E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Silver and Gold: A Story of Luck and Love in a Western Mining Camp" by Dane Coolidge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a rustic mining camp, capturing the rugged life of miners in the American West. It primarily revolves around Denver Russell, a young hobo miner who embarks on a quest for both silver and gold treasures, as well as navigating the complexities of love in a harsh environment. The opening of the novel introduces us to the mining camp of Pinal, where the protagonist, Denver Russell, is foretold by a fortune-teller to discover two treasures—silver and gold—hidden within the shadow of Apache Leap. As he arrives in the town and takes in its deserted structures, he is quickly encompassed by the dynamics between miners, such as the grizzled Bunker Hill and the enigmatic Professor Diffenderfer. The narrative sets up a backdrop of conflict, competition, and burgeoning alliances, all while hinting at personal challenges and possible treachery. Denver's journey is not only about seeking riches but also about navigating friendships and the potential for betrayal among fellow prospectors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
