About This Book
A dramatic adventure in a lakeside mining region begins when a bystander rescues a youth from a railroad accident and the two form a lasting friendship. The story traces their involvement with copper shafts, subterranean exploration, and the perils of being lost or trapped beneath the earth. Repeated confrontations with smugglers, a tense sea engagement on the lake, and desperate attempts to recover stolen property supply action and suspense. Throughout, bravery, loyalty, and practical ingenuity propel several rescues and culminate in the resolution of a contested and mysterious mine claim.
