cents per day to feed a Chinaman. Chinamen fourth baked hogs, bowls of rice, chopsticks, jugs of China gin, dragons, and they would roll the black pills in a try of nut oil flame, and suck a dream smoke through a hollow bamboo stem. Visit every hovel in camps, make lots of noise to drive the devil away. Ah Sams Happy. The Chinamen creed in bondage stuck with them. Paying debts and contracts, their word was good as gold, stealing chickens, robbing sluice boxes, was their failure. Not paying bills was considered their heads to be chopped off. The white men would shoot at their cabins and tents, burn them and shoot at their heels, as they departed on the run. Sheriff would say, "Dead Chinamen bury your own dead.* Chinamen first came from Canton, China. Americanism based wholly on seifishness. In 1860, 34,000 Chinamen in California, so it got to a point of saying, "Chinamen must go." Notorious Negro, George Washington, in 1867, attempted to rob some Chinamen, but he was set upon and terribly beaten. The Chinks then tied Washington's hands and feet and slipped a bamboo pole through them, like a dead pig. The ends of the pole placed on two huskies' shoulders, and carried him a distance of two miles to Rough and Ready, in a single line, jabbing all the way, wanting to deliver him to the law. Going was hard, rocks and brush. Upon changing the crew, robber was dropped none too carefully upon rocks. This Chinese procession was armed with guns, revolvers, knives and clubs. However, a lost cause: Upon dumping the robber to the law, it was found Civil Rights no Chinese shall be permitted to give evidence in favor or against any white man. The effect of this order was hard on the Chinamen from then and thereon. First shipment of Chinese came from Sandwich Islands, Hawaii, now named. Lots of times the Chinks traveled by night, as many as one hundred ina party. November 15th, 1866, a lone Chinaman was plodding along the road, a short distance below Pleasant Valley, when Frederick, the Highway man held him up, vy displaying a revolver and bowie knife, and took eight dollars away from the Chink. The victim went to Lyons' Ranch, where a number of Chinamen were. He related his misadventure to his brother celestials. Whereupon, they got their pig-tails together, to plan a squaring of accounts. with Frederick, who had given the Chinks a bad time. Their plan worked out, and they shot Frederick belly, belly dead. Sluice box stealing. A reward of $20.00 given for any Chinamen caught stealing gold from a sluice box. A big burly man of North Sen Juan, when broke, would get some innocent Chinamen and throw him in a sluice box, and collect the $20.00 reward. Chinamen came from Timbuctoo in a covered wagon to rob the Empire mine sluice boxes of gold. J.B.Moulton heard them and saw them taking out gold nuggets. He shot at them with his muzzler loader, and fired the only two buck shots; went for more armunition, and on returning found blood and candles stuck in tin cens for a light. Lum Yum, a Chinaman, caught by Tom Hall, stealing gold from sluice boxes, and was shot. He was found wearing steel plate jacket and five China jackets; had a gun and knife on him. J.EB., an uncle, running Google 98 a French Corral store, who ran an opium den, felt bad. In Grass Valley and Rich Bar, Spanish had to barricade themselves against a mob oh open season, which at all times was on. If you monkeyed with a Mexican, you were likely to get a knife in your back. While you could kick a Chinaman all around, to monkey with a Frenchman, or Cousin Jack, you tackled something. One rascal went to a Chinamen's camp and tied their pigtails together in a hugh knot, jerked them around, and robbed them. Another time, a rope was thrown around them and pigtails tied together, and bounced around until they told where their gold was hid. The Yellow: Bellies were taxed $5.00, then wrongly taxed again. They were poorly fed and worked to death. Gibsonville Obituary -In the days of the placer mining industry, there was a certain element that sought it easier to obtain their gold by robbing the sluice boxes than by digging for it. This element was made up of all nationalities, as well as an occas-~ ional Gibsonville, above LaPort, was no exception. . The owners of the claims hired night watchmen to see that the gold was not lifted from the rifles at night by these gentry. The watchman, on a string of sluices at Gibsonville, saw a form bent over the boxes one night, and promptly unloaded some buckshot on the form. When day light came, the investigator produced a dead Chinaman. When the boss appeared, he was informed of what happened. He sent into town for a couple of saloon hangers-on to cowe out and bury the cadaver. The two lushes went out to the diggings, taking a bottle of liquid damnation along, in case of snake bites. Arriving at the scene of the tragedy, they proceeded to open the bottle and reduce their thirst, and then started digging close to the body. By the time the grave was deep enough, the bottle was about empty. They sat down to rest a few minutes before completing their job. After a few minutes, one remarked to his partner. “Damned, if I want to touch that God-damned heathen." His partner looked up, and asked, “that bottle empty?" Answer, “about two good drinks." "Gimme," he drained the bottle, threw it into the grave, picked up the pick, reached over and stuck it through the dead man's head, and aragged him over into the grave, then threw the pick in. "There, cover up the dam monkey." The Chinamen (Yellow Bellies) could outsmart the white men when it came to figures. One of the clauses in a Chinaman's contract, religiously held by their bosses. "Their bones or bodies to be returned to China." Chinaman Louie had a vegetable garden near Pet Hill. Mo Chow Quam and McCoy were two of the Chinamen of Rough and Ready. James Gallaway, in 1876, appeared before a State Senate Committee, and spoke of the Chinese: That they live in the meanest kind of hovels, are dirty in habit, and live on rice and fresh pork, and a nice fag dog. Wear wide board Chinese hats made of cane splints from China, raise their own vegetables. Rob sluice boxes, houses, and steal chickens, Have no morals except in carrying out contracts, or pay their bills. They are controlled by a head man; cost of living, 15 cents per day. Are willing slaves under some agency.
