dozen or so families, part of the wholesale
placer mining movement born of the depreS-
sion stopped to work while in the old gold
camp Central City merchants came over and
opened a store for them.
How permanent will be this flicker of life Is
difficult to prophesy. Now and then few
tattered children scamper through the de-
serted streets while their fathers tediously sift
ore bearing sands for gold. The ghost of the
old town is enough to frighten them off
And when wintry winds whine among the
delapidated structures and snow drifts across
the deserted streets it will take stout hearts
to brave the deSolation
Mining men agree there still is gold in the
gravel and rocks at Nevadaville. It was there
when 1,200 men were on the pay roll of the
famous old California and had only to
use their Drawn to make handsome living.
It's still there If men find it in paying guam
titles or learn to wrest it from the earth with
sufficient profit to themselves, the ghost town
may stir itself to life again.
But, while they wait for that to happen,
Leonard Nichols tends the road and the once
gay mining camp slumbers on.

Saturday night always was gala occasion.
Singing men poured from the mines and treklked
down from the rock gulches to laugh and play
and shout and pour out their gold dust across
the bars and gambling tables
THEN times began to change. Men still could
find gold at Nevedaville-as they can to-
day-but it was costing to get it. Prices
were going up. labor demanding more for
its hire and the price of gold stood still
No longer did men need to fight on the
mountainous slopes for money or live in rug
ged frontier town where comfort was all but
unknown Cities were beginning to pay hand
some wages and were offering comfort to work
ing men
Returns were too low, SO the gold and silver
mines began to slow down. The famous Cali
fornia. where miners once went down for 2230
feet to get their gold. finally closed Hundreds
of men had worked in this mine.
There still gold in the California and in
other mines and placer claims. But it cost too
much to claim it
So men turned their backs on gold from the
earth to find new tasks until mining picks up
a bit"
They left their TOOLS most Of them, their
houses and their stores, just as they last used
them. They left their bars, their churches
and their school house as they stood. For.
when mining came back, the miners would re-
turn to live and work and claim more gold and
silver. But mining never has come back to the
level of those roaring days.
COME of the buildings have been torn down
- for the wood and lumber in them Some
have been carted bodily from their foundations

$4,000, 900 for Roads

THE national forests are doing their part to-
ward unemployment relief, with total of
S5,0o0,000 having been allotted for the con-
struction of roads under provision Of the relief
bill
The forest road construction program Is to
be carried on in "a States. It will serve a
threefold purpose. First, it will give employ
ment, and secondly, it will make the forests
far more available to those who seek recrea-
ton within their boundaries, and thirdly it
will add greatly to the necessary access into
more remote parts of the forest for fire pre-
vention work. 1t is by no means impossible
that the saving of valuable timber through this
third purpose may in time repay the entire
cost Of the highway work.
Illinois received the smallest allotment only
$478 being sanctioned for that State, while
California. with $829, ,566, received the most.

Only one of the s 900 persons who
once worked and played in the rolling mining
town still lives there. Even the mayor lives
and works in Central City, mile or SO down
the rocky, twisting gulch.
One of those mining camps which sprang
up. almost by magic, when the cry Of gold
rose out of Colorados rocky gulches in 1859,
Nevadaville never has died officially. Gone are
its saloons. its dance palaces and gambling
halls. its miners and mine operators, its evan
gelists and its painted ladies, but Uncle Sam
still carries it on the census roll as live,
incorporated town
The 1880 census gives the famous old ghost"
town population of two. One Of these since
has died, leaving only Leonard Nichols, an
old-time miner who has stuck on" now for so
years He is Nevadavilles one legal resident,
the towns only legal voter.
It was in 1914-18 years ago-that Nevada
vile held its last election and selected full
complement Of officers. Only three of the men
chosen at that time still live. Only one of the
three still serves in his official capacity.
He is John Doran, who works for a mining
company in Central City and lives in the rival
mining town. With his holdover privileges,
Doran actually is mayor. city clerk assessor,
treasurer marshal. fire chief and the board of
trustees of Nevadaville. And he still serves
in these capacities when called upon.
THE old town still receives about S2O0 yea
] as its share of the taxes of Gilpin County.
The fund always is spent in the same way
Nichols is awarded contract each year to
maintain the road through the sleeping town.
He is paid by warrants issued upon the treas
urer of the town of Nevadaville. Doran issues
the warrant and signs it as mayor and town
clerk and then countersigns it as the town
treasurer
Until three years ago. there had been
one to pay the taxes in this ghost camp
So Gilpin County put the whole town ON the
auction block at a tax sale, the Quartz Hill
Mining Co bought it for ST 900, and since
has paid the taxes. There are no individual
property owners Nichols occupies the house
