TRAILER VAGABOND BY WARREN BAYLEY \ ir^tiila City, \ovinia p\ir ten long years gold miners and prospectors of this neighborhood walked daily and hourly over a str p of ground beneath whieh lay flic richest mass of silver ore the W';rl : has ever seen. They bu It houses on it an l roads over it and mined gold on either side of it, never dreaming that the billion dollar Comstock I.od • lay within their grasp Gold had been worked here sin< the days of '49. The only rich discovery made was immediately lost because of the deaths of the men woo found it. Then, in lfi56. a lazy, Canadian hunter-trader named Henry Comstock wandered in to prospect. He found little gold. But when other miners discovered rieh gold deposits in Six Mile Canyon, naming their f n 1 the Oiphir Diggings, Comstock h ippened to hold claim to the only available water supply with which to work the claim. He was cut in for a share that eventually ran into millions in silver. Ignored was the strip of dark | ground along the middle of the Orphir Diggings. The mep were interested in gold and knew little about 1 any other metal. But in June of '59 I a man with curiosity gathered a sack of black rocks from the strip ami ha I it assayed. His afternoon’s work netted him $500 and started the “rush to Washoe.” That ore was found to be one third silver. The spring of 1H69 brought a ttemendc.us back-wash of forty-niners

For twelve years a dozen smart bonanzas along the Ixrle were worked with profit. Then came the b'g iscovery, the one that made the Comstock famous and produced 5700.000 000 in silver alone since. A single week's run of one local mi l turned out sixteen tons of bullion valued at ovei a million dollars. The newly established Federal mint ?t Carson City was swamped. Suddenly rich miners shod their horses with silver shoes. Palatial homes went up with silver use 1 wherever metal was needed. For tunes were made between dawn ana dusk. Evicted from his hotel over an unpaid board bill one day, the now famous Lucky Baldwin was welcomed back a millionaire the next. From the maze of shaf j and drifts beneath the town poured a stream of silver that nearly upset the economic stability of the world. The irony of the situation is that the Comstock Lode enriched Henry Comstock and immortalized his name, when he actually had no real jj claim to the wealth and honor.
