You say you saw them nuggets,
They were rough, not glacier ground?
And the owner was almighty vague
About the place they were found?
*
He bought six dogs and some side packs
And a case of dynamite,
And drifted out toward the Brooks Range
Sometime late last night.
*
By Gawd, I bet he stuck it
Drilled right into the mother lode.
Come on, get your pack,
Let's hit the road.

The reason that the author of this piece is unknown is because it is the only one he ever wrote. I saw this several years ago. Arnie wrote this and did thinkhe foundhe "mother load" in "Alaska Pioneer Book", which I have a copy.
