"No, it's a high-grade ore," returned Ballantree with some positiveness; "that is, it was when we got down into it. But I'm not here to talk about percentage that may come in later. I came to save Mr. Guthrie's time.

A hot-water installation is likely to cost twice as much as a furnace, but if we are to live in the house it is better to make our estimates cover ten or twenty years rather than to bear too strongly on first costs.

I'm an American first, last, and all the time. I'll show 'em that when I strike Europe. Piff! My cig's out.

"Look, the drill head is dull." "That trap door!" Tom exclaimed. "It leads to a mine. Miles and Brett have discovered high-grade uranium right here on Titan where everyone thought there was nothing but crystal!" Astro nodded grimly. "And that isn't all. This room is free of ammonia gas."
