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

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,

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

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

HOW EDUCATION HAS IMPROVED RELIGION
BY PROFESSOR J. L. 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-
