About This Book

Young cadets at a military academy celebrate a victory then embark on an expedition to the mining regions of the West to locate a long-lost vein of ore. Their journey shifts from schoolroom life to rugged Colorado terrain, where the boys encounter accidents, hostile rivals, and natural hazards. The narrative follows their resourcefulness, courage, and practical skills as they follow clues, overcome traps and deceptions, and persist through danger. The tale resolves with the recovery of the lost property and the boys' return after triumphing over the obstacles.
