It was a tremendously exciting time that the young
engineers had in Arizona, but they at last got away with their lives and
were at the same time immensely successful in their undertaking.
In "_The Young Engineers In Nevada_" we found our young friends under
changed conditions. While at work in Colorado and in Arizona Tom and
Harry had studied the occurrence of precious ores, and also the methods
of assaying and extracting ores. Having their time wholly to themselves
after finishing in Arizona the dauntless young pair went to Nevada, there
to study mining at first hand. In time they located a mining claim, though
there were other claimants, and around this latter fact hung an extremely
exciting story. Both young engineers nearly lost their lives in Nevada,
and met with many strenuous situations. Their sole idea in pushing their
mine forward to success was that the money so earned would enable them to
further their greatest ambition; they longed to have their own engineering
offices. In the end, their mine, which the young engineers had named "The
Ambition," proved a success. Thereupon they left their mining partner, Jim
Ferrers, in charge and went east to open their offices.
