The Romance of Lost Mines Across the Western World
A feature on legendary lost mines, tracing the Pegleg in California and Nevada to the Taiopa in Sonora. It recounts the 1853 discovery near a three-hill landmark, gray nuggets, and a parade of fortune seekers who vanished. The tale ends with Taiopa still unfound, awaiting another expedition.
