Unlucky Mule Ended Miner’s Plunge to Fortune
Tom Pewert, southern California mulehandler, once relied on a stubborn mule named Old Sam to haul supplies 80 miles. When the mule balked on a steep canyon road, Pewert set fire to dry brush beneath the animal, fell into the gorge, and was injured. He later discovered a gold streak while climbing out, worth over 76,000 dollars. He bought Old Sam back after mining profits began.
