The Quicksilver Kid

Cliff Stone had learned early in his life that he had a gift with weapons, but little patience. He came to California in search of an uncle he had never met and rode into the middle of a vicious blood feud. His uncle, Henry Halleck, was head of the New Almaden quicksilver mine and a very important man in 1853 San Francisco politics. But Halleck had an enemy from the past that he did not remember, and the enemy was about refresh Halleck's memory with the business end of a six-gun. Cliff Stone joins up with his uncle and nearly gets himself killed when the gang beats him up, shoots him and leaves him for dead at the bottom of a quicksilver mine shaft...
