"However, it will cost you something, and you'll find some resistance from the people you want to help; but if the ore's as good as we think, you'll be able to carry out your plans." "Do you think I could trust this work to a stranger? A man hired for wages, who might have no sympathy with my aims?" Agatha asked.
That's where I got out." "But what happened before that?" "What didn't 'appen?" asked Harry, with a painful grin. "Everything in the world 'appened. I but what did the assay show?" Fairchild reached forth and laid a hand on the brawny one of his partner. "We 're rich, Harry," he said, "richer than I ever dreamed we could be. The ore's as good as that of the Silver Queen!" "The bloody 'ell it is!"
Neither of the pair, however, appeared cheerful, and Weston's face grew hard when he heard what they had to say about the mine. "As you'd see by the specimens, we were turning out high-grade milling ore a little while ago," Devine observed. "Well?" The surveyor's gesture was expressive. "We're not in it now. Ore's turned spotty, and it's running deeper.
"The situation's much like this," said Thirlwell thoughtfully; "the ore's rich, but I expect we'll spend all our money before we get results that would encourage the subscribers and warrant our asking for more capital." "Then if you and Helen invested, it would enable your friends to carry on, and perhaps qualify you for a director's post?" "Yes.
The calm, direct manner of the young man had begun to have its effect. "Nothing but my ore property." "That's good for nothing. I made a mistake when I wanted you to put it in here. Glad you didn't take me up." "So am I. My own investigation showed the same thing." "And the ore's of poor quality," continued Breen in a decided tone. "Very poor quality, what I saw of it," rejoined Jack.
Then he walked around uninterested and forlorn until they were ready to go home again. The stairway seemed shorter as they descended, but the pillars were tall and thick as before. And on the way home his father found a little shop open and bought him a few öre's worth of hard candy. It was the only time Keith could ever remember his having done such a thing.
"Weel?" inquired the Scotchman when Vane, after examining two or three of the stones, abruptly flung them down. "The ore's running poorer. On the other hand, I partly expected this. There's better stuff in the reef. We're a little too high, for one thing; I look for more encouraging results when we start the lower heading."
He liked and trusted Scott, and the thought of being able to offer Agatha the help she might need was attractive; but he meant to be honest and exercised some self-control. "It would pay you better to leave the thing alone. I feel pretty sure the ore's a freak of Strange's imagination." "It's possible," Scott agreed. "Go and see."
"Now," said Claude, laughing, "I've two prices, ore's two hundred, and the other is just nothing; and if you won't agree to the one, you must take the other." "But we wants to pay, we'd take it an honour to pay, if we could afford it." "Then wait till next Christmas." "Christmas?" "My good friend, pictures are not painted in a day.
