"Many persons are apparently under that impression, but the geological surveys of the government place it in the exact location I have given you." The "Old Miner, '49er," said: "We hunted most all o' our lives, lookin' for her! We called her the Mother Lode, because we thought that all the gold in the state must a' come from her an' washed down the rivers onto the bars where we found it.
We often see specimens of artists' work purporting to represent a "'49er" emigrant train on the overland journey some of them very clever; but seldom are they at all realistic to the man who was there.
He leaned against the post of the porch, lit his pipe, and looked away toward the hazy, hot horizon, and thought of old days that had been brought to his mind the day before, when he saw the parade of a Wild West show.
