About this book
At a mountain road house, two mining partners watch an angry crowd confront Bully Presby, the forceful man whose legal claim has driven miners from their ground. Roy Norton's Western opens with a dispute over ownership and a test of nerve, then follows the practical business of trying to make a gold mine pay. Dick and Bill bring different temperaments to that work, with Dick measuring results and Bill pressing ahead with confidence.
The Croix d'Or mine gives the story a concrete working world: ore samples, delicate scales, furnaces, mill plates and the power plant all matter to its prospects. A disappointing assay raises doubts about the return on their labor, while Presby's sharp questions turn an encounter by a bridge into another contest of wills.
