DUMB DICK'S PARD: 'LIZA JANE, THE GIRL MINER By E. L. Wheeler (author of the Deadwood Dick novels), this Western serial depicts Parson Jim Priggins's arrival in the mining country, where he encounters 'Liza Jane, a nineteen-year-old girl working gold claims alone in Dragon Gulch. The parson, recently departed from Vermont to visit his Uncle Colonel Hank Wetherill, is persuaded by 'Liza Jane to attend a wedding that evening at the Wetherill mansion. She agrees to guide him on two conditions: she may secretly explore the house during the ceremony, and Priggins must perform the marriage rite himself instead of Squire Hines. 'Liza Jane speaks of a mysterious phantom creature—Don Dragon, a scaled, winged monster ridden by a ghostly white figure—that haunts the gulch. The narrative follows their journey toward Pokerville as a storm approaches.
