GAMBLING 70’s New Chicago of the 70's was a rip-roaring, high-spirited town boasting of two general stores, two hotels, a church, a school, a livery stable and a number of saloons and gambling houses. Many a poke of gold dust was won or lost on horse racing bets. The steadier strain of miners took out homesteads, sent East for their wives and settled down to carve a home out of the valley. Life was a gamble—many died or gave up and went else- where. Making a living and providing for a family was serious business. Only the sturdy and determined could withstand the sifting of the frontier life. Edwardsville, formerly Packer's Ranch, was growing but was still overshadowed by New Chi- cago. In 1870, the first cattle were brought into the valley. Mining was still important. The menace of troublesome Indians was lessened. Settlers could import more food and furniture now that the Civil War was ended.
