A Denver duo followed a burro through the wilds to a magnetic stone that held their shoes and nearly pinned the horse to the ground. After freeing the burro with stoves and axes, they learned the animal led them toward a future mine before the burro disappeared east toward an unknown coast. The tale ends with the crowd's skepticism and a humorous mystery.
