Couple Clings to Panamint Dream Mining in Ballarat Ghost Town
James L. Weston 42 and his wife Norma settle in Ballarat to hunt for gold in the Panamint Range. He keeps burros and plans for three canyons with a claim showing possible silver, while Norma paints desert scenes sold locally. They consult Ballarat owner Paul Jones and move on after confirming a gold seam, hoping to partner with experienced prospectors.
