Settled during the roaring fifties by adventurous gold miners who overflowed from the Sierra country, it was for many years without roads for sev‘eral hundred miles. A paradise for game and fish, it was originally held by Indians of various Klamath tribes. They were friendly with the incoming whites, and intermarried readily, as for the most part the squaws were intelligent and attractive in early youth, before the hard work which was their daily lot broke them down. be As a result, the entire*country was gradually preempted by a mixed generation of Indian and white, who were, in the days whenel knew them, intelligent and skilled miners, good mechanics, and hard workers for some seven or eight months of the year, during the time when hydraulic mining was in full blast with plenty of water. For about four months of the year, when the mines were shut down, life was ideally simple. Fishing, hunting and pocket-trailing—for the entire country appeared to be enriched with gold bearing stringers—were the occupations to which every man, woman and child turned their hand. During the middle of the year, when the salmon were running up the great rivers, the winter's supply of smoked fish was laid by. Also, there were innumerable bars of fertile soil which could be depended on for crops of all summer vegetables, potatoes, apples and other acceptable fruits, and even walnuts and figs. A man needed little here to exist. In the spring the rivers were teeming with fish, in the summer each little plot of ground produced its supply of eatables, and all through the year there were ample supplies of deer and small game, The usual beans and bacon and flour and sugar were obtainable at the store at Forks of Salmon, and such whiskey and other staples as were neded. Any man who lived in the country and worked in the hydraulic mines in the winter, was a good credit risk for whatever clothing and food his family might need. Medical care was solved by Dr. Kyselka, at Sawyer’s Bar. A man with a family was put on his list for two dollars a month—a single man for one dollar. And the good doctor held himself in readiness to ride fifty or one hundred miles if emergency arose, to care for such emergencies were limited. A woman in childbirth was tended to by her own; and ordinary illnesses were prescribed for over the phone at the Forks. Every family of any substance had its own cattle running in the hills and its pigs and chickens in wellkept fences. In short, it came as near to being a selfsustaining democratic community as any New England comniunity was in colonial days. In fact, many of its traditions were a direct inheritance from New England, whence came the forefathers of these sturdy sons of the river. “ (Please turn to page 8) his people whenever they needed him.
