"Well, if the others are to be there, I'll have to come, too," Dave had replied; and so it had been settled, and that is how we now find the boys at Senator Morr's fine country mansion, located on the outskirts of the village of Hemson. Dave and Phil had been there for four days, and Roger and his parents had done all in their power to make the visitors feel at home.
"Dese ole nigger slave traders uster so my Mammy said, steal de niggers from one Massa and dey would leave at night en stay in "Campbells Cave" den dey would take dese niggers wid a promise of freedom to Clarksville, Tenn., sell dem again on "Mr. Dunk Morr's" slave market. Sometimes dese niggers if dey got a new Massa dat war mean would run erway en come back tar dar ole Massas."
"The opening to it was completely covered up, and so were the stakes, and several landmarks that showed where the mine was located." "But why didn't you tell of this before, Roger?" asked a third youth of the group seated on the lawn of Senator Morr's country estate. "Did it just happen?" "No, Phil, this happened last fall, about nine months ago.
"We can go after a fortune that is coming to Roger Morr's mother. It's the Landslide Mine, and it's lost. Haskers, if we can locate that mine, our fortunes are made! Come on, and I'll tell you all about it while we are getting away from this place. We must go West just as fast as we can make it!" "Off at last!" "Hurrah for the West!" "And the Landslide Mine, Roger, don't forget that!"
"And you are Senator Morr's son, eh?" said the old miner, turning to Link Merwell. "I am," was the bold answer, but when the old miner looked him squarely in the eyes, Merwell had to turn his gaze away. "I understood that Maurice Harrison, when he died, willed the Landslide Mine to your family," went on Tom Dillon. "He did, and I and my friend are here to look for it," answered Link Merwell.
It was old Professor Potts who asked grace; and then some rapid-fire conversation followed, the girls and the others demanding to know all about what had happened at Senator Morr's home, and about the lost mine. "It certainly sounds like a romance!" declared Dave's father, referring to the lost mine. "But I have heard of such things before," answered his brother.
