Whenever, in any of the tunnels, blank rock is struck, whichever one of us is in charge will stay by the blank rock blasting, keeping careful record, until pay ore is struck again." "You two young engineers are too infernally methodical," grumbled Dr. Tisco under his breath." "That is a very excellent plan," smiled Montez, amiably.
Jenny Lind created a great sensation at Washington, and at her first concert Mr. Webster, who had been dining out, rose majestically at the end of her first song and made an imposing bow, which was the signal for enthusiastic applause. Lola Montez danced in her peculiar style to an audience equally large, but containing no ladies.
With their skill and honesty established, the opinions of the two partners on mining problems were generally respected wherever they happened to be known. After some correspondence the two engineers had been speedily engaged, and the opening of this volume deals with the time of their arrival at the handsome country house of Senor Montez.
When we look at the portraits of the enchantresses whom history tells us have ruled the world by their charm, and swayed the destinies of empires at their fancy, we are astonished to find that they have rarely been beautiful. From Cleopatra or Mary of Scotland down to Lola Montez, the tell-tale coin or canvas reveals the same marvellous fact.
After we've rid ourselves of military guard, and have reached the Montez estate, we are at least released from our word of honor not to attempt an escape. I guess, Harry, we had better take up with Don Luis's rascally offer." "Well, caballeros, does it need much discussion to enable you to accept my kindness?" called Montez, banteringly. "Not at all, Don Luis," Tom made answer.
Tom began to delve through the piles of shattered, reduced rock. The foreman held the lantern close, that the young engineer might have all the light he wanted, and called to miners to bring their lights closer. Then Harry, also, began to examine the rock. For some minutes the two young engineers picked up specimens and examined them. "What do you make of it?" inquired Don Luis Montez at last.
"Of course, Don Luis, if your conduct in selling the mine is found to be blameless, then you will soon be able to use your money in any way that you please. But, first of all, the government must be satisfied." "Have you any further questions that you wish to ask me at present?" Montez demanded, suddenly.
And now again the terrible "Hiss-s-s!" taken up by the other box, and the words repeated loudly and more angrily even than before the historic words which sealed Lola's doom at Her Majesty's Theater: "WHY, IT'S BETTY JAMES!" She was, indeed, Betty James, and London would not accept her as Lola Montez.
"Oh, really the manager of the mine, then?" pursued Harry. "Pardon me if I ask too many questions. I do not mean to be impertinent. But, as we are going to work here I wish to know who's who is Senor Montez' representative." "Carlos," broke in Don Luis, again, "is rather more than the mine manager. He serves me in a variety of interests, and the mine is only one of them."
There is now but one way in which you can retrieve your conduct." Don Luis Montez rose, dipped the pen freshly in ink, and thrust it into Reade's hand. "Sign that report!" ordered the Mexican. Tom rose to his feet. So did Harry. "Don Luis," spoke Reade calmly, though he was inwardly raging. "I always like to do business like a gentleman.
