were beans well spent. and Bud did
not regret the raid on his grub-p pile. II
he could get half as much work for
what he fed the Mexicans he could

But how did this Indian happen 20

pardner had explained his acquisition.
Say. he must have deserted from his
company when they brought them
back from Moctezumai"
sMore'n likely" assented Bud. "HIe
amt talking much. but I notice he
keeps his eye out-they'd shoot him
for a deserter II they could ketch him.
I'd hate to see him go that way"
Well. II he's as good as this, let's

enthusiasm. I'm tell you. Bud. there's
something big coming of pretty soon
and ia like to stay around town n
little more n I could. I want to keen

"F'r instance?" suggested Hooker

was spending a good deal OF time In
town already.
"Well. there's this revolution. Sure

miners working at Fortuna. and they

besides, IT'S cheaper TO make a cut
twenty feet deep than II is 10 tunnel
or sink a shaft. Wait TIL We get To
that porphyry contact - then well
know where we're at"
IAN right" grumbled Bud; ~but
seems like we're a long time getting
there. What's the news downtown"
We'll, the fireworks have begun

an American mining man from down
that way and he told me that the fed.
erals marched out TO where the rebels
we're and then sat down and watched
them cross the river without firing on
them-some kind OF an understanding
between Bernardo Bravo and these
blackleg federals.
The only fighting there vas was
when a bunch OF twenty Yaquis got
away from their officers IN the rough
country and went after bernardo Bra
vo by their lonesome. That threw "A
big scare into him. too. but he man

As they came up the cut Amigo cult
