Just Wonderin’ I wonder if the lumbermen Receive their meed of praise, As pageantry depicts for us The scenes of other days. On January twenty fourth, California began her three year centennial with a reenactment of the discovery of gold in Coloma. The little town, in its beautiful setting among the hills, awoke for a time from its dreaming and played host to a multitude of happy and interested visitors. John Sutter seemed to live again and if at some points historic events were not exactly authentic, they were at least entertaining and those who witnessed them, may now turn to their histories of California for exact details and so be led to follow through and keep in touch with all the important events of the centennial years. Coloma is at peace. again; the green hills look down upon the quiet little-town, the golden river flows quietly on its way to the sea. Of old it “ran with feet of silver over its sands of ‘gold’, now only the gleam of particles of mica are left to delude the uninitiated-into the belief that they are seeing what James Marshall saw in that colorful long, long ago, when the cry of gold was first heard around the world. Yes, the days of forty nine will seem to live again in these western hills and towns of the mother lode, but how many of us will recall that, before the miners came to rob the good earth of its gold, the lumbermen were here building their little saw mills and preparing the way for all the hectic years that followed? First, they built a little saw mill, near a wimpling mountain stream As the first essential adjunct to an Empire building dream; Then the sugar pines and cedars from the stand upon the hill, Were laid low and hauled as fodder to the noisy little mill. Thus the forests paid their tributes to the cities far away, Marysville and Sacramento, San Francisco by the bay; . And the busy little saw mill whizzed and whirred long days through, While the lumber jacks and millmen found unceasing tasks to do. Soon as in far famed Coloma, some one found a trace of gold, told; Then arose as though by magic, group of sturdy, rough hewn huts, butts. to day, As the olden trails you follow asking questions by the For a noisy little saw mill by a wimpling mountain stream Was the first essential adjunct to a great state's Golden Dream. *s back to these magic hills? buck that “got away.”’ —Adeline Merriam Conner .

Once again little saw mills—many of them not SO small, are springing up along the mother lode, again the forests of cedar, fir and pine are paying tribute to the cities we love, again mining men gather together and discuss the feasibility of reopening the old diggings and of still further exploring the channels of dead rivers—can it be that the romance of gold is coming ; Uncle Silas says: “I wonder why we never hear a bold, adventurous hunter boasting of the big antlered NUGGET Nevada County RECIPES 3 Pounds veal riblets ¥% Cup lard or drippings Salt to season Pepper to season .
