Book Description

Excerpt from The Lost River While wandering among the mountains they met a veteran miner - Jarvis Metcalf - who had gone thither to look for a rich deposit Of gold. That which led him to make this venture was a paper given to him by an Old friend, named Covington, just before he died, which paper contained the drawing of three mountain peaks, with a short, winding stream at the base. Could these landmarks be found, there would be no trouble in locating the spot where the treasure was said to exist. The doubt in the whole matter lay in the fact that the miner who made the drawing and wrote Out the directions had been clouded in his mind most of the time, and it was probable that the whole thing was a freak of his twisted brain.
