Why should we assume the Peruvian
traditions of the lost mines Of the Incas
to be SO untrue, or smile because we are
told that the Ashantees know where to
find gold in quantities.? Why not? The
California gold was known a century be-
fore it was found, aud unless geology is
all wrong, the Yankees have not got
hold of the richest section, which is in
Lower California, yet. The Turks must
own and neglect endless mines-some Of
them, if tradition is notall self-begotten,
mines Of gold-and there is all Southern
Asia to be ransacked by the curious.
Where, before maritime enterprise began,
did all the silver and copper and lead in
those vast countries come from2 The
people of India were two hundred mil
lions before the fifteenth century, and
used and boarded silver and copper in
several forms, and lead, ard where did
they get them2 There are no silver
mines open now in India. They are
working gold diggings in Wynaad, on a
system which indicates, if not with GER
tainty, with a high degree of probability,
that they have not reached the reefs"
add have only found some ancient de-
posits washed down from them. There
are all name of minerals in the Ma
layan Peninsula, and indeed throughout
the Eastern Archipelago, which, for
want Of civilized methods Of working,
return nobody anything worth having.
Would not copper be worth searching for
in those regions, by men who remember
that if they can only find any metal
worth working, there is the boundless re-
servoir of China close at hand to draw
their labor from? Discoveries Of tin in
the Archipelago have half-ruined Corn
wall, aud there may be much more than
tin, the existence of which geologists
could predicate with certainty. Even
leaving aside gold, as a tempting but illu-
sive metal, which rouses local cdpidity
too much, where are the places in South
ern Asia, ard especially in India, where
copper ought to exist2
