Simon ignored this exchange. “So it’s like the way metal is attracted to a magnet, but gold is only attracted to itself,” he said thoughtfully. “But what does that tell you about where the gold might be on Superstition Mountain?”

Emmett jumped up and walked over to the survey map on the wall. With one finger, he traced an area on the right side of the map.

“Well, we know the location of some of the faults. We can compare those locations to the documented history of gold mining on the mountain, to the places where gold has actually been found. The Spanish discovered silver and gold ore in Arizona a few centuries ago, but the first evidence of mining on the mountain wasn’t until the 1800s.”

“Okay, okay,” Jack said impatiently. “So where’s the gold?”

Emmett continued to circle a peach-colored part of the map with his finger. “The most likely place is here. By Weaver’s Needle.”

Jack raced across the room, and Henry and Simon quickly followed. Even Aunt Kathy stood up, tilting her head to one side as she studied the map. They all clustered around Emmett, peering past his fingertip at a pale orange area that was densely covered in elevation lines.

“You think that’s where the gold is?” Simon asked.

Emmett nodded. “Listen: as I said before, I’m not convinced there’s any left. But if there is, I think it would be somewhere over here.” He paused, tapping his finger. “Most likely in one of these little hidden canyons.”
