“By two o’clock the amalgam ought to be ready for retorting, but it will probably be day after to-morrow before Jacobs gets the bullion refined and run into bars.”
“What do you do with the amalgam?”
“It is kept in the mill until it is ready for Jacobs; then it is taken over to the laboratory by the tanks and Jacobs gets to work on it.”
“It will be taken to the laboratory about two o’clock?”
“Yes.”
“Who’s with Jacobs while he’s refining and running out the bullion?”
“I am, usually, and so is Bernritter.”
“You will be with him to-morrow?”
“Yes.”
“Armed?”
