The Chinese shrimpers, or shrimp, jlancers,.as they are called, constitute s colony by themselves, and in the main represent as low a type of aliens as can be found oy American shores, One might sail around the ‘harbor of as .their camps are concealed:in certain: out-of-the-way nooks. for reasons best: <nown to themselves, At one point. / where the hills dip down to the sea a settlement was found. Here were a number of shanties of the poorest description, and leading out from the beach several small wharves to which’ were anchored nondescript fishing boats. Leading up from the shanties were two squares of parallelograms, . thout 90 by 300 feet, which were perfeetly distinct from the rest of the aoil, and a delicate pink color. On_ this strange flooring were a score of China“men, gravely hopping about in what’ “was apparently a dance. They held their arms close to their sides;-hopping‘Now._on one foot, again leapingiinto the air; moving forward in a direct line; some following the sides, others crossing; in all presenting to the observers. -aludierous appearance. Yet the contrastof the blue blouses of the dancers -and the delicate pink of the floor was not inartistic. : Coming out of the bush‘and walking down the hill, the ground was found:to be covered with pink shrimps. Ther. es were hundreds of them drying. in the. sun, while with them were many young fishes, : The dancers were: stamping: onthe ‘shrimps to crush the shells. They did not resent the. visit in words, but, their, looks suggested that the visitors were not welcome. The shanties were squalid in the extreme, containing rude bunks about whieh were hung the oilskins of the fishermen, from which a peculiar odor rose and mingled with that of stale opium and old fish. In the corner of one of the shanties wasa pagan temple, with some attempt at the splendors one sees in San Francisco. An odor of punk filled the air, and a Chinaman was rearranging the sandal sticks, while another progtrated himself before the shrine. This was the abode of the fisherman’s .god, and before they went out to break ‘the American law the, shrimpers in-. voked this god.to bring them good luck: . In taking shrimps the fishermen use. various nets—sturgeon. trawls, tyke nets, beg nets and others of fine mesh, The bag net ie. about 40 feet long—a huge cone with an opening 20 feet wide, grading down. to a point. Near. the ‘mouth is a two-ineh mesh; following this for ten or twelve. feet it is reduced to one inch, while the bag hasa mesh of but one-quarter to half an inch. These trape are.set between poles on the flats shrimp and fieh that.appears. The nets are.set mainly at night, often, being. hauled between midnight and sunriee, The shrimps are brought in in large numbers, rolled in baskets and the folé lowing morning placed in vats of boiling water. In ten minutes they haye. assumed the delicate shrimp color. ‘They are thentaken out and placed on the level cleared spots and spread with brooms, -Here they bake or dry for five or six days, after which the men with the, wooden shoes begin what has been referred to us the shrimp dance. . The shoes are so heavy that the wearers cannot move with much agility, so 4 eurious shuffle and jumping up and down is the result—a dance which, if seen, might find place on the melodramstic: stage. wee The object of the-shrimp dance, as has been described, is to pulverize the . crusteceans; and pestles and hammers are also used to loosen the meat. : here they. goto the hasketéhitleede, whe, by placing the crushed sbrimps in baskets, a quart at a time, dislodge them from the shells, Some useia machine. which winnows out the shelle;the meat and the shells: being shipped +o China; the shells are usediasa.fertilizer about . tea plants.

BROWN & CO, he “fought Indians and. hunted yut' west” during the overland of the early -’60s,° have shoulders with satisfac@ mention-of Whisky Gap for nearly 40, years. This is the place, according: to their belief, where real “fire water” gushed up. out of the rocks in @ beautiful mountain spring to quench the thirst of a whole company of Uncle Sam's trained Indian fighters. “It was hothing but pure spring water,” they say. “A veritable fountain of youth,” ‘Whisky Gap received its name in 1862, uring the, building of the overland \atage routa from Denver to Salt Lake City arid the Pacific coast. At happened in this way: The people of Denver had long been working to secure the regular overland stage route, thea connecting the east and west. In 1862 “Ben” Holliday, a veteran stage man, became the proprietor of the great overland.line, and he agreed upon a rente.running through Denver to the west. He decided to discontinue that part of the road. running up the North Platte and the Sweetwater rivers, and across South Pass, Wyo. The many Indian difficalties experienced on this route; was the inducemént to abandon it. The new trail led by way of Julesburg, Col,, to Denver, and on over the \established::'wagon road to Fort Lupton and ‘north ‘across the Laramie plains, then due west. through. Bridgewater Pass, Wyo., joining the old trail leading gcross the country to the Pacifi it, , The change was-made during the s er of 1862. All the rolling stock, horses and other property of the company were gathered at the station just above Devil’s Gate, in central ‘Wyoming: Company A of the Eleventh Ohio cavalry, with Maj. O’Farrell in command, was the. detailed escort at ~ During, the first day the long train of coaches, wagons, horses and mules the :property had been gathered. The route chosen waa directly south from the Sweetwater. river. The canip selected Md £ @ gap in the mauntains, where’ ‘was‘a fine spring and plenty. of wood for cooking purposes. Shortly after going into camp the major disreavered that quite.a number of his soldierg were intoxicated, and he at once sent for Lient. W. H. Brown, who was officer of the day, and informed him of the condition, of many of the men, and gave it as his opinion that some one was selling whisky in the camp. The command was doing escort duty not only for stage, stock and stores, but also for a numbér of emigrants who had availed theniselves of the opportunity for safe conduct over the plains. Lieut. Brown received orders to search all wagons, and if he shoyld discover whisky to destroy it. Taking a corpora] and three or four men, he commenced the,search for the contraband article, and found at least a barrel of whisky in an emigrant wagon. The officer ordered.his men to roll the barrel out of the. wagon, knock in the head and empty the contents on the ground, This was done, but-it chanced that the ‘spot where the whisky was emptied was just above the spring, and the fiery liquid, went. pouring down into the wab : i and cover the bottom, catching every ter supply of the camp. The soldiers saw what was going on and they rushed forward with cups, canteens, buckets ‘and camp kettles to save what they could of the coveted “spirits.” Many a man stopped over the spring and drank almost without breathing until he was drunk. A half hour later the intoxicant was showing its effect pretty generally around the camp, and soon but few sober men could be found. One soldier who had succceeded in getting a full canteen from the spring paid his respects to Maj, O'Farrell at the headquerters tent, assuring his commanding officer, with maudlin mein and mony. # “hie, that that: was the finest spring he had. ever seen and the very best water he had ever tasted, . Maj. O'Farrell was apprehending an attack from the Indians that night, and the condition of his men fairly dishearténed him. He saw at a glance that even @ small band of savages could make @ successful raid on his camp; consequently the sober and less intoxicated men were kept on the alert that night. Fortunately no Indians put in an appearance, and by morning the debauched: men had slept off their intoxication. ; Thus the gap im thé mountains where. the camp was received the name of Whisky Gap. For many years it was the-favorite eamping place for the more the ammount of the yearly shipment was .

Here were a number of shanties of the poorest description, and leading out from the beach several small wharves to which’ were anchored nondescript fishing boats. Leading up from the shanties were two squares of parallelograms, . thout 90 by 300 feet, which were perfeetly distinct from the rest of the aoil, and a delicate pink color. On_ this strange flooring were a score of China“men, gravely hopping about in what’ “was apparently a dance. They held their arms close to their sides;-hopping‘Now._on one foot, again leapingiinto the air; moving forward in a direct line; some following the sides, others crossing; in all presenting to the observers. -aludierous appearance. Yet the contrastof the blue blouses of the dancers -and the delicate pink of the floor was not inartistic. : Coming out of the bush‘and walking down the hill, the ground was found:to be covered with pink shrimps.. Ther. es were hundreds of them drying. in the. sun, while with them were many young fishes,

: The dancers were: stamping: onthe ‘shrimps to crush the shells. They did not resent the. visit in words, but, their, looks suggested that the visitors were not welcome. The shanties were squalid in the extreme, containing rude bunks about whieh were hung the oilskins of the fishermen, from which a peculiar odor rose and mingled with that of stale opium and old fish. In the corner of one of the shanties wasa pagan temple, with some attempt at the splendors one sees in San Francisco. An odor of punk filled the air, and a Chinaman was rearranging the sandal sticks, while another progtrated himself before the shrine. This was the abode of the fisherman’s .god, and before they went out to break ‘the American law the, shrimpers in-. voked this god.to bring them good luck: . In taking shrimps the fishermen use. various nets—sturgeon. trawls, tyke nets, beg nets and others of fine mesh, The bag net ie. about 40 feet long—a huge cone with an opening 20 feet wide, grading down. to a point. Near. the ‘mouth is a two-ineh mesh; following this for ten or twelve. feet it is reduced to one inch, while the bag hasa mesh of but one-quarter to half an inch. These trape are.set between poles on the flats shrimp and fieh that.appears. The nets are.set mainly at night, often, being. hauled between midnight and sunriee, The shrimps are brought in in large numbers, rolled in baskets and the folé lowing morning placed in vats of boiling water. In ten minutes they haye. assumed the delicate shrimp color. ‘They are thentaken out and placed on the level cleared spots and spread with brooms, -Here they bake or dry for five or six days, after which the men with the, wooden shoes begin what has been referred to us the shrimp dance. . The shoes are so heavy that the wearers cannot move with much agility, so 4 eurious shuffle and jumping up and down is the result—a dance which, if seen, might find place on the melodramstic: stage. wee The object of the-shrimp dance, as has been described, is to pulverize the . crusteceans; and pestles and hammers are also used to loosen the meat.. : here they. goto the hasketéhitleede, whe, by placing the crushed sbrimps in baskets, a quart at a time, dislodge them from the shells, Some useia machine. which winnows out the shelle;the meat and the shells: being shipped +o China; the shells are usediasa.fertilizer about . tea plants.

BROWN & CO, he “fought Indians and. hunted yut' west” during the overland of the early -’60s,° have shoulders with satisfac@ mention-of Whisky Gap for nearly 40, years. This is the place, according: to their belief, where real “fire water” gushed up. out of the rocks in @ beautiful mountain spring to quench the thirst of a whole company of Uncle Sam's trained Indian fighters. “It was hothing but pure spring water,” they say. “A veritable fountain of youth,” ‘Whisky Gap received its name in 1862, uring the, building of the overland \atage routa from Denver to Salt Lake City arid the Pacific coast. At happened in this way: The people of Denver had long been working to secure the regular overland stage route, thea connecting the east and west. In 1862 “Ben” Holliday, a veteran stage man, became the proprietor of the great overland.line, and he agreed upon a rente.running through Denver to the west. He decided to discontinue that part of the road. running up the North Platte and the Sweetwater rivers, and across South Pass, Wyo. The many Indian difficalties experienced on this route; was the inducemént to abandon it. The new trail led by way of Julesburg, Col,, to Denver, and on over the \established::'wagon road to Fort Lupton and ‘north ‘across the Laramie plains, then due west. through. Bridgewater Pass, Wyo., joining the old trail leading gcross the country to the Pacifi it, , The change was-made during the s er of 1862. All the rolling stock, horses and other property of the company were gathered at the station just above Devil’s Gate, in central ‘Wyoming: Company A of the Eleventh Ohio cavalry, with Maj. O’Farrell in command, was the. detailed escort at ~ During, the first day the long train of coaches, wagons, horses and mules the :property had been gathered. The route chosen waa directly south from the Sweetwater. river.. The canip selected Md £ @ gap in the mauntains, where’ ‘was‘a fine spring and plenty. of wood for cooking purposes. Shortly after going into camp the major disreavered that quite.a number of his soldierg were intoxicated, and he at once sent for Lient. W. H. Brown, who was officer of the day, and informed him of the condition, of many of the men, and gave it as his opinion that some one was selling whisky in the camp. The command was doing escort duty not only for stage, stock and stores, but also for a numbér of emigrants who had availed theniselves of the opportunity for safe conduct over the plains. Lieut. Brown received orders to search all wagons, and if he shoyld discover whisky to destroy it. Taking a corpora] and three or four men, he commenced the,search for the contraband article, and found at least a barrel of whisky in an emigrant wagon. The officer ordered.his men to roll the barrel out of the. wagon, knock in the head and empty the contents on the ground, This was done, but-it chanced that the ‘spot where the whisky was emptied was just above the spring, and the fiery liquid, went. pouring down into the wab : i and cover the bottom, catching every ter supply of the camp. The soldiers saw what was going on and they rushed forward with cups, canteens, buckets ‘and camp kettles to save what they could of the coveted “spirits.” Many a man stopped over the spring and drank almost without breathing until he was drunk. A half hour later the intoxicant was showing its effect pretty generally around the camp, and soon but few sober men could be found. One soldier who had succceeded in getting a full canteen from the spring paid his respects to Maj, O'Farrell at the headquerters tent, assuring his commanding officer, with maudlin mein and mony. # “hie, that that: was the finest spring he had. ever seen and the very best water he had ever tasted, . Maj. O'Farrell was apprehending an attack from the Indians that night, and the condition of his men fairly dishearténed him. He saw at a glance that even @ small band of savages could make @ successful raid on his camp; consequently the sober and less intoxicated men were kept on the alert that night. Fortunately no Indians put in an appearance, and by morning the debauched: men had slept off their intoxication. ; Thus the gap im thé mountains where. the camp was received the name of Whisky Gap.
