Three times, Charles Alvord tried to find the spot where he'd found his gold streak. His remaining partner, Joe Clews (the only one who hadn't ridiculed Alvord) accompanied Alvord on Alvord's third and final attempt to locate the spot.
Telling Clews that the spot was in the vicinity of a "striped butte", near the group's campsite during the first expedition, the two men searched in vain.
After this, Charles Alvord appears to have been swallowed up by the mists of time. One legend has it that he was murdered. Whether this is true or not, his former partner, Joe Clews continued the search.
To be continued.
