In Silver City during the 1860s a colony of mountain rats shelter in miners cabins. Narratives recount rats hauling sticks for nests and food storage, encounters with a pet rattler, and a bear scare involving Scotch Dan and a derailed camp. The anecdotes mix humor and danger of frontier life in the Nevada mining era.
A hunting party misidentifies a donkey as a wild beast near Dan's camp. Gunfire breaks out, but the old jackass, long ailing, lies across the sleeping man. The animal rolled down a ravine, tearing the tent and revealing the truth as the crew hauls it away.
