MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 14, 1081.
Tlic Deserted Mining Camp.
Prank Wilkeson in New Yerk Sun.
In a deep furrow, ploughed through the
granite of the Medicine Hew Mountains by
a river once mighty but new .shrunken te
an insignificant creek, lies a deserted min
ing camp.
I had spent the day in the forest, walk
ing up and down high divides, examining
creeks and roughly measuring the water
they contained. I had in view hydraulic
works te be used en ap'aecr mine I owned.
It was growing dark in the shade of the
pines, when, with aneroid in hand, I
found that the ditch te bring water te my
mine would have te pass around a high
barren point of rocks. Satisfied that this
was the only serious obstacle that would
be encountered in digging the ditch, I sat
en a rock and figured the cost of "boxing"
the water around the point. Then, net
knowing my whereabouts, I clambered up
the rugged point se as te be able te see the
mainrangc and locate my position. Reach
ing the summit, I saw the sun sinking be
hind the snow-capped peaks of the Medi
cine Bew Mountains. The timbered flanks
of the hills were partially veiled by purplish
mist. Far below me was a glen, through
which ran a creek, its course marked by
willows. I perceived that 1 was miles from
my camp, and that I was hungry. Look Leek
ing into the glen, I saw three animals graz
ing among the willows, where the grass was
tender and unfrosted. Hastening down the
steep rocky incline, I found a trail, grass
grown and encumbered with fallen trees,
that led in the direction of the glen. Fol
lowing it, I was seen among the young
pines, that grew, thicket like, en a penin
sula that jutted into the swampy par!;. Ly
ing down en the edge of the young pines,
I looked into the glen. A black-tailed doe
with a spotted fawn by her side steed
among some willow bushes. Nearer te my
right steed a young buck. Standing in
the pine opens across the park was an elk
busily engaged in pawing fungi out of the
decomposed pine needles and greedily eat
ing them. Quickly I shot at the young
buck. The smoke from my rifle drifted in a
tiny cloud against my face, partially obscur
ing my vision. Indistinctly I saw the doe
and her fawn rush into the shadows of the
forest. The smoke cleared. Thedyingbuck
lay struggling en the ground. I hastened te
him, cut his threat, disemboweled him,
and, after cutting off a hind quarter, hung
him high in a pine tree. Wrapping the
ham in my blanket, 1 shouldered my bur
den and walked briskly down the glen.
Evidences of a mining camp were all
about me. On the hillsides were prospect
holes for leads. On the creek bottoms,
holes hail been sunk in hopes of finding
placer geld. I left the trail te leek at a shaft
ever the mouth of which steed a windlass,
from which a rene and buckets dangled.
A coffee pet and frying pan steed en the
cold and rusty stove that was in the corner
of a well built leg house near by. Toels
were scattered about. 1 hastened down
the trail in hopes of finding a house eccu
pied by men berere the ntglit overtook mc.
The trail led through an extensive placer
mine. Sluice boxes, partially filled with
water rnnning musically ever riilles.stoed in
proper position. A few picks anil .hovels
lay under the uncovered bed rock.
I reached the lower etui of the placer
mine just as dusk was turning into night,
and entered a long, straggling village. I
could sec the full length of the street. N't
a human being was in sight. Xet a deg
barkedjat me. "The miners are at dipper,"
I said te myself as I walked into the village.
Chairs steed before the open doers ; buck
saws leaned against half-cut sticks: shovel-;
and picks steed against the cabins : piles of
stove weed were before almost every heuse:
axes leaned against the retting slumps.
Hanging my meat and blankets en a tree,
1 shouldered my rille and walked from
house te house in search of men. There
were none. The village was deserted.
Finding a lantern in one of the houses, I
lit it and inspected the cabin", in order te
select a sleeping place. I choc a house of
four rooms that was fully furnished and
carpeted. The kitchen was equipped with
a geed stove and a full set of cooking
utensils-. There were sugar, tea. coffee,
butter, flour, and half a canvas-covered
ham in the closet. There were spring beds
with hair mattresses, and plenty of blank
ets in the sleeping rooms. On top of a
small bookcase, half filled with well-select
ed nooks, were two lamps tilled, witn coal
oil and trimmed.
I brought mybi.uikets and venison, and
cutting tenderloin stciks, seen had a line
supper cooked. After eating, I lit the lan
tern and went te the saloon in search of to
bacco. Entci ing the wide opened doers of
the large leg house, I ftund myself among
poker and fare tables. Searching among
the empty bottles and segar boxes behind
the bar, I found a few pipes full of plug to
bacco, and resolved te have my smoke in
the saloon. I lit my pipe and seated my
self in an armchair, and, cocking my feel
en a fare table, cast my eyes upwards. I
saw a stain en the wide-cracked plank fleer
above me. I looked down, and en the tight
fitting fleer of the lower room saw a
widespread dark stain. It is always cold
of nights in Recky Mountain valleys of
9,000 feet altitude. The frosty air sweep
ing down from the snow peaks chilled me,
I shivered as I smoked, and shivering, un
derstood that the dark stains were these of
bleed.
I departed from that saloon. Outside
the air blew briskly upthc gulch. A gib
bous moon rode high in the eastern sky.
The tall slender pines swayed te and fro in
long, graceful sweeps, sighing mournfully.
The rear of distant waterfalls and rapids
came floating up the gulch. The uncanny
sound made by the pine trees grating
harshly against one another mingled dis
cordant with the never ceasing music of a
well-watered Recky Mountain forest. The
grass in the lee of houses was hear-frosted.
Buttoning my coat, I resolved te see the
village by moonlight. Slowly I walked
down the stump-encumbered street. Many
of the houses were roofless, the ends of the
rafters jutting above the top legs. Look Leek
ing through the shattered windows I saw
the wrecks of reefs crushed under the enor
mous weight of snow that falls in the
timbered regions of the northern Itecky
Mountains. The sailing moon caused shad
ows and bars of ghostly light te slowly shift
their position, new hiding objects in the
shadows, then revealing unexpected and
even startling things. A large hotel, built
of hewn leg, the shattered weather-worn
sign obscured by shadows and projecting
timbers, attracted my attention by the ut
ter wreck of its Teel. Clambering en te
the perch, I flatted my nese against the
glass of an unbroken window, and eagerly,
expectanlty, looked among the mass of
broken timbers and shattered furniture.
A the irregular patches of light slowly
moved across the littered fleer, a pair of
rubber beets came into view, then some
playing cards, then a rusty white-handled
bowie knife. My attention was riveted en
the beets. Itheught I could see legs above
them. Steadily 1 rubbed my nose ever the
glass, vainly endeavoring te see around a
corner, until its tip was tender. Then, un
able longer te endure the uncertainty as
te there being a crushed man in the house
or net, I kicked in the window and dragged
the beets in the light. The supposed legs
were empty overalls. Quite relieved, I re
sumed my midnight stroll.
Passing out of the village, I followed a
read along the banks of a wide and noisy
creek. Pine needles thickly carpeted the
disused highways. Soen I came te an
other village. Standing high above the leg
huts of the mines were the shaft house and
stamp mill of a geld mine. I wandered
from house te house searching for men.
In the shaft house I lay down at the mouth
of the shaft, and listened intently, striving
te hear the meaning of the earth in the
workings far below me. The earth means
and cries as her veins arc robbed oft rcasurc,
and I was curious te knew if this abandon
ed mine was still crying or if the wounds
had healed. The silence was profound.
I dropped a stone and counted slowly,
one two three four five. Then I heard
the faint splash as the stone struck water.
" Xe wonder you are silent. Yeu are
drowned.' I muttered. Dangling my legs
ever the shaft, I cut a pipeful of tobacco,
and smoked as I repeepled the villages and
wondered why thedistrict was abandoned.
Slowly I walked homeward (home in the
mountains is wherever your blankets are).
The sky was overcast with storm clouds as I
re-entered the village. Far down Douglass
Creek I heard a strong voice singing. List
ening. T caught the.eft-repeated refrain:
"Hi! He! for placer geld!"
Tired sleepy I pulled my blankets
around me, and instantly lest myself.
It was high neon when I awoke. I rub
bed my eyes, sat up in bed, and smiled
kindly at "a ragged, dirty, snow-flaked,
handsome boy, a mere baby, who, open
eyed with astonishment at my presence,
steed looking at me. lie had a big piece
of my venison in his hand. Slowly I get
out of bed, walked te him and secured my
meat, saying te him : "Wait a bit : we will
cook it. Yeu get some weed." Without
a word iti reply the child brought weed.
Silent he sat by the steve while I prepar
ed breakfast. Heartily he ate. and while
drinking his tin cupful of black coffee he
talked, telling me that his father worked
a placer claim a short distance down the
main creek, and that his two little boys
lived with 'him. He had walked up te
the village te scaicii for semthing te eat.
Seeing my leg of venison, he had cut oil' a
piece te take home. The child was abso
lutely fearless and conscienceless. After
putting the house in order I rolled the un un un
eoeked meat in my blankets, picked up
my rillc, and together the child I
walked out into the storm.
The f.new was deep en the ground. The
air was filled with falling Hakes. The
willow bushes iu the parks were prone en
the earth, uuauiv te stand erect under
their burden. The pines and spruces
were heavily snew-kuleu and their boughs
drooped as though depressed at the pies
ence of winter. Oecasienaly a limb broke
with a sharp rille-like report-. Gayly the
child behind me talked of grouse he had
seen hitting iu a spruue tree, and childlike
he boasted of a great yellow nugget his
father had found a few days before. He
assured me I should feast my eyes en this
golden wealth. I asked him if he had
ever seen a brar, a bear with long sharp
teeth and great claws. The scorn with
which he treated my question was mag
nificent. "Hears ! who cares for bears!"
he exclaimed, and the fact that all ani
nials were afraid or men was vigorously
impressed en inc. Kindly he volunteered
te show me a bear's p.est, and did se a
cavity in a
the lair.
mass of granite rocks being
Ariived at
the placer claim, I saw a
gaunt jimber-jawed Pike standing iu the
doorway of a leg lint. His face was pale
and hi aidless. His long black hair hung
below his shoulders, the bone handle of a
heavy knife protruded from the rear pocket
of bis overalls. Seeing me, he walked
briskly through the snow te meet me.
His giay eyes lighted up warmly as I
held out my hand and introduced myself.
Entering the house, I d topped my blank
ets en the fleer and told my het of the
deer I had shot and where 1 hung him,
and said lie could have the meat if he
would go after it. He excused himself for
Icavin-r me. with tha remark that wildcats
might drag the dceimlewu from the tree if
he diil net act promptly, and went alter
promptly, and
the meat at once. The two
were talking together by the
lilacs-, audi heard the words '

srrv. wen t veu cook some ler me
iii
" Of com se I will," I replied, and I did
se.
Toward nightfall my host returned.
That night, as we sat around a blazing
lire, he told me of the time when the de
serted village was full of life. Three sa
loons kept open day and night. Relays of
dealers relieved each ether at the fare
tables, and the game was always active.
The dense pine forest resounded with the
reports of giant powder exploding as
shafts were sunk. All was excitement.
Every day men galloped into town te
record the finding of new leads. Every
night little packages of soiled paper were
unfolded en whi&ky-staincd counters,
and the geld from "prospect pans" of
gravel was shown. Almest daily, men
came in from distant gulches with geld
dust. On Saturdays the miners caine
down from the frozen .'dopes te the Snowy
Range with sacks of samples of their finds
and the leads recorded. Day after day
the money these miners brought into the
district shrank in their pockets. As the
mouths rolled by the players that once
crowded around the fare tables in their
eagerness te copper the queen and bet
the ace open dropped away from the game.
The miners no longer smoked twenty-live
cent cigars. The gamblers left the doom deem
ed camp. The livery stables closed. The
silence of the dying camp was no longer
broken by the yells of geld miners en a
spree. The reports of pistols and clash
of knives no longer resounded in the smoke smeko smeke
laden air of the saloons. Day by day the
impression grew among the miners that
the leads and placers were weithless. At
short intervals parties of two and thrca
left the camp te search for some mythical
placer of fabulous richness, discovered by
"19ers," and abandoned iu their greed
for California ireld. The gulch with a
prospect hole dug en the south bank at
the loot of a blasted pine, and opposite a
great boulder of red granite, was assidu assidu
leusly searched for but never found. The
village school closed. The teacher went
prospecting. Then came the great news
of the discovery of carbonates at Leadville.
The camp was abandoned in a single night
The knowledge that their placers were
lean and their leads leaner had prepared
them for a stampede.
My host bore the name Dirty Peter net
that he deserved it. Tenderly he spoke
of his having te remain in the abandoned
district en account of his mjthcrless
children. They had no relatives except
ing himself. He could net bear te part
with them te strangers. The country
was exceedingly healthy and the water
pure. Their wants wen few, and he
could support thcai with the geld he ob
taiucd from his lean placer claim. As he
talked the youngest child was sleeping in
his arms, his little hands clasped in his
father's long hair. The hard I had al
most written murderous face of Dirty
Peter softened and grew tender as he sat
with bis baby clasped te his breast. I
bade my host geed night and went te
sleep. I awoke in the small hours of the
morning, and saw Peter by the fire mend
ing the clothes of the little boys.
Next morning the storm had cleared
away. Bidding my host geed-by, I start

A lluptist Minister's Experience.
I am a Uaptist Minister, and before I even
thought et being u clergyman, 1 graduated in
medicine, but left a lucrative practice for my
present profession, 40 years age. I was for
many years a sufferer from quinsy : "Themas'
Kclectric Oil cured me." I was also troubled
with hoarseness, and Themas' Ecleetric Oil al
ways relieved me. Jly wife and child had
diphtheria, and "Themas' Ecleetric Oil cured
lhem,"aud it taken In time it will cure seven
out et ten. I am confident it is a cure for the
most obstinate cold or cough, and if anyone
will take a small teaspoon and half Hit it with
the Oil, and then place the end et the spoon in
one nostril and draw the Oil out of the spoon
into the head by sniffing as hard as they can,
until the Oil falls ever into the threat, and
practice that twice a week, I don't care hew
eifenslve their head may be, it will clean it
out and cure their catarrh. 1 or i!ealnes and
earache it has done wonders te my certain
knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed
patent medicine that I have ever felt like re
commending, and 1 am very anxious te tee it
In every place, ler I tell you that 1 would net
be without it in my house ler any considera
tion 1 am new sutlering witli :i pain like
i heiimatism In my right limb, and nothing re
lieves me like Themas' Ecleetric Oil.
