On the morning the prospector
made his start, going blindly, as it
were-for the little information he
had received from the Indians was
as discouraging as it was limited;
tlicy had hoped, up to the last minute,
to change his course, hut they savr
at last that he was determined, and
they parted with him as though they
were about to bury him. They
watched him out of sight in nn east
erly direction, then an old man told
them that there was one Gringo less
in tho world. Then they started at
once to break camp, as they always
do after they bury a relative or
friend.
The sun had disappeared some time
and the western horizon hail grown
purple when th- prospector reached a
spring the only one which was
known in the dir-ct'on he had taken.
He had to leave his course n long
distance to the south to reach it,
though it brought him well out into
the desert. The water oozed out of

l'lu in '.: time ii;ij. saw the same
experience y-ied. The man went as

camp the so mo nivht. each day taking

with the same resultuo sign of
water, li'il in his travels hp picked

t.c had to t;.k.' a luirro, audulso cases
to pack and mark each specimen,
ibis In- ciiiitina.-d doing for four or
live days, changing burros every day,
without discovering where the rich
rock came from, although he got
'prospects from other kinds.
Then he determined to push further
Muith, nod to g, ns far iu a day as
he could, with the hope of locating
water. Jf not successful, his gallon
rniitttcn full would not allow him to
suffer much in two days. He took
only the provisions for two days, his
gallon canteen full of water and his
Kix-shooter.
lie was able to cover 40 miles a
day, and he knew- he must have done
this, though handicapped by the
weight he carried, and the fine sand
that otlered no resistance.
The country In- traveled over was
all the same rolling sand and cactus.
But as evening approached he could
ace on the horizon a smoky blue
ridge rising out of the sand. It waa
20 or 30 miles away, but there might L

lie knew no time i- e 1 he wasted in'
making the return t:!p. It was a'
two-day's journey; had a scant
one-day's water mi; ; y, and he was
rery weak. lie sta. ed around the'
i hill to get his bearia. -.s for camp. He
ooticed pieces of (pi." r-looking brown
'rock, and through force of habit he'
picked up a speciuii ri to examine as'
be went. It was ii imposed quartz
and it crumbled in his hand. He
'picked up another and another; they-
I were the same. Jfow the brown
chunks on the gro -ud seemed yellow
to him. He pie!; d one up. It not!
only looked yellow it appeared very,
heavy. He tried others; all wore the
' itmc. i
Waa he dream:. i.;? Or going mad?
He feared the I .tter. He dropped
the last piece !.. had picked up and

Ling his eyes, .'ie sat down In his
excited conditio.! nnd tried to calm
himself. He h.. -d out over the des

color; he took .. little water; every
thing seemed real; then he went
back. He wn: either dreaming nor
going mad. il . ,ts real! The ground
for a space ai. it two feet wide and
several yards : ng was covered with
nuggets of i shapes and sizes..
Some had ti :1 dark brown quartz
, Attached, and .all jvgre, embedded In
a ledge of honeycombed, decom
posed brown quartz, with a black
malachite na k on both walls. He
took his can -en from his shoulder
nnd laid it r.-fully down while he
Inspected I.i. iiiid. lie became ex
cited again a n picking up the nug
gets, and shifting his position
gave the i leen a kick which set
it en its i- ni l edge. In a flash ho
reali'ed v. 1 : i he had ib'tie.
As t!." ,- e'een started down the
hill lie liii- ' .' I after it, though cverv
H'cmi 1 i.i. wider the ga;- between
it ami his reaching hand, and every
time the canteen would strike the
hard, black bedrock with a thud it
was like a dagger struck at his heart,
lie followed it, hoping the tin would
nut give way, for there was not a
brush to check its Fpecd. Hut as
it struck the bottom his heart sank,
for it bounded high in tlio air with a
clear ring anil swerved from its
course, lie followed still in the )ipe
of saving a mouthful of the water
of which he hail been so careful a
few minutes before; when ho reached
it the can was dry in a little moist
sand where it was resting. He grew
weak as he thought how thirsty ho
was, and of the 21 hours of hard
traveling before he could reach wa
ter. While he could hear the churn
ing of the water in his canteen he
had not felt such thirst, but now he
shuddered to think of what this dis
uster meant.
Then he started around the hill to
get his bearing for camp. lie cared
nothing ior his discovery of a few
minutes before, although it was the
richest sight of virgin gold human
eyes ever rested upon; neither did
he care for food which he would not
he able to eat without something to
drink-. Tie took another look up the
hill nnd wondered if he would ever
see it again. As nearly as he could
he took hit- be : for ramp and
started. At ' e v . . 'o- : '( V.i-.
six-shooter lira j; ' j;: di-wii. ia..
unbuckling it, i : ' -.--v ii in a i'iy
gulch he was erociiai; at t".- tini"
and turned to see ho v far I e .in
from the hill. That cay was u lnt;g
one. He thought of every cool, re
freshing drink he had ever had. The
hot air he was breathing was whis
tling in his ears; he could not swal
low nor close his mouth, for he would
strangle for want of air. In this con
dition night found him, staggering
on, sliding hnck one-half of every
step in the s.ind nnd often falling;
he would imagine he could hear eoy
otes and see them a few yards away
on either hand, dodging from one
cactus to another, and keeping close
watch on him. Tn reality he had not
een a living thing since he left camp.
He kept on, staggering and falling;
he dared not stop. It was dark now.
He atumbled, fell heavily, and lay,
thinking to rest a moment. . Then
he tell asleep. He awoke while
dreaming that he waa resting In the
shtfde of some trees by running
stream; he did not realize for a mo
tent where he waa, but when he re
membered he jumped up and moved
on, ha knew not which way only to
be going. When he thought of his
direction with horror, he came back
to see from his tracks which way he
had been going when he felL
Ue got on his knees and made a
irele to find the tracks, for he could
tell nothing from the tracks where
he had lain in the sand. He made a
circle, but found no track; he made
a larger circle and examined every
part of the sand, with the same re
mit; he could not tell north, south,
east nor west.
He knew of the North star and
the Dipper, but he had never had
use for them before, and now every
star lookod alike to him. They
would brighten up, then fade away,
lie was becoming blind and he could
hear nothing but what seemed the
howling of coyotes and water run
ning. The coyotes seemed drawing
nearer, and the thought of his bare
bones lying on the desert in a few
hours started him to his feet. He
took the course he was facing. He
was very weak, and reeled as he went
in the direction of his discovery of
the morning before. That seemed to
net us a magnet, in his weak condi
tion. He thought now, in his suf
fering, of his Creator nnd of the
Hereafter. He had never given either
much thought before, but he knew
now he was facing them. Suddenly
he came upon his tracks and found
that he had been walking in a circle.
Then his last hope lied; he staggered,
tripped, fell heavily on his head nnd
lay unconscious.
When the man recovered conscious
ness he was lying on some brush
against a large granite bolder which
formed one side of a brush hut. On
the other side was the door, through
which could be seen pine trees whose
branches moved to and fro, giving a
purring music. The man tried to un
derstand what had happened, and
then marveled that he was still in the
body; he moved his limbs and traced
his features with his hand, trying to
recognize himself. While thus
thinking he heard voices speaking
Spanish outside. Then an old In
dian woman came in, looked at him
strangely, und asked in Spanish how
he was. He told her he felt well,
but the sound of his own voice fright
ened him, and he would say no more.
Later in the day an old and a young
man came into the place. They had
evidently been hunting all day. Prom
them the prospector learned of his
rescue.
A few months prior to the white
man's journey an Indian, named
Pinto, a Mexican outlaw, for whom
a large reward was offered, lived by
skirting the desert from one water
hole to another, and relieving pros
pectors of their provisions (and mis
eries), if he saw them first, through
the sights of his rifle. In this way
he had maintained himself for years,
until" Ee Ht'ZXtf the rich placers in
Alamo, for which discovery the Mex
ican government pardoned him his
crimes. The rush to the new placers
was great; Indians nnd Mexicans
were going from all quarters. I'into
had sent word to a friend at Yuma
to come to the mines. He described
the course his friend should take,
and how ho would recognizo the camp
when he reached it. It had n large
number of alamo (eottonwood) trees
in the gulch, which was surrounded
by mountains, from which the ocean
could be seen, about "10 miles away.
The man started from Yuma with
his wife, (laughter and young son.
They took n westerly direction, but
in a few days had lost their bearings
nnd drifted out in the desert. They
had packed plenty of water on their
burros, for they knew what to ex
Icct. Several days out of Yuma they
crossed tracks. They followed this
trail in its zig-zng career, then they
guessed the truth some one was lost
in the desert nnd they concluded to
follow hiin. They had not gone far
when they found the unconscious
man. In their own way they treated
him and gave him a little water at
regular intervals, then packed him on
a burro, changed their course to the
north, for they knew the country,
and on the fourth day they reached
the camp ia which the escaped fugi
tive heard their story. When the pa
tient was well enough they wanted
him to go to the new field with them;
he begged them to return with him,
nnd told them of the wonderful dis
covery and the good outfit which was
out on the desert somewhere. As the
prospector told of the nugget trail
two feet wide, the old man would
look at his wife and raise his shoul
ders slowly in a strange way. But
the prospector insisted; he tried in
every way to get them to return
with him. His persistence was the
' thing which would alter the'

At. Him. There was no cVok-h left the
prospector; he aceoaipanicd his res
cuers, and in the gold tb-hN he tried
to interest prospectors to go with
him; but when he told of the rich
ness of the find they would shrug
their shoulders nnd look Incredulous.
For several months the ninn who
lived this adventure prospected in
Alamo, in the hope of interesting. In
the desert- discovery, some prospect
or American, Mexican or Indian, he
cared not which but to no purpose.
He finally located a rich and exten
sive mine, known as the Silent Part
ner, on the north slope of the Santa
Tomas mountains. ' overlooking the
desert. He worked the mine for
years. But seldom did a day pass
that he did not sit for hours facing
tbe desert, thinking of that strange
find and its stranger loaa. Overland
