    THE AMERICAN
OR THE
WAH OF HOKOK.
( BY TOM JOSSON. )
"Yes, everybody if talking about the
immense Gold Fields at Cripple Creek,
and were I twenty yean younger, no
one could keep me from going there
and becoming part ot that busy, bust
ling mining camp," was the declara
tion which greeted my description of
that now famous d istrict. The speaker
was Joshua Smith, my uncle, and one
of the few men now living who joined
in the mad rush to California nearly
fifty years ago. More, he is one of the
hundreds and thousands who wcoed
and won the fickle goddess of fortune.
Before he went to the Golden Gate
people said he was visionary, but their
only reason for saying so was based on
his assertion that if a man had the
courage to go to California or to
invest in a fe w thousand shares of the
mining stock then being offered for
sale at what appeared to be a ridicul
ously low figure, they would be worth
thousands of dollars within a very few
years.
They even declared that you might
go back a dozen centuries to the first
families of Smiths and you would find
them a visionary and also inquisitive
family; jumping at conclusions that
would seem, to any rational person,
gross absurdities.
Most people thought my uncle Joshua
was a character that would require
some profound and hard study to de
duce anything worthy of note, while
others said that by constant association
with him you could observe things that
would mark him as a superior man.
He was a tall, angular fellow, with a
small round head, eyes and hair as
black as a raven's plumage, and a gait
that reminded you of your boyhood days
when you tried to appear at ease, and
graceful, with a stone bruise on each
heel
Certainly you will all vote his disa
greeable as well as homely after read'
ing so much but in that conclusion you
are rather premature. A better na-
tured, more wholesouled fellow than
Uncle Joshua could not be found in
Oakdale. There never was a children's
party that he did not receive the first
invitation to attend. A tea party was
never given without his name appear
ing on the list of intended guests. No
kind of amusement was ever put on foot
by the male part of the population un
less he was first consulted, and if he
thought it would be a success, it was
immediately put in motion.
It would not be out of place to add
that Uncle Joshua was well-to-do, and
was still single though he was past
thirty and had had many fair and
gifted maidens try to take his heart by
storm, but none of them seemed to
awaken anything akin to tender feel
ings, so one by one they left him to his
solitude.
His neighbors were all anxious to see
him marry all had several marriage'
able daughters which they were willing
he should pick from and settle down
on his farm ajoinlng town, and it was
claimed to be the best in the immediate
vrlitti-if n All wifriniif a a v nrl c nwnnn
tlon, tendered this piece of advice
hoping thereby to win the name of be
ing an excellent match-maker.
After he had withstood the assaults
of Deacon Lett; the pleadings of Squire
f Fontes: the arguments .of Professor
Todd; the entreaties of old maids and
the expostulations of married women,
in their vain attempts to turn this man
of stone apparently from the slow,
but sure current that was sweeping
him into the jaws of that hideous mon'
ster bachelorhood-he bethought him'
self of a way to rid him of this obnox
ious topic.
At that time nearly one-half our cltl
zens had the "western fever" and the
other half were crazy over the reports
that were cming in from California
of the unlimited quantity of gold that
was being taken from the ground,
washed from the sand along the rivers
and crushed out of the very rocks them
selves.
Uncle Joshua belonged to the last
half, and when he became thoroughly
aware that nothing but the balmy air
of California would satisfy him, he
acted on his first impulse.
It took but little over a week to set
tle up his business and place his farm
under the care of a bosom friend.
When that was all over he joined a
large company that was passing
through Oakdale for the Pacific slope,
and was soon moving westward.
The scenery alone was enough to en
chant the most rigid of men, and to
throw into raptures the most fickle of
womankind. On one side was bound
less plains, coursed by brooks and riv
1 ers, and dotted by lakes whose waters
i were as clear as crystal, and reflected
v every object in sight, while on the
other the rough, barren hills stood out
prominently against the azure sky, and
around them hung a 9moky, sleepy at
mosphere. Then 'came the dismal swamps and
dark pine forests, followed by the open,
scorching plains of Texas. It was here
t that all the glittering hopes were ban
ished; where the unreal dreams of
mountains of goll took unto themselves
wlngt and flew away, and the sad, stern
realities of frontier life intruded.
But they wore by no means faint
hearted. There was something beckon
ing them in front to proceed, and the
thought of the at home who would
laughed at the venture goading them
on, as each fond, gilded hope receded
from their heart.
Perseverance, though, will accom
plish anythiig, so afusr being about
three months on the road, they sud
denly came into what they deemed the
very heart of the gold region, and
there they drove their stakes.
Around them on every side were
lofty mountain peaks and deep canons,
which were covered with trees of nearly
every clime, some in full bloom, others
with their rich, luclous fruits hanging
from boughs that nearly broke under
their heavy load, while others, farther
up the mountains, were as bare as
Adam on his introduction into the
Garden of Eden.
In beautiful harmony with this.blrJs
flitted here and there and sang their
songs of praise to Him who sent acotber
day. Brooks, starting from the tops of
snow-capped mountains, danced and
bubbled as they leaped from ledge to
ledge in their rush to reach the rivu
lets that raced through the canons to
mingle their waters with the San Joa
quin. Is it any wonder they set to work
with reckless enthusiasm, when every
thing around them seemed to have
been created for man's exclusive enjoy
ment? The beautifying of those rugged
mountains, which in themselves were
as unique and soul-inspiring as any
piece of art, seemed the merest folly,
but the omnipotent ruler looked further
than the day of His creation, and was
pleased with the thought that in after
years thousands would go into ecstacies
over the beautiful harmony of His
masterpiece of scenery.
Even the seasons in this new Eden
seemed different to those in the native
states of the sturdy miners who were
busy looking for a paying claim, and as
summer advanced and finally gave way
to autumn, and as but little gold was
the reward of a great deal of labor, the
whole camp, with one exception, con
cluded to move.
Uncle Joshua was the single excep
tion, and whenever the removal was
mentioned he invariably gave the same
answer, "I shall remain. This is my
paradise and will be my home. Some
one will be along one of these dtys who
will be only too glad to share it with
me," and with that he would walk
away.
But the camp was soon broken up,
and all, save Uncle Joshua, headed
their pack mules for the scene of a late
discovery, and were soon staking off
claims, which proved to beaspjor as
those left In the mountains miles below.
CHAPTER II.
Days and weeks sped by with great
swiftness at the little mining camp with
its single inhabitant, and it was fully
two months after the departure of the
miners before uncle had anything that
had ever seen civilization set foot on
his little republic.
It was late one October evening while
the rain was falling in perfect sheets,
and he was sitting in his cabin, that a
low, whining cry, came from outside,
quickly followed by a low rap at the
door. He started hurriedly from his
seat, grasped his rifle and crossed the
room, demanding to know who was
there. No answer came, and as he was as
brave as he was good-natured, threw
the door wide open and stepped out,
and as he did so his foot rubbed against
something.
Stooping down and extending his
hand he found a visitor lying near the
house, and as he was curious to know
just what Lad driven him there he half
carried and half dragged him into the
house, where the rays of a tallow dip
disclosed the fact that the stranger was
a large mastiff with one leg broken,
and around his neck was a common lin
en handkerchief to which dangled a
wet, dirty note.
"Oh, what is this?" excitedly cried
Uncle Joshua.
Bending low over the note he was
able, after some time to make out:
"In the name of God, come to us. We
are on the large boulder at the mouth
of the Joan canon, the water is nearly
to our feet."
"They cannot be saved I It would be
Impossible to get a boat near them,
even if I had such a thing, and that is
the only way. No, I have it."
It was hardly a minute after he read
the note before he was uncoiling a long
lariat, and, calling his large dog, was
on his way to the Joan canon a name
given it by them when they settled
in the neighborhood, because the oldest
one of the party said it reminded him
of a dangerous pass he once saw in old
Mexico. The gulch was fully half a mile
away.

What C. A. Tetter Says.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1SU5. The
Howard Medicine Company. Gentle
men: I desire to say to all wbo feel the
strength of their mauhjod slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
lowest ebb, whose mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you fojl
dyspeptic, and lose your Belf-respect,
that your blood is out of order, and all
you need is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your Bystem.
It will act almost instantly upon the
blood; you will feel the renewed life
and vigor coursing through your sys
tem; you will feel the old-time grip in
your hands; your mind will be as active
as ever; your friends will observe the
flag of health flying in your face, and
you will feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package of your Blood
Powder, and I feel as strong and active
as ever. I weigh 15 pounds more than
ever in my life. The change Is so
marked that it is the subject of com
ment when meeting my friends. I
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
blood-purifier on earth.

While the declaration of Mr. Man

it caused a flutter of excitement when
it was known the manager of Mr.

supporters of Mr. Reed said the decla

half of the votes that would have been

been said, ana several ot Heed s sup

Mr. Manley ought to be followed by
a statement from Reed that his name

Dole government Is very much ex

It is stated bv the Honolulu Star
that the republic declines to accept
the Itritish foreign olllca's view of the
cose, refuses to grant pardon or re
move the ban, and adds that if Colonel
Ashford I landed under Itritish or
other auspices or protection until
there has been an extended and com

will be at least protested, and there is
a liklihood of Hawaii calling upou
