TAILINGS "The City. WALLOUPA 1852 By Hollis Bentley It was the pale green of early summer when the oak leaves were still tender and the grass sprang from eventhe barest ground, Last fall's wildflower seeds, planted by the wind and safe through the winter cold, were stirring in the w arming earth and soon would sprinkle the meadow grass with color, And pushing their way with new born strength through the forest floor of fallen leaves, tiny heads were appearing ---the offspring of the giant cedar, fir and pine. On days when even the sun seemed young and new anda little pale, the pale days of early. summer, when pale gold shone from the sky, mineral gold was found in the earth on Squirrel Hill. It wasn't new summer that filledthe miners to bursting with jubilation and reawakened dreams of wealth. But the sun felt good on their backs as they rested and enthusiastically planned their future and the great boom town that would soon rise near Squirrel Hill, In their minds they sat upon the site of the greatest gold discovery in California and they could already see the great city that would rise beside it. Each man in his own mind created the city, with himself either present and prominent or gone to other parts but remembered with great esteem. The four men, sitting on the damp ground in their workworn.clothes, came upon the problem simultaneously, and felt ‘ it a serious one: what to name the city? "You know," said Jose in his careful English, “a city should be named for a great man. Perhaps a man who is great in a small way, so that his small greatness willbe remembered. " He looked at his fellows for their approval but saw that his speech had confusedthem. "Well, Iam thinking of Guadelupe who saved all those Indios in Grass Valley this winter. So noble and handsome a man for a Digger.” ~ “He'sno Digger," Sam began. "Lookit him---straight and tall. He's Sioux or something like that. He just showed up and then disappeared." “Yeah,” Charlie said softly, "This Wad-Lu-Pe blew in with the wind at sunrise after a big storm, Chief Wymmer says. " Charlie looked up at the clear sky and then his eyes scanned the woods carefully. "I-wouldn't eat manzanita berries and grubs the way they. do," Herman remarked. "Well, even so," Sam said, "they didn't have enough of even that kind of stuff to last ‘em through the winter. Without this Waddlepe they would of starved or tore Grass Valley apart for food.

Hank told ‘em it was too much but this Loopy fellow, he —
said gold didn't mean anything to the Indians but the kind of good faith Hank had shown meant life to many of them.” Charlie said thoughtfully, then grinned, . “they sure did put on a. wing ding in townthat day.
