Anthracite is rare and very valuable.Arriving in By-Gum Mines, Colorado, she is not surprised that the darkly angry mine owner, Gryffith Williams, doesn''t believe her credentials. However, she soon also discovers a deeper reason for his distrust than her sex. Someone has flooded his mine and killed his good friend. He believes her company sent her to By-Gum to destroy him and take over his company.
