Jamie and the dump truck, by Eileen Johnston.

Winchester Road, which runs out from the heart of the city to string these towns together, is paved with brick, and its traffic, for the most part, is the great, tin-tired dump-carts of the quarries and steel interurban electric cars which hum so heavily that even the windows of outlying cottages titillate.

The Boy would limp after the Colonel down to the sluice, and sit on a dump heap with Nig.

I expect you dream about locomotives breaking through trestles and dump-cars plunging into muskegs?" He laughed.

So the boys ransacked every spot where they had been thrown, under the saloon and houses, and in old dump holes everywhere, till they had gathered a pretty large pile which they fired as he had told them, and then panned out the ashes to secure the drops of metal which had melted down and cooled in small drops and bits below.
