frontier mines, 1t was nothing but q
hole in the ground. was matter stu
to be settled. And Bud. for one. was
determined to settle 1t quickly.
"Come on" he said. a. Phil hesl-
tated to open up the way to the lead:
I'VE got month, maybe less. to get to
the bottom of this; and then the hills
will be lousy with rebels. II they's

The original Eagle Tail tunnel had
been driven into the side Of steep
hill; 10 steep. in fact, that the loose
ehale stretched In long shoots from
the base Of the frowning porphyry

hills to the bottom of the canyon. On

ridge itself that Kruger had driven

been altered and covered with slid
Of rock. Il .4E. sI
Against this slide. in the days when
they were marking time, Bud and his
pardner had directed their energies,
throwing the loose stones aside. build.
ing up walls against the slip, and
clearing the way to the solid schist
There, somewhere beneath the tumble
of powder.riven rock, lay the ledge
which, II they found 1t, would make
them rich; and now with singlejach
and drill, they attacked the last huge
fragments, blasting them into pieces
and groveling deeper until they could
strike the contact, where the Dchist
and porphyry met and the gold speay
had spewed up between.
