Doubleday, Page & Ce. Then McNally haa an inspiration, "Will you go, Sam, if we pay you for going?" he asked. t "Sure," replied the trapper at once. "I'm a laborin man. I'll go anywhar Fm paid to go." It came out that Bagsby's ideas of proper compensation were his supplies, $15 a week in gold and. a drink of whisky twice a day! In all this gold country he was the only man I met who genuinely despised money, I real ly Hak we were hurried to our decl- sion by this unexpected reasonable- ness on his part. At any rate, we de- cided definitely to go. ' There were nine of us--Bagshy, Yank, Johnny Fairfax, myself, Don Gaspar, Vasquez, McNally, Buck Bar- ry and Missouri Jones. Bagshy got us up long before day- | light. The air was chilly. In contrast to. the terrific heat to be expected off. came upon some men digging in a dry wash. They had piled up a great heap of dirt from a hole. We stopped and talked to them and discovered that { they were working what they called "dry diggings." The pay dirt they ex- envated from wherever they found it, piled it in a convenient place and there left it until the rains should permit its washing. They claimed 'thelr dirt would prove to be very rich, but [I thought myself that they were labor ing in great faith. Also we learned what Bagsby had known right along, but which he bad not bothered to tell us--that we were now about to cross the main overland trail. We stopped that night near the road and at a wayside inn or roadhouse of logs kept by a mest interesting man. He served us an excellent meal, ins cluding real eggs, and afterward join- ed ws around the fire. He was an Italian, short, strongly built, with close curly hair, & rollicking, good natured face, and 'with tiny gold rings in his ears. Johnny and he did most of the talking, while we listéned. No part of the civilized world seemed to have been unvisited by this pair. Johnny mentioned Paris. Our host added an timate detnil as to some little street. London appeared to be known to them from ene end to the other: Berlin, Ed- inburgh, 8t. Petersburg even, and a host of other little fellows .whose names bE pever kpew before and cannot k now. They swapped remi- of the streets, the restan- rants and the waiters and proprietors thereof: the alleys, and byways, the parks and little places: SI kuew in a general way that Johnny had done the grand tour, but the Italian with his gold earrings and his strong, 'brown, good humored peasant face puzzled me |} completely. How came he to be so traveled, so intimately traveled? He | was no sallor. That 1 soon deters mined: The two of them became thoroughly interested, but after a time the native courtesy of the Italian asserted itself. "He evidently thought we might feel | left out of it. though I think the oth- ers were, like myself, quite fascinated, "You lika music?" he smiled at us engagingly. - "I getta my Italian 6d- dle? No?" He arose at our eager-assent, pushed aside a blanket that screened off one end of the log cabin and 'wroduced his "Halian fiddle"~a band organ!

As my shad. ow fell upon it I caught a glimpse of & big trout scurrying ato the darkiiess beneath a bowlder.

I have since repeated the sensations of that day--on a smaller scale, of course--in whipping untried trout wa- ters, same early excitement and en- thusiasm, same eager sustained per- sistence in face of failure, same in- credulous slowing down, same ultimate { discouragement, disbelief and disgust | All that day I shoveled and panned later in the day, so we hastened to | finish our packing and at dawn were | All That Day | Shoveled and Panned. The early morning freshness soon dis- sipated. Between the high mountain walls the heat reflected. All the guail stood beneath the sbade of bushes, their beaks half open, as though pant- ing. The birds that had sung so sweet- ly in the early morning had somewhere sought repose. [ could occasionally cateh glimpses of our horses dozing un- der trees. Even the chirping insects were still. As far as I could make out Twas the 'only living thing foolish enough to stay abroad and awake in 'that sulfocating heat. The sweat drip. ped from me in streams. My eyes ached from the glare of the sun on the rocks and the bleached grasses. To- ward the close of the afternoon I con- fessed sneakingly to myself that I was just a little glad I had found no gold and that I hoped the others bad been equally unfortunate. - The thought of working day after day In that furnace heat was too much for me, \ My hopes were fulfilled. ,All came in that night tired, bot, dirty and discour- aged. Not one of the eight of us had raised a sign of color. "Well," said Bagsby philosophically, "that's all right. We've just got to go Higher." Tomorrow we'll move up stream." \ Accordingly nest day we turned at right angles to our former route and followed up the bed of the canyon ten or twelve miles toward the distant main ranges. About 4 o'clock we camped. The flat was green. Little clumps of cedar pushed out across it. The oaks had given place to cottonwoods. We tad ol to make acquaintance with new v ; . The following morning we went pros- pecting again. My indtructions were for the dry washes in the sides of the hills.' Accordingly I scrambled up among the bowiders in the nearest shaped, ravine., 1 had hardly to at alk.

If I see it I'll get drunk!" Yank and McNally at this moment strolled from around the bushes. We all burst out on them. "See your fool nuggets and 'color and raise you this" drawled Yank And he hauled from his pocket the very largest chunk of virgin gold it has ever been my good fortune to bes hold. It was irregular in shape. pitted and scored, shaped a good deal like an egg and nearly its size. | One pound And a tiny fraction that great. nu; balanced when we got arou weighing it. And then to crown glorious day which the gods were brimming for us came Don Gaspar and Vasquez, trailed by that long and sat- urnine individual, Missouri Jones. The Spaniards were outwardly calm, but their eyes snapped. As as théy saw us they waved their has. "Ab, also you have found the gold!™ cried Don Gaspar, sensing immediate. ly the significance of our presence. "We too, .It is of good color, there above by the bend." His eye widened he saw what Yank held. "Madre Dies!" he murmured. McNally, who had said and done nothing, suddenly uttered a resound- ing whoop and stood on his hands, Missouri Jones, taking aim. spat care fully in the center of the fire, missing the dishpan by a calculated and ac curate inch. "The country is just flowing with gold," he pronounced. Then we blew up. We hugged each other, we pounded each other's backs, we emulated McNally's wild Irish whoops, finally we joined hands and danced around and around the re mains of the fire, kicking up our heels absurdly. Bagsby, a leathery grin on bis face, stood off one side. He still held his long barreled rifié, which he presented at who ever neared him. "I tell you, look out!" he kept say- ing over and over. "I'm shootin' Muna: tics today, and apparently there's plen- ty game to choose from." Although we did not Immediately run into the expected thousands, nor did the promise of that first glorious day of discovery quite fulfill itself, nev- ertheless our new diggings turned out to be very rich. We fell into routine, and the days and weeks slipped by. Bagsby and one companion went out every day to hunt or to fish. We took turns at a vacation in camp, Every night we "blew" our day's collection of sand, weighed the gold and packed it away. Our accumulations were get- ting to be very valuable, Kor a month we lived this idyllic life quite unmolested and had gradually come to feel that we were so far out of the world that nothing would ever disturb us, The days seemed all alike, clear, sparkling, cloudless. It was my first experience with the California feliate, and these things were a per- petual wonder to my New England mind. .
