To-day Idaho Spring» will dedicate
a monument to the man who first
found gold in the Rocky mountains.
George Jackson is dead and beyond
the reach of the honor paid his mem
ory. He died several years ago in an
obscure corner of tho State where he
was making a fresh try at fortune,
trying again in old age to find for
himself enough gold to remove him
from the necessity to keep up the
search. Independent and self-reliant
to the end as he had been when fifty
years ago be was living on the natur
al food of tbe country and making his
home under .the stars, hs who had
pointed the way for many men to bo-
come millionaires through mining
gold, lived and died with empty pock
et#.
The day George Jackson found the
first gold In the land out of which a
great State waa to be reared because
of h'is find, he was most interested in
the fact that he had found some dig
gings where he (George Jackson) was
going to make a fortune if he could
and that he had killed a mountain
sheep which would help out his di
minishing sppply of ‘'States” grub un
til he could get back to where he
could get more of the same. His chief
concern right then was .the fact that
his dogs, “ Drum” and “ Kit,” bad been
worsted In a fight with a carcajou and
were too lame to travel. There wasn't
much In all that to suggest thoughtf
of empire building or grestaea# Time
has taken ears of that and brought
It into psrspectiv# On his part It
was a simple act in tbe day’s work;
In the light of fifty years we are
ready to pay with our regard the debt
of obligation under which he placed
a Bute which eet np bualneea In his
footstep#
Time is jealous o f its large tasks.
It picks and tests the men it permits
to perform them. Most often It con
siders the privilege of doing them
sufficient reward. Jackson was per
mitted to find the gold; others were
forced to be content with merely min-
ing it. Tbe others grew, rich; Jack-
son had been marked for a blaxer of
trails, a Searcher. So he died poor in
the midst of tho rich field he had
■own; died as he had lived a poor
prospector doing the work Time had
picked him to do. He lett to the fu
ture only a memory, but that will live
on long after those who were privi
leged only to harvest in his flsld will
have been forgotten. It is s way Time
has of evening up the score.— Denver
