"Then I'd know they hadn't left Butte to look for that lost mine."
"Humph! you don't suppose they are going to find it all in a minute, do you, Dave?" asked Phil.

"Supposing Merwell and Haskers should hunt up Blower and see what he had to say about the lost mine."
"Phew!" cried Roger. "Do you think they'd dare?"
"They might. They have done some pretty bold things lately. Link is real reckless."
Roger came to a halt on the pavement.
"Maybe we had better hunt for Abe Blower right away," he declared.
"Oh, come on, and get to bed," yawned Phil. "Where are you going to look for him this time of night?"
