The old tluu Bwellcra of mountain and plaln--the turn who "fought Indiana and hunted buffalo out west" during the overland train ilitys of tha early alxtles-have suriiggoU their shoulders at tha men tlou vf Whisky Gap for nearly 40 years. This Is the place, according to tholr Ndlef, where real 'firewater" guheJ out of the rocks In a teautlful mountain spring to quench the thirst of a whole company of I'ncle Ham's trained Indian fighters. "It waa uotb lag but pure spring water," they aay; "a veritable fouutalu of youth. Colonel C C, IViutant, the author of a history of Wyoming and the ploueer days of the west, has learned the trua atory of Whisky (Jap to be somewhat different from the fountain of youth fable. According to historical record of the early dnya along the govern meul overland trail. Whisky Gap re ceived Ita uame In during the building of the overland atage rotito from Ivnver to Salt Lake City anJ the Pacific coast Tha people of Denver had long leen worklug to secure the regular overlan 1 1 route, Uion connecting tne east and the west In 1SU2 lien Uolllday, i a teterao atage man, becama proprto- tor of the great overland line, and hs agreed upou a rout ruuulnic throng)) IH-Dvcr to the west Ha decided to dis continue that part of the road running up the North Platte and the Sweetwa ter rivers and across South Pasa, Wy. The many ImUan difficulties experi enced on this route were the Induce ments to abandon It. The new trail led by way of Jules- burg. Colo., to Denver, and on over tha established wagon road to Fort I.up- ton. and north acrosa Laramie plalua, then due west through Bridge Pass, Wy, Joining the old trail leading across the country to the Pacific coast The change was made during the sum mer of All the rolling stock. hones and other property of the coin pauy were gathered at the station Just almve IevU's Gate. In central Wyo ming.

The camp se lected waa In a gap In the mountaJna where there were a One spring and plenty of wood for cooking purposes. Shortly after going Into camp the major discovered that quite a number of hla soldiers were Intoxicated, and he at once sent for Lieutenant W. II. Brown, who waa officer of the day, and Informed him of the condition of many of the men and gave tt as bis opinion that some one waa selling whisky In the camp. The command waa doing escort duty not only for atage stock and stores, but also for a number of emlgranta who bad availed them selves of the opportunity for safe con duct over the plalna. Lieutenant Brown received orders to search all wagons, and If be should discover whisky to destroy It Taking a corporal and three or four men, he commenced the search for the contra band article and found at last a barrel of whisky In an emigrant wagon. The officer ordered hla men to roll the bar rel out of the wagon, knock In the head and empty the contents on the ground. This waa done, but tt chanced that tha spot where the whisky waa emptied waa Just above the spring, and the fiery liquid went pouring down Into the water supply of the camp. The soldiers saw what was going on, and they rushed forward with cups, canteens, buckets and camp ket tles to save what they could of the coveted "spirits." Many a man stoop ed over the spring and drank almost without breathing until bo was drunk. One soldier who had succeeded In getting a full canteen from the spring patd his respects to Major O'Farrell at the headquarters tent, assuring his commanding officer, with maudlin mien and many a "hlc," that that was the finest spring he had ever seen and the very best water he had ever tastciL Major O'Farrell waa apprehending an attack from the Indians that night, and the condition of his men fairly dis heartened him. He saw at a glonco that even a small band of savages could make a successful raid on hi camp, consequently the sober and less Intoxicated mea were kept on the alert all night Fortunately, uo Indians put In an appearance, and by morning tlw debauched men bad slept off their In toxication. Thus the gap In the mountains where the camp was mado received the name of Whisky Gap. For many years It was the favorite camping place for the more credulous of the old freighters and emigrants of the "trail days," but the little spring was never a "fountain of youth" as It had been 1b the old days, when "firewater" gushed up out of the rocks to qtieuch the thirst of a company of United States soldiers.
