TROUBLE IN THE BLACKSMITH

Weeks passed. The compressor

Seattle house and would soon be

miles distant. Larry and Jack had
had some argument about the lo
cation of the compressor nouse.
They had finally decided that since
the tunnel was dry and its back
solid that they would widen it just
inside the portal and put the en
gine and compressor there. This
had been done and in addition they
had driven a raise from this room
to the surface in order to provide
an exit for gasses from the exhaust
of the engine.
Larry and Jack had both single
jacked this room. The rgck was
soft, and they made rapid progress.
The job finished, they had again
turned their attention to opening
the quartz deposit. The duty of
sharpening the steel fell upon Lar
ry who was not so adept in the use
of the hammer as was his partner.
He usually had plenty of time to
work with Jack after the black
smithing was done, but after run

ning into quartz he had had to
spend more and more time in the
shop. The hard quartz dulled the
bits rapidly and beside many bits
were coming beak with their corn
ers chipped off. This necessitated
reforming the entire bit. Plainly
the sharpening was not done right.
Larry wonied over this. Believ
ing the steel to be at fault he had
made a set of drills from some new
stock which they had on hand.
These drills failed as the others had
done. He experienced with the
tempering, the hardening and the
forging. Still the trouble persisted.
Finally, in desperation, he took his
troubles to Nels Anderson, a neigh
boring prospector whose claim lay
two miles downthe gulch.
Nels was working on his own
drills when Larry came up. “Fine
day,” he greeted Larry. “How’s the
aew strike?”
“Pretty heavy. How is your as- '
saying?” j
“Not so good. Not so good,'” |
grumbled Nels. She’s in and out— !
mostly out.” I
“Nels, I am having trouble mak
ing my drills hold up. I wish you
would give me some help.”
Nels picked up a dull pick from
the drill on the floor and handed it
to Larry, saying as he did so: “I can
best help you by watching you
sharpen one.”
Larry took the steel, buried it in
the fire, heaped the coals around it
and began to turn the blower as
hard as he could. Nels watched
him awhile and then said:
“Don’t heat it too fast. Heat
causes the steel to expand. Heating
it too fast, expands the outside lay
ers more than it does the inside
layers. That may cause cracks. It
is good business, too, to turn the
piece occasionally while heating.
That helps to make tthe heating :
even all around.” !
