They hesitated at no atrocity necessary to accomplish their guilty designs.Murder with them was resorted to as the most available means of concealing robbery, and the two crimes were generally coincident. The country,filled with canons, gulches, and mountain passes, was especially adapted to their purposes,and the unpeopled distances between mining camps afforded ample opportunity for carrying them into execution. "Pack trains and companies,stage coaches and express messengers, were as much exposed as the solitary traveller, and often selectedas objects of attack. Miners, who had spent months of hard labor in the placers in the accumulationof a few hundreds of dollars, were never heard of after they left the mines to return to their distant homes. Men were daily and nightlyrobbed and murdered in the camps. There was no limit to this system of organized brigandage. CHAPTER I— Spanish Intrigues. CHAPTEK II.— Louisiana Purchase.
