Randsburg, continued...

In accordance with their agreement, Burcham signed half of his one-third share in the new venture over to Dr. Burcham. 

As enthusiastic as she was about The Rand, she warned her husband not to sell the claim to the first developer to come along.  She was aware of the fact that many prospectors had, in the past, sold out too quickly - winding up with next to nothing in comparison to the fortunes extracted from the claims by the developers.

Had Doctor Burcham been aware of what was happening at the site at that time, she would have been appalled.

To be continued.
