About this book
A sack of copper ore brings Rimrock Jones back to Gunsight with dreams of millions and credit that will only buy drinks. The mining town greets his discovery with jokes and doubt, while company president Andrew McBain reacts fearfully to his arrival. Rimrock believes a vast deposit can make his fortune, but developing it demands money far beyond his own means. Dane Coolidge builds this Western novel around the gap between a prospector's confidence and the practical power of capital.
Business meetings become another arena for conflict. Rimrock resists a plan to profit through stock manipulation, and Mary Fortune backs him because she believes investors deserve something real in return. Her next vote, on keeping the mining camp free of alcohol, puts her on the other side. Plainspoken exchanges, stubborn personalities and arguments over responsibility give the book its interest for readers drawn to frontier fiction with a strong business theme.
