How can he be so deadly sure, So supernaturally secure On his own trail? There is a line of an old song which tells us that “‘each one thinks his own way is the best way, and of that there is scarcely a doubt. Some of us select the trails which we wish to follow, but the majority of men and women inherit them. We follow Dad down his political trail, we are of Mother's religious faith, we adopt the economic principals of the family into. which we are born, in fact, the trails we follow clearly prove that we followed the line of least resistance and:made use of that “which we found all ready and waiting for us. Now with so many trails—thousands of them, in fact, leading every which way, how can one little man be dead sure that his trail is indeed the best one?

' H.P. DAVIS : BOOKS . A review of *‘The Elephant as They Saw It,’’ a recent publication of the State Division of Mines, printed in this column Dec. 2, noted, certain extracts from J. D. Bothwick’s book “‘Three Years in California,”’published in Edinburgh in 1857. The book is in the opinion of this writer by long adds the most informative and. readable of the many accounts of the gold rush era by writers who participated therein.’-Miss Elizabeth Egehoff, the compiler of the “‘Elephant’” used most excellent judgment im her selection of material for her little book but was, of course, limited ‘to comparatively short extracts from such works as Bothwick'’s. ae ee In this article I quote from the Elephant book and sup. plement this with extracts from the original edition of “Threé Years in California,” with explanatory comments. In seeing the elephant, Miss Egenhoff recounted some of Bothwick’s impressions of life in such mining camps as Hangtown (now Placerville) and some of the most interesting of his notes of methods then employed to one authentic picture of the manner in which the early setstlers of the town lived and had their being. . The theatre at which the above noted performances were given was Hamlet Davis’ Dramatic Hall, the first house of entertainment in this town. , It was opened in the spring of 1851 with Dr. Robinson's company of players and excepting the short run of the Jenny Lind only hall where dramatic performances could be given until the construction of Frisbie’s concert hall in September, 1853. Dramatic Hall, originally a second story addition to Hamlet Davis’ store on the northeast corner of Broad and Pine streets, was later replaced by a two-story brick ‘building, the, first brick structure to be erected in: this town. Of the subsequent history of the United States Hotel no record is available but the log. and shake building occupied in 1852 by the Hotel de Paris was, shortly after Bothwick’s visit, sold to the City of Nevada for use as a temporary courthouse. NOTES—(1) While @ considerable number of the great pine treés which covered the hillsides were cut down and used for the construction of cabins and bridges, the town site was finally denuded of standing timber in the first great fire which had. occurred about eighteen months prior to Mr. Bothwick’s visit to this town. back (2) In these early days great rivalry existed between the gambling places. At the time of which Mr. Bothwick writes the most popular of these were the Empire and Barkers. Exchange on opposite sides of lower Main street. These establishments vied with each other in the maginificence of their of them maintained orchestras of ten or twelve musicians. recover the gold from placer workings. Quoting Bothwick she tells of the manner in which the gold seekers took the law into their own hands and settled disputes by “miners law.” Bothwick concluded this particular paragraph with his impression that he ‘never saw a court of justice with so little humbug about it.”” Of his visit to this town Bothwick told of reaching . Nevada City between 5 and 6 o'clock on a fine evening in the late fall of 1852. Being “‘particularly ravenous” after his long hike and a salt pork dinner at Bear river crossing Bothwick’s first impulse was to find a likely place for a good supper. “‘l found,” he says, “‘a house bearing the sign of ‘Hotel de Paris and my choice was made at once.” This. writer is unable to identify precisely the site of this hotel but from all available evidence it was located on Broad street across from the National hotel. Finding that he must wait a half hour for his supper he strolled about the town “to see what sort of a place it was.” : “It is,’ he wrote, “beautifully situated on the hills bordering a small creek, and had once been surrounded by a forest of magnificent pine trees which, however, had been made to become useful instead of ornamental, and nothing remains to show that they had existed but numbers of stumps all over the hill sides.”’ (1) ‘SThe bed of the creek . . . was choked up with heaps of ‘tailings,’ the washed dirt from which the gold had been extracted, the white color of the dirt (largely pipe clay) rendering it still more unsightly.” “The town itself,’’ continued Bothwick, “‘is like all other mining towns, a mixture of staring white houses, dingy old-canvas booths and log cabins.” . This was in the fall of ‘52 evidently before the great fire of September 7 of that year. The town was then built up from the two Deer creek bridges to about the site of the Pioneer cemetery. Most of the homes and practically all the business places were either rough log cabins or flimsy shacks and canvas structures, and no brick buildings had yet been erected. 3 The supper at the Hotel de Paris was the best got-up thing of the kind that. Mr. Bothwick had sat down to for some months. **We began,” he says, “with soup—rather flimsy stuff, but pretty good; then bouilli, followed by filet de boeuf, with cabbage, carrots, turnips, and onions; after which came what the landlord called a ‘god dam rosbif’ with green peas, and the whole wound up with a salad of raw cabbage, a cup of good coffee and cognac.” . The company was nearly all French miners, among whom was a young Frenchman whom Bothwick had met in San Francisco and who he hardly recognized in a picturesque miner's costume. “We passed the evening together,’"” wrote Bothwick, “in some of the gambling rooms, where we heard pretty good music; (2) and as there were no sleeping quarters to be had in the Hotel de Paris I went. to an American hotel close by.” From Bothwick’s description it is evident that this was the United States Hotel. It was, he says, ‘‘a three-decker. All around the four walls were three tiers of canvas covered shelves partitioned into spaces about six feet long” in one of which he laid himself seeking the sleep he so greatly needed. ; Next door, however, was a large thin (narrow) wooden building in which a theatrical company was performing. They were playing Richard III and Bothwick could, he wrote, hear every word as distinctly as if he had been in a stage-box. He could even fancy that he saw King Dick rolling his eyes about like a man in a fit when he shouted for *“‘a horse! a horse!"’ ; “After King Richard was disposed of, the orchestra, which seemed to consist of two fiddles, favored with a very miscellaneous piece of music.”’ Then followed a rendition of “Bombastes Furiosi,”’which says Mr. Bothwick, was very creditably performed. Some half dozen men, the only occupants of the lodging house besides himself had, Mr. Bothwick says, been snoring comfortably all through both performances, and now about a dozen men who had been to the theatre, came in and rolled themselves up on their -respective shelves. . -In-this brief description of a night in Nevada City in and Ready hotel and Blue Bird confectionery in Grass Valley.
