Legend of Lewis Picton - about Alaska search for gold

My grandfather Owen Picton of Hiawatha, Kansas (was a son of Stephen Picton and a different Owen Picton) had a sister (Mary Hatch) who on her way to Alaska, stopped and visited the below cousin Lewis Picton at Spokane, WA who worked for the railroad as an engineer. The sister to my grandfather and her family were going to Alaska to prospect for gold. They made a rich gold strike but sold it cheap.
