Every foot of the gulch . . . was undergoing dis- placement, and it was already disfigured by huge heaps of gravel which -had been passed through the sluices and rifled of their glittering contents. . . • Gold was abundant, and every possible device was employed by the gamblers, the traders, the vile men and women that had come in with the miners into the locaUty, to obtain it. Nearly every third cabin was a saloon where vile whiskey was peddled out for fifty cents a drink in gold dust. Many of... these places were filled with gambling tables and gamblers. . . . Hurdy-gurdy dance-houses were numerous. . . . Not a day or night passed which did not yield its full frui- tioti of vice, quarrels, wounds, or murders. The crack of the revolver was often heard above the merry notes of the violin. Street fights were frequent, and as no one knew when or where they would occur, every one was on his guard against a random shot. Sunday was always a gala day. . . . The stores were all open. . . . Thousands of people crowded the thoroughfares ready to rush in the direction of any promised excitement.
