mines. You are very, hopeful I observe, but
you will lose your moneY-mark my words.
| The ore is there, true enough but not one
mine in fifty can be proftably worked in Amer
lea until wages are twenty-five cents day, as
in Germany, instead of Biz dollars, as at your
mines. The expense Of reducing your ore
will swallow up all the revenue, and much
more. It won't do. What would my oommu-
nifty be to-day il it had taken to mining instead
of agriculture2 Set one hundred men to min
ing and ten to farming, and at the end of ten
years the ten will be worth more than the one
hundred, and probably have to feed them gra-
tuitously. You say it is possible that my views
| on this subject may be changed. They may
be enlarged, and for your sake I hope they will.
But can only repeat my fullest conviction
that you are doomed to bitter disappointment
and heavy losses"
