stampede to Suffer Creek seventy
seven years ago. In the realm OF
isagebrush, yucca and silence, thirst

ming a neck-and-neck race.
With excitement at fever heat,
| as hundreds Of gold seekers staked
out claims over an area of forty
square miles, California'S newest
mining camp went on the map
officially when its sponsors named
| 1t Gold Dust.
The naming of the spectacular
gold camp came just before noon
when a group Of Los Angeles min
ing engineers climbed out of the
seventy-foot discovery shaft al the
HerkeIrath property and gave 1t
their official 20. K" by taking an
option on 100 acres at a price re-
puted at well over a million dollars.
Since early last week an average
OF 290 automobiles have arrived
daily. Probably half Of them stay
and park on the various claims
their owners have staked out.
The first cafe opened its doors
yesterday. only there were no doors
on the building. It was a shack
near the Herkelrath holdings, and
meals were "$5 and up" another
sign proclaimed water, % cents
per cup" 1t did a thriving bust
ness.
All water is hauled from Kramer,
and all food supplies come in from
Adelando, the closest town, twenty
seven miles north.
Many women and children are
already in the camp and most Of
the men go armed. There are
many stories of claim jumping and
Sheriff Shay, Of San Bernardino
county, has appointed several dep
uties in the camp.
