Summary:

Sketch depicting three prospectors by a small stream, one figure kneeling as he pans for gold, another figure standing beside him as he waves his hat in the air and turns toward a third figure cooking over a small campfire. In the background horses and pack mules graze amid the dry sagebrush, and a small group of oil derricks are just barely visible on the horizon.
