Years ago somle prospector had sier.nwled the word "1'olson" oil a hoard from a packing i)ox and had fastened it to a stake by the edge of the spring. It was while resting in the sh:de of the roeks and the brush that Pickett saw, at few feet from him, the top of a rust-eaten hook projecting above the sand. He took hold of it, but it did not coie away easily, and, exerting his strength, lie Ulicovered an ancielt ox chain forty feet in length, the kind that is practically out of use now.
