There already was one building thereâ€"a fish-drying shed belonging to Fritz Klote. Then Ladue started for Forty Mile. . but _meet_ing a men who wanted some lum- “GOT IN ON CHOICE LOCATIONS" by reason of their superior foresight. It was blind luck. The staking went on down stream for six miles, and then began above, continued for seven or eight miles up stream, before the side gulches were thought of seriously. The first to arrive at the scene of the new discovery began staking down stream. That also Was a stampeder's custom. The chances were considered better there than above. It is all nonsense the talk one has begun to hear of persons, who would have one believe _ ' ~ some new arrivals, but few old miners: the latter being still in the dig- giqgs up the creek. ~_vâ€"ov was «of small significance. ' It Qras that of the professional stampeder, so to speakâ€"roundgrs_ apoug the_ - saloons, Carmack's story of $2.50 to the pan was not believed, though it was not ldoubted that he had found gold. A stampede followed. Drunken men were thrown into boats. I knew of fone man who was tied and made to go along. But there was no excitement beyond what attends a stampede for locations on any creek on which gold has been found. It differed in no resâ€" pect, apparently, from scores of other stampedes. There are always persona about a mining camp ready to start on a stampede simply as a chance,; whether good prospects have been found or net. Whole creeks have been staked out on the belief that gold would subsequently be found. So the e§citemeot of this earlier stage After staking, they rushed off for Forty Mile, or rather Fort Cudahy, established by the North-American Transportation and Trading Company on the opposite side of Forty Mile Creek. The recorder, or acting gold commissioner, was here in the person of Inspector Constantine of the de- tachment of North-West Mounted Police. The creek was named Bon- anza. were unknown and not discovered un- til a year later. Camack staked off Discovery claim for himself, and five hundred feet above and below for his two Indian companions, Skookum Jim taking No. 1 above Discovery, and Cul- tus Charlie, No. 1 below. The date of this is variously given as the 16th and 17th of August. About half a mile below the large tributary just mentioned the party stopped to rest. They had been pan- ning here and there. Camack drop- ped off to sleep, it is said. Skookum Jim, taking the pan, went to the rim of the creek, at the foot of an old birch-tree, and filled it with dirt. Washing it in the creek, he FOUND A LARGE SHOWING OF GOLD. Right under' the grass-roots, Jim said, he found from ten cents to one dol- lar to the pan. In a little while, it is said, they filled a shot-gun cart- ridge with coarse gold. The strangest thing was that this gold was not from the creek-bed prOper, but had slid down from an ancient creek-bed on the “bench," or hill-side, diggings that A few miles' walk along bald crest of the divide bring: one into the forks at “Rabbit" Creek. some distance from ! its head.

Said the late- comer: “I've come a good way. W'hat you are doing is illegal, and I want a claim and mean to have one." The man who was staking told him he would like to have his friends near him, and offered him stakes on 15 El . Dorado, if that would do as well. It‘ 3was accepted.

The liability to exaggeration about a mining camp is so great that it is im- possible tor any one to escape who , ’ writes or speaks in the midst of affairs 1 concerning any specific find. A man with a town site must also be allowed 1 a great deal of latitude in such matâ€" , ters. But soon the joke was on the 1 other side, ~Men who were on the spot _ would not believe anything they heard. Two of the men working on Indian River, came down, heard of the strike.

Among the first to hear of the strike. were four men who came from above «Dan McGiln-ay, Dave McKay, Dave, Edwards and Harry Waughâ€"and they located Nos. 3, 14, 15 and 16 below Dis»- oovery.
