THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAS, PORTLAND, AUGUST 24, 1902. zi DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN SOUTHERN OREGON Prospector Who Was in the Party Relates His Experiences & Inside History of Cattse of "Rogue River Indian War. PENDLETON. Or.. Aug. 22. (Special.) After in absence -of 2S years from the State of Oregon, I find, on my return, many chances have taken place In the cities and country, also many old pioneers of the Golden West have passed away, and eoon there will be no one to tell the early history and hardships that were passed through by the pioneers of tho "West. The Vttle early history I shall relate may be of but little Interest to tho young man or woman of Oregon, but there are still a few old settlers of tho "Willamette Valley that will read this article and call to mind tho name of the -writer. The writer left New York City In May, 3S49. with Captain Pike, for . California. "We arrived at the Isthmus in June, 1843, crossed on foot, and took a schooner for San Francisco, whore -we arrived in July, 1S19. From San Francisco I went to Sacra mento. thence to the American River, in California. At this time, placer mining was good. In the Fall of 1849 I went to Shasta City, thence to Redding Springs, where I spent the Winter. In the Spring of 1850, I prospected as far north as Yreka and had considerable trouble with the Shasta. Indians. Soon afterward I crossed tho Sisidyou Mountains into Oregon, and went down on Rogue River. The pros pecting party consisted of Luther Has brouck, Nathan Giles, Moses Dusenberry, George "Wells, Henry Lawrence, John Col- llns.John Twentyman and Captain Jen Slings. First Mining: in Oregon. The first-mining in Oregon was at Big Bar, near Rock Point, on Rogue River. inj Jackson County, in 1850. This was In the middle of May, and tho first placer mining in Southern Oregon. The diggings did not prove good, and the prospectors went down Rogue River until they came to a small stream since called Applegate Creek. lot finding gold in paying quantl ties on this creek, they followed the creek to Its head, crossed the Siskiyou Range into California, and came down to what at that time was called the Big Bar, on Klamath River. At this point they worked for two weeks. Not being satisfied here with the diggings which paid one-half of an ounce per day, the party went down Klamath River until It came to a small stream which was named Indian Creek, many Indians camping there. "We pros pected this creek to its head; but not finding sufficient gold to pay, we crossed the Siskiyou Mountains again into Oregon, and what is known now as Josephine County. "We discovered a river which we followed down until It went Into a can ypn. "Wo named this river Illinois, It run ning through Illinois Valley. We first camped on the north, side of. the Illinois River, then crossed to the south side, and went down the river until wo came to a small stream putting Into what Is now called Illinois River, which was afterward named Josephine Creek, after a daughter of Mr.s McGruder, who came in that same Summer. 1S50. First Gold Washed Oat. Josephine Creek was found to be very rich, paying one to two ounces per day. Luther Hasbrouck washed the ilrst pan of dirt on this creek; and it averaged 50c to the pan, and washed 16 pans. -It was in July, 1850, and was tho first discovery of gold In Josephine County, and our party composed the first white men in the Illi nois Valley. It may be of interest to those that are reading this article to describe the con ditions and surroundings that a new coun try presents to eight men in a country filled with wild animals, and above all the savage red man of the forest. It was nec essary at this time to frame some laws that -would be applicable to a new Eldo rado, and name the streams and valleys for the first time found by man. Luther Hasbrouck was elected captain of our small company and was designated to draw up the by-laws of the party. The The first thing that was done was to name the rivers, which was done hy bal lot. The first ballot was for the name of the valley. There being live men from the State of Illinois, they voted to call it Illi nois Valley, and it was so named. The next was the naming of tho river, which IN PARTY WHICH DISCOVERED GOLD IN OREGON. LUTHER- HASBROUCK. was also by ballot, and was named Illi nois River. Althouse Creek was named after a man by that name from Linn County. Or. later on. Sailor diggings was named after John Twentyman. he belns a seafaring man or sailor. On the way down the valley, wo enmned on Sucker Creek. At this place, wo caught a mess of suckers, and we called It Sucker Creek. The size o the mlninsr claims agreed to by the company on Josephine v-reetc ana tne number of claims allowed were as follows: It was agreed that the discoverer should have two claims, and all others coming in afterward one claim, with a frontage of SO feet Indians Are Troublesome. The Illinois Valley Indians at that time being troublesome. It was necessary to tulld a fort for quently a fort was built of logs on Jose phine Creek and called Fort Gldnev. It was so named after Nat Giles, wnose nick name was GIdney. As soon as the fort was completed we found it necessary to go out after provisions. It was agreed that lots should bo drawn should go out. The men who went out were Luther Hasbrouck. Moses berry, Henry Lawrence and Cautaln Jon. nlngs. They went north until they found me irau iron. Oregon to California, which they followed to Shasta City. There Un purchased supplies and returned, bolnir gone 21 days. The men expected that they nuuiu .nave independent "diggings" on Josephine Creek, but on their return they found a thriving mining town. Prohnhiv 2000 people were in Illinois Valley at this ume. It seems that our comnanv of men nm known in Northern California as flrsf- class prospectors, and were followed for two roontns ny a company of 10 men, who, as soon as they -found that the first company had found good diggings on Josephine Creek, returned and reported to au miners in isortnern California. This caused a grand rush to the new Eldorado on Josephine Creek, and from this timn all Southern Oregon was alive with hnv miners. Althouse Creek, Sailor Diggings, oucser reeK ana uauce Creeks were in full bloom. On the return of our Dartv that wont out to Shasta City for provisions, they found- that the other four partners had taken out $2200, besides hunting their own game and living entirely on deer meat for xz days. I presume there are some of fho old settlers still living In Oregon that havo a remeiibrance of tho Roguo River In dian War, but probably few know .the cause of this war, that led many brave pioneers of tho Golden West to- shed their blood for homo, family and protection. In the Fall of 1S50 Luther Hasbrouck went into partnership with Samuel Grubbe, John Twist and Ad Miller in the general merchandise and butchering busi ness. The partnership continued for near ly tWo years, and tho business was sold out to Mr. Derbysheer, who continued it. Just before selling out to Derbysheer the company had some cattle stolen by the Illinois Valley Indians, and they were caught with the meat in baskets, going to Deer Creek. On being overtaken, the Indians left their baskets and ran. Sam Grubbe went over to Deer Creek the next day and saw old Chief John, of the Illinois Valley Indians, and tried to ar range a settlement Chief John and the braves promised to come over the next aay to the store and get their baskets and make things right The next day 16 bucks came over on tho ridge near the Ktnro Sam Grubbe undertook to approach them unu give mem some blankets that were jeic witn tne. caskets containing the stolen meat, when all at once the 10 In dians turned loose and shot at Gruhh. They shot through his clothes and blan- Kets, nut did not wound him. j.ne Indians then fled back to Deer Creek. Sam Grubbe was a very angry man utier mis occurrence, and swore he would have revenge. Tho next morning he insisted that four of the party should go over to Deer Creek and havo a talk wun unier Joan. The rest of the com pany said no, as it was a dangerous trip and refused, and he went nlnn nm John, the chief, promised to como over ana mae peace. .Next morning tho In dians came over and nrcDared for n. flcht and. discovering they were on tho war path with guns and bows and arrows all drawn ready to shoot. "Ad" Miller and Sam Grubbe shot two Indians. The rest of tho band retreated to Deer Creek. This was in tne i'ail of 1852. the timn. of tho killing the first Indians by whites In tho Illinois Valley. This trouble -was tho commencement and cause of the Roguo -twivcr inuian war. LUTHER HASBROUCK.

DELANESSAN RESPECT for the life of others and their possessions, deference for all men older - than themselves, pro tection and care to children, to "women, to the aged, to the sick, to the Infirm, tho -obligation to unite all together for the' defense of life and" common social Interests against the danircrs menacing It from outside, the maxim that one should do to others as one wishes them to do to oneself euch are tho only moral pre cepts, extremely simple and common to all social groups, which are to be found In the early works of the poets, tho philosophers, or the founders of religion. Attention to Individual Interests has al ways been held as despicable and blame worthy. v Progress counts among lbs essential ele ments Individual egoism Inherited from our ancestors which continues to be de veloped In the heart of each person while at; the same time giving birth to the sentiments excited hy mutual relations and exchango of services. In virtue of thl3 hereditary. Inevitable egotism each Individual Is lmpelted to become more Intelligent, more Influential and more wealthy than his fellow-bclnga In spite of his affectionate regards for them. Behold In consequence the open strife between the love of self and the love of others, between egoism and altruism; In cessant and terrible strife which has dom inated the entire history of our race, lnj which Ignorance, passions, prejudices con fuse a Just conception of individual and found nothing immoral in transforming Into slaves their Indolent fellows, and there are even now In the world many countries where this practice obtains without shocking the moral sense of their most virtuous members. In Jerusalem the people revolted in the namo of the morals of Israel when Herod wished to build a simple theater; while at Rome at the same time, and alwaj-3 In the name of tho national morality, tho entire population passed Its.- life In ap plauding spectacles tho most abominable and the bloodiest the world has ever known. As many moralities as nations, but in each case the code is essentially egoistic, taking into account only the particular tastes and Interests of tho nation. In every nation there Is also a special code for every social group. The morality of tho philosopher Is rarely that of the magistrate. The morality of the men who make laws frequently differs from that of those who aro called upon to obey them. The morality of the aristocrat Is not the same as that of the plebeian; that of the merchant differs In a number of respects from that of the functionary or soldier. There are as many moral codes as there are social groups, and each egoistic! Religions themselves rapidly liberate themselves from the narrow limits of primitive times. They speedily como to represent quite different things than the collections of beliefs. Ideas, moral pre general Interests, trouble both brains and ' ccpts' extrcmd- slmPle. and rituals not hearts and infinitely complicate the Ideas ! ln 1110 leaat eJmPle. Vhose mysteries the iamiiy usea 10 guard wun a tort ot shame, of which the onlly priest was the chief of the patrlarchlal community and of which the only, disciples were the chil dren and grandchildren, of the venerated patriarch. They become national Institutions: they impregnate the nation with their Ideas, passions, -prejudices; their god-or their multlplo gods are transformed Into na tlonal deitlesr-that is to say, becomo re sponsible for whatever of good or III at first so simple and so just which were entertained regarding our social duties. In proportion as individual Interests as sumo Importance, as physical and Intellectual Inequality becomes pro nounced. Involving Inequalities ln the division of riches end moral In fluence; In proporUon as the number of members of society Increases and tho tribe or village Is transformed Into a na tion, the necesslUes of social life deter mine the division of labor, the constltu- I tlon of distinct organisms for the different j which befalls the nation, charged to pro- funcUons, and the partition of individuals first Into families, then into diverse groups, each of which plays Its particular role. We see then how fatally are developed In each groilp of society, and ln the ensemble of the solid body itself, egois tic sentiments nonethe less narrow, none the less ardent, none tho less redoubtable for the fate of moral Ideas than the per sonal egoism which each Individual In herits from his ancestors, each family from their antecedents. Under the Influence qf these sentiments qvery nation and caon of the social groups Into which it is divided conceives particular Ideas relative to social ideas, and soon thcro exists as many distinct codes of morals as there are nations in tho world, as there are social groups in each nation. In all epochs of history and In all places, to kllPany member whatever of the nation ln which one Is born has been held a crime punishable by death. To massacre as great a number as pos sible of the members of all other nations, to pillage their houses their ships, to burn or destroy their Industries, on' the contrary, for a number of centuries were acts encouraged by the particular social moral of each people; and these even to- uuy are acis eminently productive of laurels and of glory when they are ac complished under certain conditions. Many peoples of antiquity who con demned slavery In their own territory lent tnemselves without scruples to the most extended traffic ln slaves belonging to other populations, and hence did not tee in slavery anything contrary to their so cial morals. Others, sUU less scrupulous, tect It against everything and to fight for it heedless of the legitimacy or justice of the Issue. "With each religion there is a correspond ing body of priests, recognized by the nation and forming a social group distinct from all others, bearing, like tho others. Its own particular interests. However, under the influence of Intel lectual progress, advancing from century to century, special groups Involving en tire humanity are formed. The barriers which separate nations al ready have been disturbed by locomo tives, steamboats, telegraphs and tele phones, while at the same time a mass of common interests arc born on every hand in the frontiers of diverse peoples, bringing Into constant relationship mil lions of Individuals of all nations and races, and, above all, giving rise to new sentiments which create new ideas as to the duties which all men must fulfill to all others irrespective of the spot on the globe whore they were born. Do we not see already rising on the horizon human societies, the dawn rays of the fraternity preceding the radiant sun of humanity? Even religious groups are diminishing in number as the number of their gods disappear. "W'c often see the followers of Judaism renounce the practices of their codes In order to obtain the rights of other members of society and without Im pairing their honor. Is it necessary to add that science dis covers the source of ideas relative to in dividual duties as well ao those to oth ers by the simple investigation of nature? The educator, In my opinion, should, first of all teach his pupils the facts rela- CORDRAY'S THEATE JOHN F.
