The physician remained behind to take
care of Harry Hazelton, but Jim went fast toward Dugout City.
He was armed with letters from Dr. Scott that told certain dealers
in Dugout what unlimited credit the partners ought to have on
account of their mine.
Before Harry was sitting up vehicles had been employed to bring
to Ambition Mine considerable supplies of dynamite, food and all
else that was needed, including half a dozen of the latest books
for the amusement of the invalid engineer.
Everything went on swiftly now. More miners, too, were brought
over, while the hard crust lasted, and a score of carpenters.
Lumber camp also. There was a constant procession of vehicles
between Dugout and Ambition Mine. Tom did not hesitate to avail
himself of his sudden credit, for every day's work showed that
the vein was not giving out. An ore dump was piling up that meant
big returns when the ore could be hauled to the smelter.
Ambition Mine proved a steady "payer." No; our young men did
not become multi-millionaires.
