JULY 27, 1851.—Our claim is pretty nearly played out. There may be a month’s more work, but the
bed-rock raises up on each side of the flat along the
hill and there is no gravel in that direction. Pard thinks
we had better work together for a couple of weeks and
then he will go down on the river to get things ready,
leaving me to clean up. If we take out three thousand

invested with Pard at the Bay. He got a letter from
John Perry, his agent who is looking after the lots,
and he tells him he can double his money if he wants
to sell, but Pard says: ‘‘Let’s hold on and make a big
stake or nothing.”” One night last week after supper,
we were sitting out under the old tree, when he spoke
up suddenly and said: “Alf, there is no reason why
I should not tell you part of my story and my real
name. I[ am not ashamed of it and there is no reason
why I should conceal it.” Then he went on to say that
his true name was . . . . . . . and that he
was born at Syracuse, went through college, studied
law and practiced in his own town until he came here.
He did not build up much of a business and while he
was as poor as Job's off ox he married a girl who had
considerable money in her own right. He loved her
dearly, but she was extravagant, fond of society and
luxury, which he could not afford from his own income, and she would not settle down until he could
make his way. Then they began quarreling and she
nagged ‘him about her money and her family until he
could not stand it any longer and, the gold fever breaking out, he left for California. He made up his mind
never to go back until he had as much money as his
wife, and, if he failed, why then he would disappear for
good. She thought he was in San Francisco, wrote to
him there and the letters were forwarded by a friend to
Nevada. For some time past she has been coaxing

(Note.—While Jackson’s frank revelations concerning himself,
his experiences, loves and adventures can with safety be given to the
world, as he and his kin have vanished into the unknown, the name
that he reveals as the rightful one of his partner is another matter.
It is that of one who stood among the foremost at the San Francisco
Bar and high in the councils of the state; famous and successful as a
pleader in many of the noted cases before the courts, an orator of
persuasive eloquence and, withal, a man of fortune. He has been dead
many years, but his immediate descendants are living in California,
