"The Golden Spider" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around three college friends—Dick Maxwell, Larry Donovan, and Charles Purdick—who embark on a summer prospecting trip with the hopes of discovering rare metals in the Hophra Mountains. As they prepare for their adventure, they learn about the legend of a lost gold mine called "The Golden Spider," adding an intriguing element of mystery to their expedition. At the start of the tale, the three friends anxiously wait in a bank office for Dick's uncle, who is going to send them on their prospecting journey. They discuss their plans and the excitement of being in the great outdoors, fully aware that time is against them as they wait. Once they finally set off, the boys quickly face unexpected challenges, including brushes with thieves interested in the legendary mine, awkward encounters with strangers, and the harsh realities of wilderness survival. As they venture further into the mountains, they must learn to navigate danger, both from the elements and from others who might hinder their quest for gold. The opening sets the stage for an adventure filled with suspense, camaraderie, and a search for fortune.
