We know the names of the two gentleman: W. W. Wells is standing with his dog. The gentleman next to the mule is Jim Cushon. It'd be nice to report that for all of that effort - the Jacksons are rugged and difficult hiking - the two found a bit of gold. They weren't that lucky. Eldorado eluded them this trip. The gold, if there is any, is still in that rugged canyon. - Compiled by Barbara Powellnevadasdesertlegends.com.
