About this book
Deep beneath Nevada's Comstock ledge, James Sedgwick and John Browning pause beside an air pipe to escape the heat of their mining shift. They study the signs of richer ore ahead and consider putting their savings into shares. C. C. Goodwin opens this Western novel with an argument about the place of metals in civilization, then turns to the practical calculations of two working miners who hope to profit from what they see underground.
Money and friendship lead into a story of personal obligations. In the later excerpt, Browning plans to marry Rose, while Sedgwick arranges his own marriage to Grace before leaving to examine a property. Grace supports his sense of duty despite the prospect of separation.
