© 2009 (Jim Sularz) Quiet mounds of yellowed tailings and dead weeds whisper low. And proud rusting relics telling tales of striking gold. The rush from East, from North and South, by wagon, train or foot. Days not all that long ago, in tall ships made of wood. “A gold rush struck in ’49, all quite by accident. A burning fever that cut men to bone, in a sea of dingy tents. Day and night, they toiled and told, many headed home without a cent. But some packed out bags of glistening gold, and made a stop at Buzzard’s Breath. The town’s mud logged street, deep with horse manure, bubbled like a shallow grave. With a Sheriff’s office, a livery stable, and a church for souls to save. And a fancy house, on a grassy knoll – sign read, “Madam Lil la Tart”. With soft, curvaceous ladies who mined for hearts – and gold of a different sort. Didn’t take long before easy gold, was extremely hard to find. And burly miners, tough as steel, moved in to hard rock mine. With bloodied knuckles, dented hats, they blasted at a furious pace. To find the gold, called the mother lode, yellow blood coursing through their veins! The mine they worked was called “Long Shot”, the men thought that name a curse. But the miners hankered for the handle, “Buzzard’s Breath”, and the mine’s name was reversed. As luck would say, they held a royal flush, when they hit that horse-wide vein. Of the purest gold, yet to be found, this side of the Pearly Gates. Eyes wide as saucers, they were all in awe, everyone was filthy rich. The miners should have all retired and should have cashed in all their chips. But a man’s hard to figure, when his blood is yellow, and he’s stricken with a gold fever. “Eureka! boys, git the dynamite and a whole lot more mining timbers!” They mined that vein to the bowels of the earth, and the heat increased by day. Buzzard’s Breath became the hottest place, to Hell – the shortest way. And then one day, the men never came back. – Hell must have jumped that claim. Of the purest gold, yet to be found – that’s where the Devil mines today!” Quiet mounds of yellowed tailings and dead weeds whisper low. And proud rusting relics telling tales of striking gold. The rush from East, from North and South, died a slow and quiet death. Along with days of tall wooden ships, and the ghosts of Buzzard’s Breath.
