The Secret Mining Pal is a recluse hermit going about with his silent burro. He meets
a lot of people in his treks but leaves no tracks behind.
His few friends are scattered all over history, in the mountains, deserts, valleys and
cities where he has lived and lives. His old friend Jim Ramsey and other old-timers
write him letters of "Greetings" telling him of the "goings on" and about "the
diggings" in the different states he spends time prospecting.
The "Greetings" letters have made Jake a household name, well known for his
