"Not much of the wild, galootin' kid left in you, I 'spect. But don't go gettin' fresh with me, or I'll clout you one with my prospectin' pick. Go 'long now; put up your horse an' hustle inside. If you want to wash up, I guess you can bein' a visitor." Rathburn chuckled, as he led his horse around behind the cabin, where two burros were, and unsaddled him.
"Ever sleep in a Injun hogan?" queried Cheyenne as he busied himself adjusting the pack. "No. This is my first trip West." "I was forgettin'. Well, I ain't what you'd call a dude, but, honest, if I was prospectin' round lookin' for Injun romance I'd use a pair of field-glasses. Injuns is all right if you're far enough up wind from 'em." "When do you start?" asked Bartley. "Oh, 'most any time.
I see the syndicaters a-castin' sheeps' eyes her ways the day she took 'em over The Gore prospectin'; but, by A. J.! they hauled in their lookin's when she turned them great eyes of her'n their ways. What's the figger for the hull piece? Does anybody know?"
"You thinkin' of doin' a little prospectin' on your own hook, Son?" he inquired. "Heavens, no!" answered Allen with convincing sincerity, adding with a smile: "It is barely possible that my client might, though." The old man started and stood upright, squaring his thin shoulders belligerently.
Robert had been prospectin' for months to find the right man for that transportation muddle and when he finally got hold of this Nicky Wells he goes around grinnin' for three days. Seems Nicky had built up quite a rep. by some work he did over in France on an engineerin' job.
He watched the train crawl down the track. He wondered how long he would be able to distinguish the pattern of the brasswork on the observation car-rail. Out of the empty distance came the click, clink, clank of hammers and shovels as the section-men, a mile down the track, stepped into work behind the train. "Prospectin'?" queried a lank individual, slouching up to Winthrop.
"There might be somethin' good over yonder if 'twas looked into right," went on Uncle Bill easily, as he stood with the ball of his feet hanging over a precipice, staring speculatively. "But it'll be like to stay there for a while, with these young bucks doin' all their prospectin' around some sheet-iron stove.
"What is a lost mine?" asked Wilbur. Merritt looked at him a moment thoughtfully, then turned to the prospector. "You tell the yarn," he said. "You probably know it better than I do." "I'm not much on talkin'," began the prospector. "Away back in the sixties, after the first gold-rush, Jock Burns, one of the old Forty-niners, started prospectin' in the Sierras.
"To make my story shorter, we staked what we wanted of the creek, and let the other fellows in on what was left. After that, without sleeping, but with a hasty meal, we put back home again as fast as our dogs would travel. "Three months later, when the snow was about gone, and we thought the time ripe for prospectin', I took my two men and an outfit and gave that blamed old creek a fair trial.
"Well," said Young, dryly, when I had briefly explained these several matters, "I guess he won't pull th' wool over nobody's eyes any more! An' now you an' me 'll do some prospectin'. We must go back upstairs, before we pull out for good, an' bag what there is there that's worth carryin' off; but th' first thing t' do is t' get Rayburn where he'll be comfortable an' safe.
