While reading his Bible on Sunday, under some large pines a mile from camp, he became absorbed in thought and unconsciously Jjopped his book in such a way that it fell over a precipice about fifty feet high. Descending into the canon to recover it, Mr. White found it lying upward, open at the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter vii., while a large piece of rich quartz, which had been dislodged by its fall, lay on top, tearing a jagged hole in the seventh verse, so familiar to all Christians: “Ask, and it shall be knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Accepting this as a good omen, Mr. White searched and in a few moments succeeded in locating the ledge, which was oyer two feet in width and assays $225 on an average to the ton.
