' tUEN curly in the spring of 1891, the famo of Crecde, of the Holy Moses mine, and of the riches to ho found in tho mountains round about was spreading over the Stato of Colorado and attracting some attention from prospectors and speculators, tho story came to n quiet little widow, Mrs. Keid Miller, living in tho town of Bedell. She was a native of Vienna, but had been in America for thirteen years, of which time live months had been passed in New York City, and the rest in I'uoblo, Alamosa, snd other towns of the Silver State. Mrs. Miller had during much of this time sup ported herself and her child, now a boy of six, chielly by cookiug and housework. She had heard over and over again the marvellous stories of quickly acquired wealth in the mining camps of the mountain region, and bad been waiting for some time to henr ot another it l ike that she might herself try her luck along with the rest who always rush to > rvcrv new town wllnrn Iimmrlimilio, f." I J .... ml speculation olfcr. The story of the Holy t Moses cnniu to liur as did tho signal to i tho Oklahoma boomers. She was ready to Mart instantly, regardless of lior own e poverty or tho future of the camp. With a sufficient bedding and camp kit for her- t self iinil boy, and no moru, she got on 1 the sled of a freighter with whom she p was aeipiainted who was bound up tho v valley with goods to the new Eldorado. h She was obliged to run in debt for her e transportation, but no prospector ever h took a grub stake with n lighter heart or t more eonlidenco of success than Mrs. i Miller hi accepting this loan. i The outfit with Mrs. Miller reached j Crecde on April 1st, 181)1. Creedo at o that time consisted of a few houses crowded into the deep an l narrow gulch I between Campbell and Mammoth Moon t tains. Theic was no street in the town i ?simply a trail let ween the houses, wide t enough for a freight team to pass t thmu;h. The gulch was full of snow and \ ice; one could tell that a stream was 1 theie only by hearing the roar of the 1 water beneath a deep covering of mixed I snow and ice. I Mrs. Miller looked over the camp just | once?it took her about half an hour t only to decide that she did not waut to f remain there. It was too crowded. If the camp was to grow it could grew in but one direction?down stream. A few i hundred viiiilsbi'lnw tlionmli i>f cln>n>!mi I the gulch suddenly expanded into a u widening valley that would atlord ample I building .spice (or a town. There were $ indeed, two liouseH daivti there already. I (.onirics Horn, a prospector, had huilt a little log cahiu there for headquarters, j and holt us & Hastings had opened a M saloon. Mrs. Miller determined to go ' down there and see svhat aho could do. * Luckily for her she met about this ' time a carpenter named Mahoney, whom I she had known when living in Bedell. r Mahoney asked her what she was going * to do, and she said she was going to 1 open a restaurant down below io sonic 1 way. Straightway Mahoney offered to ' build her a house for the business. "But I have no money," she said. v "That's all right. Pay mo when you H get it." Thereupon it was agreed that a v log house, 26x40 feet, should be erected I among the willows, not far from Pros- ^ pector Born's esbln^for the sum of .tl 10, ' to he paid whenever Mrs. Miller should ' it it. 1 Mahoney began work the next day J I A pi il 2), and built the house as promptly I f and substantially as he would have done I tin I the cash awaited tho last stroke of | 1 mi mois. i rue, n was not mucii ot ti ? -muse. There was no floor, for instance, t -Mid the door had no panels. Hut it was t good mining camp house, and Mrs. n Miller was greatly pleased with it. It had I !-liven three weeks to complete it. One i hardly knows whether to laugh or to shed tears when hearing Mrs. Miller tell 1 how she l>egan to run a restaurant in that cabin. j "My stove was very old and broken. . I'or a table I had an old door, obtained ? tip town. It was nailed on a short log 1 l wood set on end in the middle of the 1 loom. For chairs I had empty bo?es boxes and two or three blocks cut from log. I hail three plates, a tin cup for I <-'dlee, and enough knives aad forks to ( ; > with the plates. I had one kettljpand j frying pan, and thut's all Hut the 1 ire's did not care. They said: 'Just | .ve us what you have and it is all right.' | , l'hey were very kind to me." , Tier provisions, including bread, purchased on credit, had to he brought Irom , Del Norte, forty miles away, down the ( valley, at a cost of two cents a pound for freight. But she sold from seventy to , ? ? t * ' f- J i* ' * A one hundred meals a day for a good ma weeks at flfty cent* a meal, and the I gan to get ahead a little. The groci l >11 In were met promptly, and Mr. M Money got the $110 for hia work sooc than he had aotleipeted. Then a turn came In the tide.

There was no town there?notl ing but willows and creek bottom; tl land had not then been surveyed out f< a town, but Mrs. Miller guessed from ti lay of the laud that that would be good parcel of laud to tie to. The foe logs on each lot were laid together as fc Foundations for log houses, nod in a ruining camps such foundations are r< ipected as "improvements" sufficient, t jive title. Like improvements wor nude in the two lots adjoining lit cstuurant. Later in (July), having iltlc money to spare, she had each c lie Creede avenue foundations raised si ogs higher at a cost of ijtfili 50. Tliey laughed nt thai little Dutc woman," as they called me, for doinj hat, but I kuew what I was about," sh inys now. Then came the fall rush, and Mr? Miller, having no money, promised t >ay ijt-lO'i and got her four little logcul lis tinished. Then she rented her rei iiurant building to I). It.

Hhu had a bet to nitfit for tho business by this time, bui lie habitues of the restaurants abou itadison sipiure would have considered he place rather crude, nevertheless.

Then a street was laid out nex o the right of way, and thus Mrs. Mil or'n j>lot wiut to'luowi to tlCty f?i\t it lepth. This Ini>I been a benefit, how ver, for it made possible the building o i structure facing throe streets on wlm vere now plainly seen to he the most im inrtaut corners of the new city. Th< ;rowth of Crecde nt that time can be up ircciutvd only by those who saw oil-wel owns spring up in Pennsylvania, tin ush in Oklahoma, or some such enter rise. People were co;nin<r into c om >y th? hundred every day, and the rusl or lots to build on was indescribable. N<> sooner did Mrs. Miller tear awa ier cabins and set men to work building i foundation for the new business blocl ban a jumper, with a lawyer, came t dull her out of her property. To giv in idea of this woman's character let i aesnid that she asked the reporter not t< neution the jumper's name. ' i near n1111; mats enough, "'.she sunt riiis is how site bent liiiu: The man with his shyster tohl her Ik lad purchased the lots of the town coin lany, ami that she was only a squatter ml must vacate. She said she would ilc lothiug of the kind She knew he ights, and would stand by them. Th nun said he would bring workmen, am begin building. Mrs. Miller defied him lie came, however, as he had said h would, and the suoreiue loomeut of Mrs Mil cr's career in Creedc was at hand As I lie man and his shyster and men wit (licks and aires appeared, Mrs. Mille walked out with her boy by her side,am 1 revolver in her hand.

A howl of approval aroaa In anawai and the jumper* made ha*to to all "y through the crowd and sneak away. Mr*.
