The Cinnabar Mine Quest and the Lost Deed Mystery
Stanford Broughton, heir to a granddad’s vast estate, pursues a hidden mine and unrecorded deed after a vanished document threatens his claim. On a perilous trek from Placerville to Angels with Hiram Twombly and Jeanie, he confronts Bullerton, a wrecked pump, a brave dog, and a dangerous chase toward the old Cinnabar mine. The tale blends treasure fever, peril, and a coming of age amid a rugged frontier search.

Trail to the Haversack ends in mystery on Greaser Mountain
In a night trek from Robin Hood's Barn, a dog leads Daddy Hiram, Jeanie, and me to an abandoned mining claim called the Haversack. A tunnel, a boarded mouth, and a lone boot print raise fears of Jeanie’s fate, but the dog detects nothing further than a cave-in and a lost pony.

Cinnabar Showdown Ends With Bullerton Ordered Off
Daddy Hiram confronts Charley Bullerton at the Cinnabar doorway as Stan Bidwell and Bullerton clash over Jeanie’s note and the claim. A brutal exchange ends with Bullerton fleeing on horseback while Hiram declares a forthcoming strife, and the pair plan to move camp and gear to the shaft house.
Return to the Timber Edge for Rest and a Surprise
We camped after a tired night and planned an early hike home for breakfast. At dawn we reached the Cinnabar road and found a horse tethered by the Twombly cabin. On the cabin porch sat Bulberton calmly chewing a half-burned cigar, a shocking sight.
