SEARCH FOR INDIAN'S LOST COLD MINE
The Wallowa Sun tells the following
lntcreHtlng sory of the recent search
for a gold mine reputed to have been
found by the Indians In Wallowa
county mountains yenrs ago:
In the local columns the reader
will find mention of the fact that T.
B. Eurly and Red Thunder of Spo
kane have been In the county, says the
Pun. Their vlHlt recalls to the minds
of many of the old settlers the. days
.of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces
and the many wonderful stories of the
famous Indian gold lead.
More than 30 years ago, according
to the story of Stout Kl-yl, one of the
oldest Indians and for years u friend
of the whites, the gold was discover
ed by an Indian hunter who had crip
pled a deer and purxued It over rough
ground Into what Is now known as
Wilson basin.
The ore was decomposed quartz and
was readily broken off by the Indl'
ens, who kept the secret of Its loca
tlon as long as they were In the val
ley, refusing to even take a horse to
the place after the coming of the
white man.
For 20 years they gathered the yel
low ore and carried It to Pendleton,
Lewlston, The Dalles and other places,
where they bartered It for the many
baubles with which the white man de
lighted the eye and robbed the purse
of the simple child of nature. Ac
cording to all reports, the ore was fab
ulously rich. "It was heap yaller and
alle-same rotton wood." says Stout-kl.
Many white mfn have hunted for
the famout lead, but hare been un
able to locate It. The nearest loca
tion they are able to trace Is Wilson
basin, where some of the best mines
of the county aro located. This con
clusion was reached 24 years ago,
when the Indians carried one of their
number out of the mountains and
sent to Josoph for a doctor to treat
the wounds after he had been chewed
UP by a grizzly.
John Henry Wilson and others fol
lowed the trail of the Indians back
and found the lake where the grizzly
had chewed up the Indian. The In
dl.in had caught some fish and killed
a deer," and It was to got these that
th grizzly attacked him. I
Time and again the white man has
tried to bribe the 'Indian to tell where
the lead Is to be found, but old Chief
Joseph had promised a speedy and
horrible death to the Indian who ever
dlrclosed the location of the lead, and
the Indians feared and obeyed -him.
rtut two years ago the great chief
tain died and the fear of his wrath
passed away, and last spring his
nephew. Red Thunder, lid Mr Knrly
up the mountain from Lostlne In. an
attempt to locate the lead, but the
srwiwvas too deep and they could not
reach It.
The object of their trip was dis
closed and many of the old prospect
ors remembered the famous old In
dian lead. The return of this nephew
of the distinguished old warrior has
started the Interest anew.
Old Stout Kl-yi has often prom
ised to show the way to the famous
lead, but the fear of his dreaded
chieftain has held him back, and now
that the chief Is dead Stout ,Kl-yl Is
blind and cannot lead 'the way to the
famous old place.
It is, probable that Mr. Early will
be the fortunate heir to the secret
that Chief Joseph held so long for the
benefit of his tribe. However, several
other claims have been staked In Wll
son basin with a view of covering the
lead should It ever be found, and It
Is not Improbable that some of the
claims already located will overlap the
famous old Indian mine.
The friendship of old Stout Kl-yl
for the whites Is an Interesting bit
of history. Years ago, before the Nez
Perce war, the old Indian suffered
Intense pain from having stepped on
a nail, and John Henry Wilson ban
daged his foot and cared for him. "
This won his love, and when the
Nez Perces started to fight for the
Wallowa valley he refused to assist
them. He had 200 war ponies and
they took the ponies to win him over;
but he remained true.
Then the Indians took his son, but
still his friendship for the whites wtu
true, and when he learned the date
and place of the attack he warned his
friends and they fled the valley.
In the Grand Honde valley they ral
lied a force and returned. The Indi
ans saw them and taking them for sol
diers fled and made their attack In
the nelghborhhood of White Bird,
Idaho. Old Stout Kl-yl lost all but
a dozen of his ponies and won the
hatred of his tribe.
He remained true to the whites, but
always feared his old chieftain, al
though he would not admit it. He
often laughed about the threats of
Chief Joseph and promised to show
fhe way to the lost mine, but he al
ways failed to do so, and now that
his sight Is gone he will never betray
the secret. That work Is left fori
younger members of the tribe.
