Pick, figuring it had rolled down from the cliff above him, scrambled up the rock face, chipping off pieces of rock as he went: "It was all beautiful yellow-orange-colored ore." He staked out a claim and then, to save his feet, fashioned a crude raft to carry him downriver to civilization. The raft upset, dumped Pick...
