The Lost Cabin Mine is a story by Frederick Niven. Niven was a Canadian novelist who produced over thirty works of fiction, an autobiography, poetry, essays, and pieces of journalism. Excerpt: "I hung my head and studied the planking of the verandah, then looked upward and gazed at the far-off glacier glittering under the blue sky, tried to wear the appearance of a deaf man who had not heard this altercation. Really I took the matter too seriously."
