No word of nuns cu describe ths scenes that were enacted during that chaotic period.. Thousands of men, organized in bands or wholly disorganised, were constantly arriving from every part of the world and leav ing for the digging. Outlaw snd pro fessional gambler opened saloons by the score at every point where men con- gregated. Money wa scattered every-' where as if by the wind. Miners wno had realized fortune in few days came down to Stockton, Sacramento ' and Ban Francisco to squander them In night Scarcely ft woman waa any where to be seen. All restraining influ- .. trices ot tociety were absent and I can not find an expression better suited to the caes than "Pandemonium on s frolic."
