He made a fortune from gold on Brush Creek. GOLD CACHE: Benjamin Dooley of Rough and Ready, was a hermit in 1860. He dug for gold and did no banking, nor would he spend a dime. He did not drink or gamble. This caused suspicion that he buried his gold. One day Ben was found dead in his cabin of heart trouble. Rough and Ready people puried Ben decently. The treasure hunt was on, the cabin carefully torn down, and the three acres of land around his cabin was sifted out for gold, which proved to be lost labor. No trace of gold found. Three years later, a boy was hunting for squirrels and stopped at Ben's spring for a drink. Bending down at the cool spring for the drink, his hand was pierced by tin: Curious, he unearthed a three gallon kerosene can, "Dooley's Hoard.” The can held gold dust, tied up in 40 small ‘puckskin bags, worth 316,000.00. Killing of Campbell by Larue, Murder of Scobey, midnight raid en-massed horses and foot to surround and capture his murderers. Jim Lundry (fiend) murderous duel with young and gallant Biddle. One of the Hey Days most amusing trials, 1853. William Watt had located a set of mining claims at Boston Ravine, and his rights disputed by a combination, who claimned the whole ravine. This came before Justice John Little's court. Attorney Biddle, representative of the combination, and it was believed impossible to win a mining
