The original writing was prompted by the desire to describe the doings of, the then most conspicuous mining speculator, Shadrach S. Stevens. As this happened in September, 'seventy-seven, the author, Schmidt, and his assistant, Sallie Sparkles, decided to do a serio-comic story in which no word should be used unless it commenced with the letter "S"--P.
