^{Gold Rush}

John Jones arrived in Colorado in the gold rush of 1859. He was young, strong, ambitious and tenacious. He struck it rich, but he played cards and soon he was poor again.

For some time John worked on a farm. Then he hit the road again and went on prospecting for the elusive metal. This time John was out of luck and did not find wealth. Gold proved to be more a chimera for him this time.

John gave up all hope but he continued his desperate quest for riches. John never found gold. But, as luck would have it, he found silver. Soon he got rich again.

John moved into a large house in Denver. Things were looking up.

Disaster struck quite unexpectedly. Fire destroyed the city. John's house went up in flames.

A year later some remaining buildings were swept away by a severe flood.

But John had already left the city. Now he became a sheep rancher. He worked hard and the ranch was not far from Denver. Soon John prospered again.
