Leonard Traynor, my chum

One night, as. ,we slept under

and I told it to Leonard. Rigl
off the bat .he says:
“L et’s go out and try oi

here anyhow."
In myz dream I Imagined ray*

my dad had been working some
claims for several years.

Our provisions were might?

some grub and jre got o a t ' t

W e were both d
broke and all we could aff<
was some bologna and cheese s i

I want to tell you.
We got to Weepah fin ally and

at the edge .Of an old badger
hole. I remembered my father
saying that several of Nevada's
biggest gold strikes had\been
mads by a badger and thataiomc
prospector had come alongf later
and taken all. the credit for the
strike. I guess that's wbat hap-

We panned the rock about the
badger hole and got some nice

We kept on
digging and the ore started to

It was
pretty good looking stuff, but it
was not until we had dug several
feet that we made the real strike.
