
dropped from sight. Weeks lapsed
into months and months into years
and hope had almost been abandon
ed of ever receiving word from him.
The story the young man relates is
full of interesting details, including
life at sea, during which time he
was shipwrecked, and venture in
business, when, as he explains 1T, his
partner kept "better" set of books
than he did with the result that he
awoke one morning to find himself
broke and his partner the possessOr
of more than $500 of his hard-earned
cash.
That Roaming Fever
During his ramblings he has made
three trips to Alaska and one trip
to Peru, but then these experiences
are only part of his story.
"Why did you want to leave
homer" he was asked.
ooh, don't know" was his reply.
81 just got the roaming fever one
evening after I came home from high
school and pulled out.
Leaving home about 7 o'clock on
the evening of Jan. 18, 1919, he said
he walked to Bozeman without stop.
"And I want to tell you / walked
every step, too" he said. 81 know
every one of the ties between here
and Bozeman
With his passage from the city
limits the young man known as
Frank Ironside to his parents and
friends ceased to exist for more than
three years.
Once he saw the lights of the city
dimming behind him he cast aside
his regular name and like a real
knight Of the road assumed an alias.
Thenceforth and until his return to
Butte he was known wherever he
went as James A. Bush.
The first six months after leaving
home he spent in the Gallatin valley
working on a stock ranch and then
he again fell victim of the wan
derlust. This time it was Kalispell
for which he headed and it was here
that he ran into his first real adven-
ture.
Fire Fighters Trapped
Soon after his arrival he had hired
out to the forestry service as a fire
fighter. One day while attempting
to check the fires that were sweeping
through that section, he and five
other men found themselves trapped
in a small ravine with wall of
flames raging about them. eve just
figured our time had come and kept
on fighting. But luck was with us
and we finally got out"
