THE GREAT PIKE'S PEAK RUSH

OR

TERRY IN THE NEW GOLD FIELDS

BY EDWIN L. SABIN

"These mountains are supposed to contain minerals, precious stones and gold and silver ore. It is but late that they have taken the name Rocky Mountains; by all the old travelers they are called the Shining Mountains, from an infinite number of crystal stones of an amazing size, with which they are covered, and which, when the sun shines full upon them, sparkle so as to be seen at a great distance."
