A microscope, a hastily rigged radio set, and Rick’s pocket lens help Rick and Scotty to solve the riddle of the reappearing phantom - but not before the two young scientists more than once meet danger at the hands of the Blue Ghost of Old Mine Campground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYouth Science Fiction In the spirit of Tom Swift A shimmering ghost walks by night with his spectral henchmen in the shadow of an old deserted lead mine.
