Hard Luck Miner Sells Birthright for a Mess of Pottage
Ada Stott, dubbed the original hard luck miner in Quesnel, British Columbia, sold his claim for 160 dollars to a buyer who later profited by about 500000. Pat McKenna, a Chicago-born Irish policeman, helped Stott reach the Cariboo mining camp and, with Stott’s guidance, started a prospecting effort at Mightie Lake. The venture yielded gold nuggets and sustained pay, despite skeptics, with Ogden and Brackenna selling their share for 16000 and the mine ultimately producing around 600000 in gold.
