During the silver boom in the 1860s, an old prospector, Bill Barton, discovered the richest silver mine ever under Apple Mountain in Colorado. He named it The Lollipop Mine because he and his dog, Silver Dollar Sam, loved lollipops! A no-good cutthroat coward named Swineback did in the old prospector and his faithful dog, Silver Dollar Sam, and stole the mine. Before dying, Old Barton swore that he would never leave the mine. Who would have guessed that, 135 years later, new friends, Bobby and Mikey, and Mikeys dog, Squash, would tumble, head over heels, into the old mineshaft. The three uncover the treacherous plans of Swinebacks great-grandson, Swiney, who plans to hijack the governments laser defense system being tested in a nearby laboratory. Can Mikey, Bobby, and Squash stop Swineback before its too late? (Oh, yes. Were old Barton and Silver Dollar Sam still walking the dark mineshafts?)Join the fun and adventures of The Lollipop Mine, as told by Papa Derryberry in the first of the series of Papa Derryberrys Tales. You dont want to miss the fun!
