4q' ers Road Map
Showed Way Into
New Gold Fields

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13. CUP)-
Ninety years ago, when Idaho"
was a vast territory including the
present state of Montana, Louis L..
Moline made three trips into the
gold country from Minnesota.
I)day, his grandson, Glen
Thompson, Minneapolis, has a copy
of the map Moline used on his
trips in 1848, 1854, and 1867. Maps
were sold to thousands of hardy
pioneers from all over the country
who left homes to become prospect
ors.
On each trip Moline discovered
gold.
For SIPS, the maps detailed
three routes after reaching the
center of Idaho: one cutting the
northwestern corner of Wyoming,
one to the north, and the other
leading into what is now Idaho.
Travelling in a covered wagon
drawn by oxen, Moline never car
r!ed a gun. Three times he barely
escaped death in hand -to-hand
fights, armed only with a knife,
against grizzly bears.
On one trip, Moline travelled
through to San Francisco, where
he established a shoe shop. After
the ShOD was deStrOved nv cart n =
quake, he returned to Minnesota.
The map listed instructions for
prospectors, advising them never to
travel without nine months sup
plies; never to "lug along bureaus
chairs, or bedsteads"; and advising
them to "invest your spare funds
IN tobacco, ammunition, boots
shoes, etc, and you will be able
to sell them at a 500 per cent
profit"
