examining station,’’ Genera] Clark
has impressed upon all his staff,
“isthe psychological moment to
point out to the prospective soldier that, if inducted, he will become a member of the mightiest
peacetime army in the history of
his. country — dedicated. to the
preservation of peace!
“In one short step he will cross
the threshold of civilian life into
the ‘simple, ‘hard and active life
of a soldier. He will be treated
with courtesy «and dignity, but
will not be coddled. He will have
opportunity to learn that the
basic tenets of success and reward
in army life are. fundamentally
similar to those that earn promotion and better returns in civilian
life.
‘“‘Loyalty and co-operation with
his fellow soldiers and instructors
will win him rewards.”
As the first induction
drew near, General Clark reiterated that “enactment. of Selective
Service legislation in no way lessens the intensity of the voluntary
enlistment campaign in the Sixth
Army area.’ Inductee quotas will
be based on the number of men
needed to augment those enlisted
on a volunteer basis, to fill the
requirements of the authorized
expansion of the-armed forces.
The examining stations’ to
which registrants will report for
pre-induction processing are located at Army and Air Force
Main Recruiting stations in the
following cities:
CALIFORNIA:
Sacramento, .Fresno,
bara, San Bernardino,
géles, and San Diego.

every Sunday for music. Three good meal a day. Go
see pictures twice a week. [‘had a good time. Maybe
I go again some day.”’
But Happy Jack couldn’t take it. Our tent lay
on the bar some five hundred feet below the ditch
line. Occasional breaks in the ditch would bring down
a slide of rock. This worried Jack immensely.
“Some night when sleepum everybody, that
water go WHOOSH-<and take us all off in Salmon
River. I no like. Goodbye. You give me money tomorrow. . go.”’ And he did, to our amusement and
also to our regret, because he was very entertaining.
We did not stop to clean up our riffles till about
two months had passed, as we did not want to lose
water time. But when we did do so, results were very
disappointing.
Our bedrock cut and string of sluice boxes was
only about a hundred feet long, Our limited water
made it necessary for us to impound in front of our
boxes and then sluice the gravel through with a rush,
instead of having a regular flow. So when the first
cleanup only yielded about two hundred dollars for
two month’s work, I. went*out on the dump and
panned the gravel which had been washed through the
boxes. To my amazement, it panned even better than
the original gravel in the bank. We had been washing
the gold through our boxes and over our riffles at
.a terrific rate.
For the rest of the season we tried to correct
this error, but when our water gave out entirely, and
we had our final cleanup, we had only about five
hundred dollars more for all our work. The total cleanup for four men, working every day for four months,
was about seven hundred dollars. And out of this
came powder for blasting boulders, tools, lumber, pipe,
food, and all expenses. We found ourselves in debt
to the Igeal store for several hundred dollars, and all
of our original capital investment was up the spout.
Tip and . went to work on the county trails to
pay up our debts, and worked for most-of the summer, but we did have a little time in the fall to go up
and do some work on our. quartz prospect.
Originally named the “Bonny Jean’’ after a college romance of Tip’s, we had changed the name of
this property to the “Johnny Bean,’” because of the
staple article of our diet while working.
A day or two before going up on the Nordheimer,
we had ordered a couple of mule loads of supplies
from the store, and taken a shortcut up the creek with
the idea of getting to our camp the same evening that
our supplies were supposed to get there. We had a
thirty calibre rifle with us, but had used most of our
shells during the day. When_we arrived at the camp,
we found that the. pack train had not. A change in
plans had held the order over for a day.
There was nothing in the cabin to eat except a
can of stale lard left over from the year before and
a small cruet of salt: But we had one shell left for our
gun. So I decided to go out and look for a grouse. It
was late afternoon, and we could hear them drumming.
Tip stayed in camp to cut some fir boughs for beds,
and it was up to me to get something with that one
shell, or we would go hungry for another twenty-four
hours.
A hundred yards out of camp . jumped a big
male grouse into a fir tree. As was the habit of his
kind, he kept the trunk of the tree between him and
myself, just sticking an inquiring head out to look
ot. Me; .
I hesitated a long time before . fired that shot. .
aimed again and again, and the mark seemed very
small. But the light was failing withe setting sun, so
finally I pulled the trigger with a deep bead on his
head. To my astonishment, he_.came flopping down
out of the tree at my feet. I had cut-his head clean off
with a thirty-thirty bullet. Needless to say, I was a
proud boy when . got back to camp. And so we did
not have to go supperless to bed that night. Next day
the packs arrived, and all was well.
That winter I got a job as a humble sluice tender
at one of the local mines, and commenced to learn
the trade. By spring . had become a piper and finally
foreman of the mine—and . knew what it was all about.
