Despite the snow that fell that night, despite the near approach of / Christmas, old Jim's discovery aroused a great excitement in the camp. / That very evening the news was known throughout all Borealis, and all / next day, in the driving storm, the hill was visited, the ledge was / viewed, and the topic was discussed at length in all its amazing / features.
Teamsters, miners, loiterers -- all, even including the gambler -- came to / pay their homage at the hiding-place of one of Mammon's family. All / the mountain-side was taken up in claims. The calmest man in all the / hills was Jim himself.
