"Listen to what they have to say," warned the senator's son. The party on the opposite ledge were now so close, and the air was so clear, that all which was said could be heard distinctly. "I thought sure we'd be able to locate some landmarks before this," growled Link Merwell. "Are you sure this is the right district, Blugg?" "This is where the Landslide Mine was supposed to be located.
It's buried deep an' fer good." "Let us hear what they have to tell," said Sol Blugg. "They may have news worth listenin' to, Ham." "I ain't goin' to waste no time lookin' fer thet lost mine," growled the rascal who had been shot. "I'm goin' back to town an' let a doctor look at this hand o' mine." "And I will go with you!" put in Job Haskers, eagerly. "I have had enough of the mountains!
The news concerning the expedition reached the ears of Sol Blugg and his cronies, and this, coupled with the sudden departure of Abe Blower, set that crowd to wondering what was up. "Maybe it's another gold strike," suggested Larry Jaley. "It might be," said the fellow called Staver. "If I thought it was a gold strike I'd follow 'em," announced Sol Blugg.
He and Haskers, after bringing in their horses, sat down, and a talk lasting the best part of an hour followed. The men from Butte asked many questions, and wanted to know about the map and papers Roger was carrying. Blugg and Jaley were evidently much impressed. "You are right about one thing, Merwell," he said. "That mine is now teetotally lost the claim was shifted by the landslide.
An' as Sol says, if we relocated the claim, maybe we could hold it at the land office anyway, we could claim a fat slice o' the wuth o' it." "We'd claim it all!" cried Merwell. "So we would!" came from Sol Blugg. "Say, sonny, you're the right kind, I reckon, an' we'll call ourselves friends," he added, and put out his hand to Link.
"Somehow I feel it in my bones that that is the Blugg gang and that Link and old Haskers are with 'em," said Phil. "To my mind, all those fellows are tarred with the same brush, and they would like nothing better than to relocate the lost Landslide Mine first." "Perhaps you are right," returned Dave. "Well, I don't see how we are going to stop them from going ahead I mean Blugg and Haskers.
