 Jim Dancy is out Of the country now so ! might as well tell this one as it was related one evening b. prospector once the partner Of the educated Jim:
 He sho' was aee-high on formation, was Jim; an if he sed 'twln't no good v nights well pack v burrers an hike along. We was out n tin Needles country a good many years ago. and we sho was broke; had a been a-prospectin' thro' tn desert for bout fl months 'thout seein' a blessed soul less y take int c'nsid ration tn t'rant'lers an sich like. So, when we got t Needles even tn smelter smok was good ( us. Thar's a tay. ern J tn Needles, an it's tn bes there is. where a feller's all right I be ain't got a cent--an' did y ey'r notice CT think at it's because tn hO- tel keepers at keeps uT tn country an makes it go head, b'cause they'll stan a feller on s longs he keeps a. tryin'. an f he don't make a go O it theyI wipe it of tn slate We'll any how We stopped at th' hotel an turn- ed the burners loose in a corral an rested a few days Then [ got a job in tn smelteT runnin' tn ar tampin machines in the conyerters: an Jim he got neryious Finlly he sez he's a-goin' to take couple Of burners an strike out, fer me ( sf9y where was. lie was gone cuplr e weeks. but when he come back he had some samples O th' richest rock ever seen -twas jist all gOl' 'ith th quartz iist a-hangin on. l don't giniiy git eN cited but l did then. ] scd we'd start in tn moruin'. But Jim, he says fer me 7 keep my shirt on. at l was [ stay with my job in tn shelter He sCz sezze, Bill, yO'al Be p'uarcd hOl' tn sack this :-uia. th1ut any tot in of it. l got the stun alf right-but got mighty nigh all tn is of ( right here l do want v3' a-tall-what wants is a ieiler a-hahkeIir' fer a gol mine. No, she aint saltei, ner noyhin -on'y th' donation jist ain't there Some fel.e5 @ith ooGlcs dOueht might make m'ut out jheTe.-b"i he couldn't outer tn vein where ! got this, because she's a plain gash an don't go but a mite deeper'n 1 goI bfor' I quit an come in [ sell 'er.
 Wei. he found th' Teller that hank cred. all right, an th same feller ria straight up in tn air when he saw that hole an tn two foot O lousy quartz fillin' He had th' money, too an he paid Jim standin there on tn dump thout havin a minits work don. Then they got cut some mo samples. an come back ( tn Needles, an when they showed th' stun there was a stampede. Fer awhile there was B tig-tO-do cut there, an I guess they got a few hundred dollars b'fo' th thing pinched out as Jim said twould do. an then ev'rybody quit, so tn camps been quiet's funeral ever since. An'how Jim'n me had a nav ful time with ou' fl hundred apiece. We went C Los Angeles, an I do'no ncthin bout what happened after that till ! fins myse'f on tn train,
