'Click of a ball In the roulette saucer.

silver dollars sufficient to make

"White Money" Ignored
But in those days of quick harvest
Inc of riches there 'was no time to
count "white money." Payday at the
mines brought the wealth-burdened
miners to the bars and the ramMlns"
tables. Lined up five deep before
the bars the customers would rain
cold pieces over the heads of those
before them. When a lull would
come in serving the bartenders would
rinjr up a few of the sold pieces pock
et a few and push a few here and
there before the hangers-on and
"cappers." None of the money ever
waa returned to the original owner
far who could tell whose money be
longed to whom?
- - One day the stage stopped before
the Ooldfleld hotel and a half dozen
i aesrroea stepped forth. They were
the new waiters for the Palm Garden.
Stale purchased or suborned from
the ranks of the best of the Pullman

v. The situation was that of all mln-
mg camps. The dives and the sa-
' loons were the public clubs; they were
no others for the miners the bar-
' tenders the lower clsss of gamblers
' and the proletariat of the camp. The
.S . hotel and the Palm Garden like the
-MoBtesnma club were for the hoi pol-
loi. The social line was sharply
' 4rawa to Just that degree and Just
( that only.
"Charlie" Ertus trusted to his
knowledge of the saloon business to
bring him wealth. He did not trust
In vain though he expended nearly
- I1M.S0O in buldlng Ms saloon and
s bringing ornate bar fixtures from San
. s Francisco. A huge safe second larg-
' est in Ooldfleld. was the repository
for all surplus funds for his patrons.
Hence his saloon came to be known
v as "The Bank" and the title was rec-
v ogrased officially by Evans.
