He'll go to the Coast for capital, at the same time sendin' young Stanley back to his native East on the same errand." "You may be right," said Zurich, somewhat staggered. "If you are, their find must be a second Verde or Cananea, or they would never have taken a precaution so extraordinary as a false location. What on earth can have happened to rouse their suspicions to that extent?"
I suppose it wouldn't do to pick up a collection of samples from the best mines round Cobre and inquire round who to write to for some more, from Jerome and Cananea, maybe; and then, after talking them up a while, we could send one of these samples off to be assayed, just for curiosity what?"
"Well," began Rimrock, sitting down on the edge of the sidewalk and looking absently up the street, "take me, for instance. I go out across the desert to the Tecolotes and find a whole mountain of copper.

Fertile of soyle, well watered with riuers, and springes, and rich with precious balme. Lienge in the nauelle of the world, that it neither might be broyled with heate, ne frosen with colde.
I wish I could do something for you ... carry a message to your folks and tell them how it happened." He dropped down again beside the dead man and rifled the pockets.
