Gid Holt Goes Prospecting.

Gid Holt Goes Prospecting.
AS soon as Selfridge reached Kamat-
lab he began arranging the stage
against the arrival of the government
agent. His preparations were elab-
crate and thorough. A young engineer
named Rowland had been in charge Of
the development work, but Wally re-
arranged his forces so as to let each
dummy entryman handle the claim en-
tered in his name. One or two men
about whom he was doubtful he dis
charged and hurried out Of the camp.
The company boarding house became
a restaurant, above which was sus-
pended a newly painted sign with the
legend, "San Francisco Grill, J. Glynn,
Proprietor" The store also passed
temporarily into the hands of its mana
ger. Miners moved from the barracks
that had been built by Macdonald into
hastily constructed cabins on the in
dividual claims. Wally had always
fancied himself as stage manager for
amateur theatricals. Now he justified
his faith by Transforming Kamatlah
outwardly from company camp to
mushroom one settled by wandering
prospectors.
Gideon Holt alone was outside Of all
these activities and watched them with
suspicion. He was an old-timer, sly
but fearless, who hated Colby Macdon-
aid with a bitter jealousy that could
not be placated and he took no pains
to hide the fact. He had happened to
be in the vicinity prospecting when
Macdonald had rushed his entries.
Partly out Of mere perversity and part
ly by reason of native shrewdness, old
Holt had slipped in and located one Of
the best claims in the heart of the
group. Nor had he been moved by per-
suasion, threats, or tentative offers to
buy REIMBURSEMENT. He was obsti-
nate. He knew a good thing when he
had 1t, and be meant to sit tight.
The adherents Of the company might
charge that Holt was cracked in the
upper story, but none Of them denied
he was sharp as a street arab. He
guessed that all this preparation was
not for nothing. Kamatlah was being
dressed up to impress somebody who
would shortly arrive. The first .AeuEnt
