One day when Jack was in town, the stage drove up and deposited an old chum who had been his school mate in the east. They renewed friendship and became partners. They made trips together over the mountains in quest of gold, frequently remaining away weeks at a time. One of these trips seemed longer and more lonesome to the little wife, so she donned a suit of Jack's clothes and started on a prospecting tour. She stumbled onto a grizzly bear. She backed away fearing to disturb him. Failing to see a nearby precipice, she went down tumbling and rolling, until she reached the bottom. Getting on her feet she was about to start for home again when right before her lay the unmistakable sign of a paying claim, gold bearing quartz in abundance. Putting a few samples in her coat pocket she trudged along until she reached home. Wishing to surprise her husband when he comes home, she recorded the claim and had the ore assayed, but had not counted on a dishonest assayer, who told her the ore assayed only $30.00 to the ton instead of $3,000. He offered her $150 for her claim which was willingly accepted. She went with the assayer to show him the location of the claim and while away Jack and Will returned empty handed to the cabin. Kate was not there but they found the assay sheet on the table, showing $30.00 for each 2000 lbs. Thinking she might be in town, they dropped into the assayer's office. There they saw the entry under her name of $3,000 to the ton. Suspecting the truth they hurried out, informed the sheriff and started in pursuit to prevent the sale. They reached there just as Kate was about to sign the assignment. The sheriff took the assayer in charge. It was the biggest gold find the town had ever heard of, and happiness reigned ever after in the little family of gold seekers. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
