EDITORS NOTE: There is a rather lengthy discussion in Lewis Breyfogle's work surround stories that Jacob was the person who found and lost the Brefogle Gold Mine. Lewis reaches the conclusion that there may be something to the story of a gold mine find, but that it is not the Charles C. lost mine. Refer to the Lewis Breyfogle work for a complete discussion of this, pages 31 and 32.
