Many talus are related of various
discoveries and finds throughout the
Illinois valley, but the story of the
discovery of gold on Althouse creek
la one of the most interesting. John
Althouse, the discoverer was work­
ing on prospects in Canyon creek
without great success had sought In­
formation from the Indiana encamp­
ed at the foot of Eight DoHar Moun­
tain as to other possible sources of
gold. These Indians were not over
friendly to the whites who were now
usurping their empire, but were
probably more friendly to Althouse .
than to the others. lAt all events,
the Indiana had many beautiful nug­
gets but would not tell from whence \
they came, until one rainy and blus- j
tory night the old chief made a quiet |
call for Althouse, at his tent, and
told him he would lead him to the ,
source of the big nuggets. The trail '
led over flats, over creeks and by a '
lortupus route until after ascending
a creek leading straight toward the
heart of the Siaklyous, they stopped
at an elk pit. This pit was a deep I
hole'dug in the gravel of the stream
now stiown as Althouse creek, and
recovered with brush, designed to
entrap the elk as they crossed the
creek bed. But to John Althouse the
Interesting feature was not the Pit
but the pile of gravel thrown to one
side. The high waters and winter
rains had washed this out In a na­
tural hydraulic operation, leaving ex­
posed the big nuggest, orfe of which
the Indian picked up and handed
to Althouse. It goes wittout saying
that a claim was staked out right
there with no further delay, and the
maelstrom of gold trlenzied mlnen
shifted from the west bank of the
Illinois to the tributaries on the east
side. The Althouse strike was made
and millions of dollars were token
from the stream and from Sucker .
creek in the course of the next few |
years.
The first mansion to arise in the
wilderness of the Illinois valley 1n
the earliest days, was the log cabin
erected by James Kerby on hie dona-
lion claim, In the winter of 1852 and
’53. This bouse, the first permanent
home In the section, became the nu­
cleus for the first county seat of
Josephine county, as well, the town
of Kerbyville being founded there.
The next log cabin was one built by
William Sawyer in the winter of
1858 and '57, with lumber for fld-
lahtng at >80 per thousand.

since the stored water will be needed
for only the drouth period, or about
one-half the irrigation season, it
amounts to the same thing as double
the amount or sufficient for 6000
acres for the dry weeks in which the
need is felt.
