Pay-Dirt- i .v By ELMO SCOTT WATSON N JANUARY 24 it Is exactly 85 years since a crew of workmen, en gaged In the prosaic task of build Ing a sawmill on a western river, noticed no-ticed some glittering particles In the sand and picked them up to carry them back to their employer. From that simple circumstance grew one of the most romantic episodes In the annals of our nation and before the final links In the chain of cause and effect had been forged the discovery which they made that day had profoundly af fected the social, political and economic history of the whole United States. For January 24, 1848, was the real beginning of "the olden days, the golden days, the days of f), the beginning of the first great gold rush In America, the be ginning of an epic migration which has few parallels In history. Paradoxical as It may sound, the "Days of M9" In reality began In 1848. But, considering the term In Its broadest Interpretation, the title of The First of the Forty-Nlners1 may justly be applied to three men Johann August ' Sutter, James Wilson Marshall and Sam Brannan. Considering Con-sidering the Importance of the movement which they launched, they should have come to the end of their careers "full of years and honors." But Fate played a grim joke on this trio, and the end of all three was almost a literal proof of the old Spanish proverb that "He who finds gold will die In the almshouse." Let us consider their careers In the order of their appearance on the stage of this romantic drama. First Johann August Sutter, the Swiss adventurer, who had emigrated to America In 1834, went west and In July, 1839, was stranded In the Bay of Yerba Buena (now San Francisco). After making a Journey Into the Interior, where he was much impressed with the possibilities of the country, he conceived the scheme of founding found-ing a colony In the Sacramento valley. California Cali-fornia was then owned by Mexico and Monterey was the capital Hastening there Sutter laid his plan before Gov. Juan Alvaredo. He would establish a cordon cor-don of outposts and check the Incursions of hos tile Indians from the north, he would gather the peaceful Indians of California together and give them employment and he would bring Kanakas Kan-akas from the Sandwich islands also to work ! for him. So Impressed was Alvaredo with Sutter's Sut-ter's scheme that he gave him a grant of eleven square leagues. - So In 1841 Sutter established his colony, which he named New Helvetia or New Switzerland. Within a few years Sutter had wrought a mar velous transformation In the raw country. Bridges were built over the streams, roads marked out, marshes drained, wells and ditches dug, and many other Improvements made. The Mexican government had appointed him gover nor of northern California and he reigned in New Helvetia In feudal splendor over nearly 100,000 acres (for Sutter had been very generous with himself In surveying his "eleven square leagues") of land, tended by several hundred white, Kanaka and Indian retainers. In his pastures pas-tures grazed 12,000 head of cattle, 15,000 sheep and 2,000 horses and mules. Establishing stores he traded from Canada to Mexico and as far east as St. Louis. Governor Micheltorena, Al- varedo's successor, presented him with an addi tional eleven square leagues. It Is at this point that James Wilson Marshall comes Into the picture. Born In New Jersey, Marshall was originally a wagonmaker by trade but he had heard the call of the West and had been a wanderer over a large part of the trans-Misslsslppl trans-Misslsslppl region until finally he became an employee of Sutter, a sort of a foreman. Marshall had persuaded Sutter that it was high time for them to quit getting out the lumber which they needed by hewing and whipsawlng and suggested that they build a sawmill. Accordingly Ac-cordingly Sutter sent Marshall to build a mill on the American river about 40 miles above the fort . On the historic morning of January 24 he went to Inspect the mill race and noticed some glittering glit-tering particles in the sand. It might be gold, or It might be only mica. Marshall, who knew something about the common tests for gold, sub jected the particles to these tea and as the re sult began to believe that he had actually discovered dis-covered some of the precious metal He does not seem to have been very much excited over It, however, for It was not until two or three days later that he made a trip back to the fort to tell Sutter of the discovery he had made. The two men Immediately set to work testing the metal first with nitric acid, the" by balancing It on scales with an equal weight of silver and placing the scales under water. In water, the gold dust, having more specific gravity than the silver, pulled down the scales. There was no longer any doubt In their minds as to what these shining particles were. That night Sutter, as he later eald, "felt the curse of the thing upon him." He and Marshall agreed to keep the matter secret until they could finish the mill and until they could establish claim to the surrounding lands. So Sutter called together the Indians who had a nominal title to Gei. John A. Sutter sws vara The'49er Memorial friLosAngeles ' these lands and from them leased twelve square miles of the surrounding country. Then be sent an employee named Charles Bennett to Monterey to have the lease confirmed by Colonel Mason, the American military governor of California. On the way Bennett stopping at Benlcia, re vealed the purpose of his Journey. Curiously enough, few who heard his story believed It and only a few went to the American river to Investigate, Make way now for Sam Brannan I Who Sut ter and Marshall were and what they did Is known to virtually every American school child. But history has strangely neglected this flamboyant flamboy-ant character, Sam Brannan, who was, If any thing, the most romantic figure of the three. Back In the late thirties and early forties Brannan Bran-nan was a Journeyman printer, a free-lance writer, an editor and "a natural born promoter." Also he Joined the Mormon church, when that sect began to flourish, and from "an editorial Job on the Messenger, a Mormon propagandist newspaper, news-paper, be soon blossomed out Into a full-fledged elder In the Church of the Latter Day Saints. About the time of the exodus of the Mormons from Nauvoo, EL, under the leadership of Brig-ham Brig-ham Young for their Journey westward to find the promised land, Brannan chartered the little ship Brooklyn, filled It with some 300 Mormons and set sail from New York via Cape Horn for California. Late in July, 1848, the Brooklyn passed through the Golden Gate and Brannan's Mormons were the first American colonists to reach Yerba Buena, the little Spanish settlement on San Francisco bay. It Is doubtful whether Sam was at heart a Mormon, or anything else In a religious way. He was an opportunist of the first water and Mor-monlsm, Mor-monlsm, for his purposes, was as good as any other religion. At any Tate, It gave the rover a sort of clerical standing and a chance for leadership lead-ership which he was not the man to overlook. In the hold of his ship he had brougtt with him a newspaper plant, the machinery for a flour mill plows, harrows and other pioneer necessities. ne-cessities. He assumed leadership from the day of his landing. He preached the first English sermon ever heard there, solemnized the first American marriage on the soU, set op the first flour mill and gave the little settlement Its first newspaper, the California Star. It wasn't long before he cut loose from the Saints. Or, rather, the Saints got rid of him. A Mormon sketch of his life says, "His course and haWts were not consistent with the life of a Latter Day Saint and he was disconnected from the church." But if his career as a Mormon had ended, his career as a California promoter (perhaps anether historic "first") had Just begun. He got out a special edition of his Star, within a few months after his arrival at Yerba Buena, and sent two thousand copies of the paper overland to the Mississippi valley and the eastern states, extolling extol-ling the virtues of the country to prospective settlers. Then came March, 1848, bringing with It to Yerba Buena the first news of the discovery of gold on General Sutter's lands. A brief account of the fact was published In a rival paper, but Brannan's editor was Inclined to discredit the news, as were also most of the new colonists. But to Sam Brannan It was a bugle call to new adventure. He went to the scene of the alleged find and In a few weeks he came galloping back to San Francisco, rushed through the Plaza hat- less and travel stained, waving In his hand a flask of gold dust as he shouted, "Gold, Gold, Gold from the American river." Again Sam Brannan was a "first" the first to bring to San Francisco authentic news of the gold discovery. There was a rush to the diggings, Sam's Mormons Mor-mons following his lead again, "as If he had been the Pied Piper," says one chronicler. Within few days only seven men out of three hundred were left in the town. By June 2,000 miners were at work near the sawmill now called Coloma. By July 4,000 were there. The earliest arrivals were of the better class and Sutter had no trouble with them. They patronized his stores and purchased all of their supplies from him. But when the gold lure drew to California an Influx of men from all corners of the earth, there came more bad men than good, who corrupted his Indians with their dead Is firewater and Influenced his hitherto faithful employees to desert him. Squatters settled on his lands and Jeered at his efforts to dislodge them. His vineyards were trampled to the ground; his livestock stolen, his stores looted and the Improvements which he had made ap propriated for the use of the maddened gold seekers. The titles to his lands received under the grants from the Mexican government were not respected and Sutter appealed In vain to the American authorities. He brought suit against more than 17,000 persons and spent more than $200,000 In prosecuting his claims. From being the greatest man In that country he found himself him-self becoming the most hated because of the liti gation In which he was Involved, and eventually the hatred resulted in the destruction of his home, the Hermitage, to which he had retired before the onrush of the argonauts. After sev eral years of litigation In which he was repeat edly defeated Sutter, the former "king," found himself a ruined man. The state of California granted him a pension of $250 a month but after receiving It for 14 years he voluntarily re linquished that bounty, In 1872 he sent his two daughters to Bethlehem, Bethle-hem, Pa., to enter a Moravian school and later transferred them to another school In LItltz. There he made his home and spent his declining years In numerous visits to Washington and In futile attempts to secure Justice from the federal fed-eral government which he claimed had allowed him to be robbed during the gold rush. He died In Washington on June 17, 1880, and he died In poverty. As for Marshall, he received the same treatment treat-ment from the gold seekers that had been Sut ter's portion. California gave him a pension of $1,200 a year, then withdrew It because the legislature leg-islature believed the money was spent in drink to which he had become addicted. In August 1885, five years after Sutter's death, a lonely, embittered, poverty-stricken old man died In a ramshackle hut In the dying town of Coloma. It was James W. Marshall "the man who discovered discov-ered gold In California." As for Sam Brannan, he enjoyed a period of glory and of prosperity for a time, then the curse of gold overtook him. , With the Incoming flood tides of adventurers and settlers, Sutter's fort expanded Into Sacramento Sacra-mento City and San Francisco became a metrop olis of many races the most cosmopolitan and the most lawless city In the world. Between the two cities as his bases of operations Brannan grew rich and prosperous. There was o species of Industry beyond his exploitation. He was gambler and banker, merchant and hotel owner. Importer and exporter, gold digger and real es tate speculator, shipowner and perhaps a bit of a smuggler. Everything was grist for Sam's mill The great commercial house of Osborn & Bran nan, specializing In oriental merchandise, became be-came one of San Francisco's biggest Institutions. And Sam Brannan ruled the city like a mandarin. man-darin. He spent money like a prince, entertained lavishly, drank deeply, played for high stakes and became the most spectacular figure In a delirious de-lirious city of magic and madness. This lasted for a while, then came the turn In his fortunes. Misfortunes began to rain down npon him and he sought solace In drink. The Utah Legislature The 20th regular session of the Utah legislature received a very strong call for economy In the annual an-nual message to the lawmaking body from Governor Ilenry H. Blood. . The message said, In part, . . . "never since statehood have conditions condi-tions required such rigid appllca tions of economy In state expend tures. The governor suggests the issuing is-suing of $2,000,000 of bonds to meet the deficit now facing the state treasury." Consideration of a limited sales tax on articles non-essential to public pub-lic welfare to raise funds for school purposes and as a means of reducing property taxes is another item of the message. Some other suggestions are: Careful Care-ful consideration of the Income tax filing fee and provision to make up the loss of income, should the filing fee be abolished; endorsement of the income and franchise taxes as a means of reducing the burden of taxation on property, and underscoring under-scoring that part of the tax commission com-mission report- which advocates the repeal of property tax offsets ; elimination of non-essentials In educational ed-ucational system to meet changed conditions of Income; banking legislation; leg-islation; continuance of the state's present road policy; change of law to permit non-partisan Judiciary and non-partisan department of education; ed-ucation; changes advocated In motor mo-tor vehicle law relating to load limits, lim-its, non-resident period of grace; increase in-crease in motor truck tax to make this type of traffic carry proportionate propor-tionate cost of road Improvement and government; approval of activities activ-ities of state fish and game department depart-ment and the department of public health; study of unemployment needed with reference to local units of government doing more toward self-help; ratification of 20th amendment to the federal constitution constitu-tion abolishing "lame duck" sessions; ses-sions; attention is directed toward the changing economic trend, as contrasted con-trasted with that of the period preceding pre-ceding 1929; a survey of the present pres-ent situation shows a serious farm mortgage condition, which would be disastrous If wide scale foreclosures fore-closures were put Into effect The first week of the regular session ses-sion was passed in consideration of the proposed code of laws. Planned changes In laws pertalnlDg to everything ev-erything from the licensing of motor mot-or drivers, tobacco taxes, oleo restrictions, re-strictions, and the pulling of teeth, by other persons than dentists, have been considered. Observers predict that the legislature legis-lature will close its study of the code very soon, and attack the problem prob-lem of either passing or rejecting it so that discussion of other legislation legis-lation may be started. There has been some dissatisfaction dissatisfac-tion manifested by members because consideration of -vital economic problems was being delayed by the study of the code. "It seems to me that the house Is fiddling while Rome burns," said Representative W. Lamoreoux, In urging greater haste on the part of the lawmakers. Representatives Tope, Salt Lake and Allen of Piute also advocated more speed In arriving at the vital needs of the people. The mechanics of code adoption procedure has been carefully work ed out in the report of the joint steering committee, which as adopt ed, provides that reports on the code will be given title by title and the exact wording of any proposed change. Reports of committees will not be considered until all hearings on the code have been completed and a gentleman's agreement has been made that If new bills are introduced in-troduced before adoption or rejection rejec-tion of the code, they will be referred refer-red to the proper committees, and not reported out The senate unanimously adopted two memorials to Congress. One Introduced by Senator Knox Tatter-son, Tatter-son, urges the national body to pnss the Colton grazing bill and the oth er, tne uauie diu, ssks authorization authoriza-tion of $125,000,000 federal aid road work during the fiscal year of 1934, starting July 1, 1933. A memorial on silver introduced In the legislature, states In part. "Therefore, the legislature of the state of T7h, the governor concur ring therew, earnestly recommends a greater use of silver as a monetary mone-tary supplement to gold, thereby Increasing In-creasing the supply of metallic money for use as a circulating medium med-ium and as a base for currency and credit which by amplification of the supply of basic money will stabilize sta-bilize currency, credit and International Interna-tional exchange and Increase and stabilize prices of commodities, with many and great advantages that will result therefrom.
