voice.
Dave and I'll attend to that. You
hump on the Jackpot job. Sons,
we're rich, all three of us. Point is
to keep from losin' that crude on the
prairie"
Jackpot Number Three had come
in with roar that shook the earth
for half mile. Deep below the sur
face there was hiss and a crackle,
the shock of rending strata giving
way to the pressure of the oil pool.
Kicks. clay and sand weer hurled
into the air, to come down in a
shower that bombarded everything
within radius of several hundred
| yards.
With the first faint streaks of day
men came galloping across the desert
to the Jackpot. They came at first
on horseback, singly and later by
twos and threes. A blackboard APP
| peared on the horizon, the driver
leaning forward as he urged on his
team.
There was an immediate stampede
to make locations in the territory adj
jacent. The wildcatter gourished
Companies were formed in ten min
utes and the stock subscribed for in
half an hour. From the bootblack at
the hotel to the banker, everybody
wanted stock in every company drill
ing within reasonable distance of
Jackpot Number Three.
Meanwhile the oil boiled up in the
lake and flowed over its edges in
streams. As soon as the second
reservoir was ready the tarry stuff
was siphoned into it from the
original sumphole. By the time
this was full third pool was fin
ished, and into it the overflow was
diverted. But in spite of the great
effort made to save the product Of
the gusher, the sands absorbed many
thousands of dollars worth of pc
troleum.
This end of the work was under
the direction of Bob Hart. For ten
days he did not take off his clothes.
When he slept it was in cat maps, an
hour snatched now and again from.
the fight with the rising tide of
wealth that threatened to engulf its
owners. He was unshayen, un-
bathed, his clothes Shiny with tar
and grease.
At the other end Jed Burns COM
manded. One after another he tried
all the devices he had known to sue
coed in Gaping or hecking other
gushers. The flow was SO continu-
GUS and powerful that none of these
were effective.
