"We always knew that we could trust you," Tom corrected him.
"Well, you know it now, anyway. You want to get back into the
world. You are restless for new fields to conquer. Go ahead;
only come back once in a while and shake hands with old Jim.
While you're away I'll send you a monthly statement of your earnings
and see that the money is placed to your credit."
On their ride to Dugout, Tom and Harry were favored with the company
of Mr. Dunlop, promoter of the Bright Hope Mine.
"I suppose it's a lucky thing for you boys that you stuck to your
own mine," said Dunlop. "you've come out a good deal better.
I wish I had secured your services, though. We're making some
money over at the Bright Hope, but we'd make a lot more with the
right engineers in charge. I'm on my way to Dugout to use the
telegraph wires in earnest. I've learned that the real way to
make money out of a mine is to have a real engineer in charge."
Tom and Harry delayed but a couple of hours at Dugout.
