He said I had no better sense than to try to make a curiosity of him, and I would make a sight better blower for a side-show than traveling agent for a celebrated physician; and that if I had the pluck of a sick kitten, I would have thrown that old Irish woman out, rather than sit there and snicker at her tirade and abuse of him. In a few minutes a lady of German extraction called.
"They don't know nothing about it," Carmack answered. "I tell you it's the God Almighty's truth. I washed out three ounces in an hour." "And there's the gold," Daylight said. "I tell you-all boys they ain't never been gold like that in the blower before. Look at the color of it." "A trifle darker," Curly Parson said.
"And you mind how you behave yourself, too!" he added, by way of a warning. By the following morning the scare was over, and the boys took Abe Blower and Tom Dillon into the upper entrance to the mine. Just a brief examination was made, but it was sufficient to prove to the old prospectors that the lads had really rediscovered the lost Landslide Mine.
We have crossed big belts of burnt trees in a country where we saw no signs of Indians." "If this blower has been burning long, the Stonies must have known of it," Blake remarked. "Isn't it curious that no news of it has reached the settlements?" "I'm not sure," Harding rejoined. "They may venerate the thing, and anyway, they're smart in some respects.
When we see an engine blowing off steam furiously at the beginning of the trip, we must not be surprised if the train reaches the first station behind time, since it indicates a fierce, thin fire, that has been rapidly ignited by the blower.
I can't answer what you ask, and I believe our forest wardens are now and then puzzled about how bush fires get started. We have crossed big belts of burned trees in a country where we saw no signs of Indians." "If this blower has been burning long, the Stonies must know of it," Blake said. "Isn't it curious that no news of it has reached the settlements?" "I'm not sure.
As to the two Indians, he told us he would see to it that they let us alone. He didn't think that Maiden's Heart would ever harm us, for he was more of a blower than anything else; but he said that Crowded Owl was really one of the worst-tempered Indians in the fort, and he advised us to have nothing more to do with him, in any way.
One of the sinkers, observing him holding up lighted candles to the windward of the “blower” or fissure from which the inflammable gas escaped, entreated him to desist; but Stephenson’s answer was, that “he was busy with a plan by which he hoped to make his experiments useful for preserving men’s lives.” On these occasions the miners usually got out of the way before he lit the gas.
"You are right; we must watch 'em," said Tom Dillon. "They are a bad lot and will do what they can to make trouble for us, and keep us from locating the lost mine." "I wonder where they are camping?" said Phil. "It can't be very far from here," replied Dave. "We can look for their campfire to-night, if you wish." "If they don't hide it," remarked Abe Blower.
"Why, if it ain't Tom Dillon, of all men!" cried one of the three, and his face, that had shown anxiety, broke into a smile. "How are you, Tom, and what brings you up here?" "I came to find you, Abe," was the old miner's reply. "They told me down in Butte you were off to have another search for the lost Landslide Mine." "Saw Kate Carmody, I reckon," went on Abe Blower.
