Moore had found the Indian badly wounded and on the verge of death, and had given him water and took him back to the fort, where he was nursed back to health. Ever grateful to Captain Moore, the Indian gave him several "pretty rocks" which Moore quickly recognized as being rich in copper. The Indian had been found the pretty rocks on the upper slope of Baldy Mountain (12,441 feet) on the Western edge of the Maxwell Land Grant. Later, the Indian agreed to lead Captain Moore and his partner, William Kroenig to the source of the pretty rocks at a spot high on the majestic mountain, where they found enough copper to stake the first of many claims in the area.
