09 - The X Bar X Boys Lost In The Rockies - 1930

A solitary, peripatetic prospector is the joint owner of a section of rocky land with Bardwell Manley of the X Bar X ranch and Peter Ball of the 8 X 8 ranch. Although they considered it worthless, it is now sought after by The Great Divide Water Company for irrigation purposes, and who will pay top dollar for it. The sale must be consummated within thirty days, or the water company must take an option on another parcel; unfortunately, no one knows where the old prospector is—except that he is prospecting somewhere “in the Rockies.” Roy and Teddy rush to find him, but, unknown to them, they are followed by men who wish to foil the sale.

by all who love mystery, rapid action, and adventures in the great open spaces."

"The Manley Boys, Roy and Teddy, are the sons of an old ranchman, the owner of many thousands of head of cattle. The lads know how to ride, how to shoot, and how to take care of themselves under any and all circumstances."

"The cowboys of the X Bar X ranch are real cowboys, on the job when required but full of fun and daring--a bunch any reader will be delighted to know." - Grosset & Dunlap advertisements of the This Stratemeyer Syndicate series was authored by several different writers, Leslie McFarlane, Roger Garis, Grace May North (14,16,17), and Walter Karig among others.
