The real story of Gilbert stnrts
In lftltfi wIhmi Charles Lnmpson,
a desert prospector, picked up a
piece of rich gold quartz nenr un
Indian camp in the Monte Crlsto
range. " Thompson spent many
months searching the hills for the
outcropping from which tho gold
had come. Klnnlly he gave .ip an l
wandered- away to other fields.
J. B. Gilbert took up the search,
lie met ' with no more 1 success
tlmn I.ampson. His sons, -however,
persisted . in the hunt. The old.?r
Gijbert (Med. iTiany tyein . ago..
Nearly' 2 :i" "years latVr his thruo
sons, J'r(d, Herman and Logan,
located the last Hope. They had
called . it that because they had
planned to .make it their last ef
fort to wring gold from thos-1
hills.' !
The Gilbert boys began to get
values from ' the surface. They
took out n shipment, and the ex
citement started. A few days lat
er Dick Haycraft, a veteran pros
pector, working for the Gilberts,
discovered the "jnwelry shop" In
a badger - hole on top of a hill
now known as the ItlneU Mam
moth. ' Rome of the rock assayed
$1 or more a pound. This start
ed a stampede.
The exposed rock on the sur
face of the Gtlbert holdings Is so
rich that an aimed guard patrols
the place night and day. It is
estimated that not less than fSfiOii
has been given away In speci
mens. Hundreds of prospectors are In
tho surrounding hills. Many nev.
strikes have hern reported. Kvry
day the interest growp more In

Tragedy had played leap frog with
this chieftain In his prime; catas
trophe was nipping at his heels
in advancing age; disappointment
crowned his declining years. Yet
ho saw a last chance to regain his
stolen rlf? his and came hack to his
home of former, days on such a
mission. j
Ills T.ast Appeal
Standing on tho court house (
steps ho made )ls last appeal f or j
his Inheritance. Joseph hypnntix- i
,ed ills audience. Of colossal phys- j
(tine yet graceful as u Itoolh, he i
had pol.se and carriage, and a pet- j
.sonallly that, obi as he was. warm-
Md his audience In cause. In I
Jiis yonlh, his prime and old age,
these regal at I rihnles never for
sook Chief Joseph. They were, a
pari of him. No other Indian has
.embodied all these qualities and
few whites of his time could :
.insteh ills intellect. Jtnt his plea
for safe return of his 1iow wastod
remnants uf a once n utile tribe,
eventually fell 'on deaf ears.

CSiue and tragic life Joseph rap
Idly fades from the picture eon-

Where was he hurled? Is the dust

less magnificent brain amalga
mated with the rerllle soil oj" Wal
lowa conn I y today, or it is not ?
What of the past of the bones in
the neglected burial grounds at the
fool of Wallowa lake? Who stole
the chief's body away al night?
All these mie.st Ions are the basis
of a wonderful yarn that will
charm the generations yet to come J
even more than they seem to in- !

Indians. It is a story of the mosl

needs careful recording In order
that Ihe myths, the legends and
