My strokes of fortune and my love affairs are all jumbled together," explained Blake, laughing heartily. Voull have a bad opinion of me, John, but I've reformed and am going to lead a better life. I made my first strike on the Utile Calaveras. Talk about luck! That wa3 a funny thing. I broke my neck and discovered a gold mine and a sweetheart in doing it! "Broke your neck? Surely youre Jesting! It's a fact, just the same, asserted Blake, thoughtfully rubbing the back of his neck, which showed no signs of fracture. "I was a greenhorn then, and my prospecting expeditions were the joke of the old stagers. I bought a horse and a Mexican saddle and prowled through all the mountains and foothills back of the Little Calaveras. One afternoon I was following a trail that skirted along the side of a mountain. There's a lot of woodchucks in those hills, and In burrowing around one of them loosened a rock, which came rolling down in my direction. My horse saw and heard It, and shied off the trail. He slid about twenty feet and then fell, and as he went my right foot went through the stirrup. He rolled over me, and we started down the slope. Sometimes I was on top, and sometimes he was on top. "Four or five hundred feet below I saw a thin row of trees, and I knew they marked the edge of a cliff. For some reason there's most always a fringe of trees at these jumping oil places. We were going like lightning. Just as we neared the edge the horse rolled over we again.

Here is the creek which you follow for seven miles until you come to the old Wormley trail. You take that to the cliffs, and go along the cliffs until you cross four brooks and come to the fifth one. You were within a hundred yards of that fifth stream, John. Now lets see the key to this thing. John handed him the letter. From the east face of the square rock, on the north bank of the brook, at the edge of the cliff read Blake. "I know the rock well. Lets see. Thence east along the bank of the brook In a straight line four hundred and twenty-twfeet, and then north feet to the at right angles, sixty-sevebase of the tallest pine in the neigh borhood.' Blake rushed to the door, forgetful of the storm, to verify his suspicions. He pushed it open an Inch, but a solid hank of snow blocked the way. "Where do you suppose the base of that pine tree is?" he demanded. Without waiting for a reply he found a hatchet and tapped the clay floor until he located a spot which gave a deadened sound. Then he chopped away a few Inches of packed dirt and sank the blade into a solid substance Theres the base of the big pine tree described by your dead sailor, and Ill bet my life on it, be shouted.

What Is more conclusive, this was by far the largest tree anywhere around. That's why I see located the cabin here. His eyes glis what comes next!" tened with excitement.
