The Miners and the devils Orlo James Goodson

The Miners and the Devils "El Dorado" the lost City of Gold, the dream sought for by generations of treasure hunters all over Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. They have been searching for this city since 1492 when the story of the fabled city was first told to the Conquistadores by the natives. There are old mines everywhere, lost up the ravines and canyons of the western United States. The "Hard Luck Mine" is just such a mine. It has been dug deeper and deeper by each generation. Every one of them has been touched with the gold fever and an itching to get rich. With the value of gold and silver it's no wonder they catch the fever. Vast fortunes have been dug up over the years and the wealth is still coming up out of the earth even now, enough to tempt any man that has to work hard to earn a living. Sam and Joe are two such men, Brothers and Ranchers who happen to find themselves owning this old Spanish mine. It's there and has been there for over 300 years. It's known that some small amounts of gold have come out of this old mine. After all these years it's deep, very deep. Since the two brothers have acquired this mine, why shouldn't they take a look and see what there is to see? Who knows, they just might get lucky and find the mother lode. There are things deep in the Earth, some of which should never be dug up. Some of those things should never be set free.
