This was the note that brought Bill
Bronson to the brink of Grizzly river
on a snow-driven day of October. In
his party were Kenly Lounsbury, his
nephew's fancee, Virginia, and
Bronson's cook, Vosper.
The weather, promising fair when
they had ridden out of Bradleyburg
into the forest, had turned cold. A
heavy snow blanketed the forest; a
snow that might have induced Bill
Bronson to turn back, except for two
things.
One was the promise that he had
given Virginia fremont to find her
lost lover--a man whom he dimly
recollected as having met several
years previously. The other was
that this trip into the wilderness
gave him one more chnace to look
for his fathers lost mine, somewhe re
beyond Grizzly river.
Bronson's father and man named
Rutherford had discovered this mine

and then no more could be learned
of them or their whereabouts till it
was verified that Rutherford had
crossed from Canada into the States
with the whole seasons gleanings of
gold, amounting to a vast sum. Be.

ton was that he had murdered the
elder Bronson and stolen the gold.
The trip from Bradleyburg to
Grizzly river had been an arduous
one. On the other side was cabin
which Bronson had erected as part of
the chain he used when trapping,

death. But beyond was comfort.
