RED MOUNTAIN BAR.
MULFORB'S LIFK ON THE
I lived at Ited Mountain Bar during -
ing its period of decay. I saw its
decay. I may say that ns a mining
camp I witnessed its fall. I lived
there when the few "boys" loft used
daily , after the close ot an unsuc
cessful river soasMi , ta sit in a ror on
a log by the river'e edge , and thoro.
surveying their broken dam , would
chant cusaos on their luck. The lar
store was then still in existence.
Thomson was ita proprietor. The
stock , on hand had dwindled down to
whisky. The bar nnd ono filled
bottle alone survived. On rainy
nights , when the few minors loft
would gatnor about the stove , Thomp
son would take down his fiddle , nnd
fiddle and sing "What can't bo
cured must bo endured , " or , ' 'The
Lord into his garden came ; the spices
smelt about the same" a quotation
of unknown authorship. Of neigh *
bora , living in their cabins strung
along the banks for half n milo above
the store , there was Keen Faun , _ an
ngod-morcantilo and mining China
man , with a colony about him of leaser
and facially indistinguishable country
men of varying numbers. Second ,
"Old Harry , . " an aged negro a skilled
[ lorfonnor on the bugle nnd a singer ,
who offered at times to favor us with
what ho termed a "little ditto. " Ho
was the Ethiopio king of a knot of
Kanakas gathered about him. Third ,
"Bloody Bill , " so called from his fro-
quontusoof the sanguinary adjective
and , as may bo guessed , an English
man. Fourth , an old Scotchman ,
ono of the Bar's oldest inhabitants ,
who would oomo to the store with the
ittlo bit of gold dust , gathered after
a hard day's "crovicing , ' * complaining
: ! mt "gold was getting as scarce as
.ho grace of Gnd in the Hoolands of
Scotland " Fifth , McFarlano , a
white-boarded old follow , another
nonccr , who after a yearly venture
nto some strange and distant locality
.o "change his luck , " waa certain
tvontually to drift back again to the
Bar , which ho regarded as homo.
Down the river , nestled high up in a
stoop and picturesque gulch , stood the
mckoyo-omboworod cabin of old
Jonathan Brown , the ditch tender , a
great roaderof weekly "story papers , "
who lived tike a'boy in the literature
of The Western Frontier Penny
Awful , and who , coming to the store
and perching himself on the counter ,
would sometimes break out in re
marks about how "Them thar Indians
; ot the bettor of "em at last , " to the
istonishmont of the "boys , " who im
agined at first that ho referred to In
dians in the locality , suggesting possi-
> ilities of a repetition of the great
Oak Flat uprising of 1880.
AN TJNrBOFITABLK INDUSTRY.
At the "top of the hill , " a mile and
a half away , stood the "Yankee
lanch , " kept by a bustling , uunoasy
md rather uncomfortable man from
D Massachusetts , aided by his good-
natured , easy-going son-in-law. Ono
ainy winter's aoy the "boys" congre-
; atod about Thompson's store became
leizcd with a whim tor the manufac-
uro of little pasteboard men turning
grindstones , which , fastened to the
tovo , wore impelled to action by the 1
seconding current of hot air. So they
mokod their pipes , and wrought all
.uy , until the area of stovepipe bo-
iamo thickly covered with little paato-
> oard men busily turning pasteboard
; rindstones. Then , George M. G. ,
he son-in-law of the Yankee Ranch ,
came down'tho' hill to borrow an ax.
Steorgo was of that temperament and
nclination to bo of all things charmed
rith a warm stove on a cold , rainy
ay , a knot of good follows about it , a
requont pipe of tobacco , maybe an
ccasional punch and the picas-
ig manufacture of hot-air-
riven little pasteboard men
urning pasteboard grindstones.
lo forgot his ax sat down and began
nth the rest the manufacture of pasta-
ward men and grindstones. And ho I
cept on till a late hour of the night ,
nd staid at the bar all nieht and all
10 next day and that next night , un-
1 the stovepipe was covered to its
cry top with little men , all working
way tor dear lito turning grindstones ;
nd on the second day of his stay the
lasporatod father-in-law suddenly
ppeared and delivered himself in im-
mt'diit invective with regard to such
onduct on the part of a son-in-law
out forty hours' previously to borrow
n ax. Such was the circle oft gath-
red on the long , rainy winter's eve
bout the Thompson store stove. All
moked. Keen Fann frequently drop-
od in. Ho stood respectfully , as a
irathon should in such a Christian as- 11
uinhliigo , on its outer edge , or hum- 11n
ly appropriated snmo unoccupied keg , w
nd lor the ret t yrinnod. From his SI
ttlo piggy eyes to his double chin SIci
Coon's face was a permanently settled ciyo
rin. yor
A riONKKU CHINAMAN , r
Keen F.uin hud learnuit aboil * a
twenty words of English and would
ram no more. In liio estimation , n
tvyniyAwards , variously used ,
tor n port of grammatical kuloiilu-
V
pi. f.ttliiun , seemed adequate to VHI
sonvoy evoiything required Ono of HIUI
presumed English expressions UItl
uijg puzzled the boys. As-li , ' the It
irico of articles at the store liu would
laj ; "Too muchco polyfoot , " At
ast the riddle was correctly guessed.
ilo meant : "Too much profit. " in
For prolrctian Keen Fann built his
loueo oppomlo the storo. The Moxi0
ians were then attacking and robbing in
solatcd bands of Chinamen. At ono C
ar a few miles below , then deserted 0
the whites , the Chinese had inw
ilosod their camp with a high stockade bl
logs. Yet ono night they wore atin
acked. The Mexicans besieged their w
ortrcss for hours , popperinc ? them af
rom the hillside with revolvers , and ae
last they broke through the Mon- lit
lolian works and bore off all their
lust and a dozen or moro revolvers , b :
Ceon Faun's castle was in dimensions pi
tot moro than 12x15 foot , and in in
icight two stories. Within it
ras partitioned oft" into rooms not in
nuch larger than dry goods boxes. tl :
Fhe hallways wore just wide enough HIh
squeeze through , and very dark , h (
was intensely labyrinthian , and Hw
voen was always making it more by w
levising new additions. No white Ifai (
nan ever did know exactly whore the ai
itructuro began or ended. Keen was st
merchant , dealing principally in gin , If
Uh and opium. His store was in Ifhi
volved in this curious dwelling , all of tils
own construction. In the store
ras a counter. Behind it there was
just room for Keen to sit down , and
in front there was just room enough
ftr the customer to turn around.
When -Keen was the merchant ho
looked imposing in an immense pair of
Chinese spectacles. When ho shook
his rocker in the bank ho took oft"
thcso spectacles. Ho WAA a largo con
sumer of his own gin. I once asked
him the amount of his weekly allow
ance. "Mo tink8Atd he , "onoqnl-
Ion , hap. " From the upper story of
the castle protruded a Hugo spear
head. It wag nindo by the local
blacksmith , and intended as n inonaco
to the Mexican bandits. As they
grow bolder nnd moro threatening ,
Keen sent down to San Francisco and
purchased a lot of old pawn-shop re-
volvoM. Thcso being received , military
preparation and drill wont on for SOT-
oral weeks by Keen and his forces.
Uo practiced at target-shooting ,
aimed at the mark with both eyes
shut , and for those in its immediate
vicinity with a most ominous and
threatening waver of the arm holding
the weapon. It was prophesied that
Keen would kill somebody with that
pistol. None over expected that he
would kill the proper poron. Yet ho
did. One night an alarm was uiven.
Keen's castle was attacked , The
'boys , " hearing the disturbance ,
grabbed their rides and pistols , and
sallied from the store. The robbers ,
finding themselves in a hornet's neat ,
ran. By the uncertain light of a
waning moon the Bar was soon cov
ered with Chinamen gabbling aid
gesticulating. Over the river tno
, non were swimming. Kcou , from
the bank , pointed his revolver at one ,
shut his eyes and fired. Ono of the
nen crawled out of the water and
.umbled in ahoapamong the bowlders.
The "boys" crossed , and found there
a strange white'man , with Keon's
ullet through his backbone.
A PKHILOUS TRIP.
I experienced about the narrowest
escape of my life in a boat during a
freshet on the Tuolunino crossing I
counted myself a good river boatman ,
and had just ferried ever a Swell's
Bar miner. Ho had come to pur
chase a gallon of the native juice of
the grape , which was then grown ,
and sold at Bed Mountain
Erussod
ar. When ho crossed with mo ho
was loaded with it. Some of it wa
outside of him in a demijohn and s mn
if it was insido. Indeed it was iimuo ,
of us both. I sot him across all right.
On returning , by taking advantage of
a certain eddy , ono could bo rushed
up stream counter to the current
coining down for a quarter of a mile ,
and at a very rapid rato. It was very
exciting thus to bo carried in an op-
of the great billowy swell coming
down. It was sort of sliding down
hill without the trouble of drawing
one's sled up again. So I wont up
and down the stream. The Red
Mountain wine meantime was work-
g
ing. Night came on , a glorious moon
arose oyer the mountain tops ; and I
kept sliding up and down , the Tuo-
luiuno. I became moro daring and
careless. So that suddenly in the
very fury of the mid-stream billows I
slipped oil' the stern shoots at a sud
den dip of the boat and fell into the
river. I was heavily clad in flannels
and mining boots. Of my stay under
water I recollect only the thought ,
'You're in for it this time. This is
no common baptism. " The next I
know I was clinging to a rock half a
mile below the scene of the submer
gence. I had been swept under water
through the Willow Bar , the walls of
whose rocky channel , chiseled by tke
current of centuries , wore narrower at
