"I'm running this mine and mill. "I've got thirty men working for me and I'm making money. They may keep my husband in jail, but while I have health the Yankee Roy will run. [ Taking off an old slouch hat, Mrs Geyman shook off the damp of the 300-foot level, showing a wealth of black hair coiled and knotted in artful grace. Mud-besmeared, soaked- to the skin with copper Vater, darkr ened by the powder smoke, Mrs. Gey man was still a strikingly beautiful woman. "We have been under tremendous expense here," continued Mrs. Geyman, "but we are making money. Our output is si\\ty tons a day, with a value of about $15 a ton gross. We mill our own ore.
