      Chapter 1 From Prospecting to Ranching

      Taylor Brown was thirsty. He had been a prospector for 10 years now with nothing to show for all of his hard work. His canteen was empty last night when he fell asleep on the desert sand from sheer exhaustion. Now it was morning and the heat of the day was just beginning. Yesterday he had shot his horse who had stumbled when he stepped in a hole that was probably made by a jack rabbit or prairie dog. He wasn’t sure what it would be since he had never wandered this far into Idaho before. So now he was riding his burro which was just able to carry his 160 pounds. He had hidden his prospecting tools about 20 miles back. The burro, whose name was Grey Beard, couldn’t carry him and the equipment both. He knew that the Snake River wasn’t very far away now but he had doubts about his and the burro’s ability to get there in the heat of the day with no water.

Taylor thought out loud I should have gone with my Indian friend. If I had a family I’d want to see them. Right now I’d trade all the gold in the world for a cold glass of water.

      By noon time Taylor could go no further. Even the burro was refusing to move so he sat down in the shade of a small butte and went right to sleep. He awoke in the middle of the afternoon. It was the hottest time of the day and his mouth was so dry that he couldn’t make a sound to call Grey Beard so he started looking around. He was 35 years old and not ready to die. He really hadn’t done much with his life so far. He had grown up on a cattle ranch but preferred prospecting for gold.

      When he heard noises from behind some rocks he checked it
