Leading business men decided
three weeks ago that q fund Of
$260,000 be raised to advertise the
city, boost its products and offer
inducements to factories to come
here. The money had to be raised
by popular subscription. Every

Three days were devoted to an
intensive drive. Six hundred bust

Mr.. Manner, now 70 years of age,

Knew The Vigilantes.

"The vigilance committee had
caught and hung on this gallows
II of the band of 80 robbers and
murderers. The balance of the
gang left the country or became
better citizens. Plummer and Skin
ner, prominently mentioned in west
ern novels, were the leaders of this
band of robbers.
"There was very rich mining in
the gulch at Virginia City at that
time and $4,000. a day could be
washed with a pan. I saw one
nugget worth $500.
"At that time in Virginia City
and along the gu1ch it was esti-
mated there were 10000 or 1900
people and not more than 20 wo-
men and they were mostly of the
red-light class. There were but
few streets. The houses were most
ly built on each side of the gulch
with logs covered with dirt. Some
dug in the side of a hill or noun
tain, and did their cooking on the
ground outside. A great many
lived in the wagons they came in,
some in tents. I slept in the print
ing office with the bundles of
paper for a bed, but oftener on the
ground.

Wages were SIS a day gold

SO cents a pound. No such thing as
potatoes or vegetables of any kind
to be had, except you could get
onions sometimes.
Saloons and gambling houses
were plentiful. The whole front

nothing to hide the half log bar or
gambling tables. Border life was
seen in all its original wildness.
American frontier civilization was
in all its freedom, no prison,no
Jail to hold in awe the lawless ele-
ment.
Gold Dust The Only Money.
Everybody carried their gold
dust in buckskin bags and when
they paid for anything it was al
ways weighed. Six and one-half
cents was the smallest amount that
could be weighed. Everybody kept
their greenbacks, and spent the
gold dust, while in the states it
was the reverse as gold was worth
81 or more.
THE counters in the stores were
logs sawed through the center, with
the flat side up, holes bored in
the half log and stakes driven in
to hold it up.
Herds of Wild Game.
"In those early days the journey
into the new country was a very
eventful one. Large herds of buff
falo were frequently seen and elk,
black bear, prairie dogs and rattle
snakes abounded. While on the
way up the river the boat was
to take on for fuel trees
that had been cut down by beavers
and to bury a man who had died of
smallpox. Two soldiers went out
perhaps half a mile on the prairie
and shot the first buffalo killed
