Here is a letter for you that came in with yesterday's mail, he said.

Struck anything more encouraging at the mine since you wrote me?

I'm afraid we haven't. Still, Allonby seems as sure as ever and is most anxious to get the new plant in.

You'll have to knock off the big boring machine anyway. The mine's just swallowing dollars, and we'll have to go a trifle slower until some more come in. English directors didn't seem quite pleased last mail. Somebody in their papers has been slating the Dayspring properties, and there's a good deal of stock they couldn't work off. In fact, they seemed inclined to kick at my last draft, and we'll want two or three more thousand dollars before the month is up.
