This is a story about a guy called Richard Wade, a would-be gold miner in California in the pioneering days. His mine is a quartz mine, yielding tiny amounts of gold. After two years of fruitless labor he receives notice that for family reasons he needs to go back East. He decides to do it on horseback and that is when his adventure begins...
"A few years ago I was working a gold-quartz mine in California. It was a worthless mine, under the conditions of that time. I had been dragged into it by the shifts and needs of California life. Destiny probably meant to teach me patience and self-possession in difficulty. So Destiny thrust me into a bitter bad business of quartz mining. If I had had countless dollars of capital to work my mine, or quicksilver for amalgamation as near and plenty as the snow on the Sierra Nevada, I might have done well enough...."
