“It will cost a huge sum to open this mine and operate it.”
“There is no question on that point.”
“Still, this report shows it will be worth it, if the vein pans out to be one-half as promising as this assay of your specimens.”
Merry laughed.
“Mr. Kensington,” he said, “it is my belief that we have not fully uncovered the vein. It is my conviction that it will prove twice as valuable as it now seems when we get into it in earnest.”
