_ CHAPTER LXII "I WONDER at you giving away the claim that lay close to the gold; it is all very well to be generous, but you forget--Susan." "Don't you be silly, George. The vein dips, and those that cut down on it where it is horizontalish will get a little; we, that nick it nearly verticalish, will get three times as much out of a ten-foot square claim." "Well! you are a sharp fellow, to be sure; but, if it is so, why on earth did you make a favor to them of giving them the milk and taking the cream?" "Policy, George! policy!" _ |
