1 m SEARCH. By CHAIiLEo E. LEWIS (M. QUAD'. [Copyright, 1885, l>y Charles B. Lewis.] 1 was rea'linj? nn urtielo in a newspaper the otie r day to the effect that a man named Holcomb was organizing a party at Laramie City, Wy., to start out next spring in search of “Gordon’s Find.” If the expedition gets away, it will be one out of fifty which have had the same object in view, and the result will probably be just as disappointing. More hardships have been endured, more money spent and more lives lost in searching for “Gordon’s Find” than in any other treasure hunt entered upon in America. It had its beginning iu the year 185-1, but when it will end no one knows. In the year named a party of I hunters and trappers located on the j

Clear Fork of the Powder river, in the 300 lni i es nrr iv,>d at the junction of the foothills of the Big Horn mountains, Gray Bull and Big Horn rivers on the near the present sight of Fort Phil Kear- 11th of Juno.

He at length arrived at a valley discovered. Each man carried a load of hidden away in the heart of the range, | 30 pounds, and it was expected that the and here was located the village of the ■ tr j p np and bac k would occupy at least tribe. There were only about 150 people 15 days.

In year 1801 there was organized j at Virginia City what is known as ! “Captain Frayuo’s gold hunters.” Frnyne was a California prospector and miner. Gordon was then living in Sac- | ramento. While ho refused to join the j expedition, ho gave Frayne all the iu- : formation ho could and more than ho had ever given anybody else. Tho two ; made a rough map of the mountain, and when Frayne had gathered all tho details of the throe weeks’ wandering ho felt sure he could find the basin. He proposed to reach the crest of tho mountain and then follow every stream downward. In this way ho ought to come to tho waterfall. He formed a stock company limited to 20 men Each man was to furnish his arms and other equipments and pay into tho treasury the sum of $50. The $1,000 thus raised was to bo expended for pack mules, provisions, extra ammunition and camp equipage. We got away from Virginia City on the 10th of May, and after a tramp of

the last remnant of a portion of Arickarees who had broken away from tho tribe several years before 500 strong. Smallpox bail reduced them to tho num-

ber stated.

The hunter was treated more as a guest than a prisoner. Indeed the In dians made him understand that their only object in taking him prisoner was to secure a remedy for the dread disease. They had heard that all white men were

" . if •

I was with tho party of four headed by Frayne himself. We kept our course by compass, and as we toiled upward wo not only noted down all prominent landmarks on a ropgb map. but blazed the trees and left other evidences of our liassage. Nothing Gordon had given the captain was of any benefit to us, because ho had been all wrong in most everything. Wandering about as he did, hungering and thirsting and in great mental excitement, bis observations were not to be depended on in the least. We found many streams where ho had said there was none, and wo found valley after valley which he had not spoken of. 1 At noon on the littii day, after some terribly hard climbing and many danger I ous descents, we suddenly came out on a bare and rocky shelf from whence wo

discovery, but eaeh one was to make his

way alone.

When we set out that morning, I had Captain Frayne on my right and a man j name Sanlsbury on my left I had a pocket compass, as did all others, but j owing to the obstructions I found it j impossible to always bead to the j west, A deep ravine would turn me north or south for an hour at a time, j and after a very hard day’s work 1 do not believe I had made above I eight miles iu a straignt lino from our starting point. When night came, 1 built a fire made a cup of coffee and ! rolled up iu my blankets, and tbe sun was half an hour high when I awoke. When I made my start in the morniifg, I discovered that my compass was out of order and not to be depended on. Being on the western slope, 1 thought tho lay of the ground and the position of the sun would guide me, but in less tlnui hour and before 1 accomplished two miles 1 realized that 1 was all turned around. Then I signaled, as 1 should have done at the outset, but the reports of my rifle were not answered. In the six days iu which 1 wandered about on tbe mountain 1 followed three other streams wHh'.u* result. 1 must have headed toward all points of tho compass, but more to the south than any other direction. When 1 finally struck No Wood river, 1 was 20 miles above our camp, and 1 was later by two days than any other man. We had lost one more of our number by the accidental discharge of his rifle, and nothing like a waterfall had been discovered by any one. Frayne was for having another try at it, and four men agreed to go with him. The rest of us were so footsore uud used up that we could barely move about. Of tho five men, only one returned. He came back on tho eleventh day almost dead of hunger uud his cloth-1 ing iu tatters. He had become separated | from tho others on the fifth day, and it was only by chance, after wandering at | random for six days more, that ho came I upon landmarks which guided him to j camp. The tato of tho others is still a ! mystery. The search for them was not given up for three mouths, but no trace of them was ever found. They may have become bewildered and perished of hunger, or they may have been buried under a landslide or fallen into some of

tho ravines.

He was without a weapon, almost starving and had little hopes of ever seeing a white man's face again, but he forgot everything in his greed for gold. He remained by the basin the best part of two days. Ho took from it, according to bis story, above 300 pounds of nuggets, ninny of which weighed a pound apiece, and tho supply was by no means exhausted. lie buried the gold j beside a rock a few yards from tho basin, : but he carried away with him six pounds j

That was tho beginning of the hunt for “Gordon’s Find,” as it was termed. He had had enough of it and nevt r headed a second party, but there has not been a year since without its expedition. In the year 1857 a party beaded by Colonel Uyor and consisting of 24 men entered the mountains by lollow ing up the Big Horn and No Wood rivcrs. After six weeks of searching those men found tho Indian village. .Smallpox had broken out again, and of the seven or light men exposed five died ami were buried in the hills, and twoothers were aLandomd to die alone. One mini was killed by a bear, another by a fall over a precipice, and a third was losi and never heard of again. Thus nearly half the party was wiped out, and after a search lasting 13 weeks the others gave up all hope. Between 1857 and 1800 three or four searching parties, consisting of four or i

We found a fourth man terribly ill from eating poisonous berries, and six hourv after the parties had reunited he died in great agony. Out of our 17 men wo had thus lost live.
