Description: Chandler writes on his interest in mining claims around Virginia City and Alpha. He writes that “fortune has seemed to frown on all my undertakings until the last few months” but now “I can realize more money from my last years work than I ever expected to have.” Chandler also writes that he visited a fortune teller who told him that he is “to hear of the death of a male relation soon.” Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Changing Luck.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
