He got awfully let down. Well, he's had some surveyors to go up there lately and look it over, and the next thing we knew the Superior Mining Company came along an' wanted to buy it. Of course we didn't want to sell just then." They had reached the store door, and he paused. "We'll go right home to supper," she said. "The girls will look out for things till I get back."
Curly broke the silence one morning at a plebiscite of four men who gathered to bask near Whiteman's corral. "I hit the trail of them surveyors," said he, "other side of Lone Mountain, day before yestiday. They've got a line of pegs drove in the ground. Looks like they was afraid their old railroad was goin' to git lost from 'em, unless they picketed it out right strong."
Now, there was always one central theme to Charlotte's talk, whatever the variations. "He hasn't a bit of false pride, Willy hasn't," she was stating.

They built a bark canoe in which to cross the Kentucky, and on the 1st of July they met another party of surveyors on the banks of that stream.
No. We're going to lead them. They'll follow us." "You're like a wildcat train then?" "Something of the sort." "Where's the boss?" "There he comes now. I'll have to hustle the men, or he'll scorch the grass off the lot with his roars." The foreman hastened to stir up his surveyors and Phil moved off that he might get a better look at Mr. Sully, the owner of the show.
Lodge and his surveyors came up, if opportunity permitted. As I sat there musing and watching the chickens loitering around the dooryard, I chanced to remember the milch cow. Casting about for a receptacle, I discovered several earthen jars of Seneca make set in willow baskets and standing by the stream.
The chiefs denied the sale, and, when the Company's surveyors came into the valley, warned them off, and burned down the huts they had put up. Commissioner Spain was coming almost at once to try the dispute as to the title. But the delays and vexations of the previous years had infuriated Captain Wakefield.
