“They will be in the bunk-house to-morrow afternoon?”
“Yes.”
“How many are on the day-shift in the mill?”
“A batteryman, two amalgamators, and an engineer. The engineer and the batteryman will help the amalgamators make the clean-up, since the fires will be banked and the stamps hung up.”
“Then there will be four in the mill?”
“Yes.”
“How many Mexicans are working about the cyanid-tanks?”
“Six. Their foreman is a white man, Andy O’Connell—as game and honest a man as ever walked.”
“Can you depend on all the men who are to be in the bunk-house, in the mill, and around the tanks to-morrow afternoon?”
