Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1895-11-14

But not for their wood only are the for
ests of Venezuela valuable, for the forest
products may become an almost equal
source of revenue. Thousands of square
miles are covered with the trees that pro-
duce rubber. thousands more with Gin
chona forests that have never been
touched with the AK, while plants useful
in medical art and practice are numbered
by the hundred. If Venezuela had moth
ing but forests the State would be
wealthy: but there is reason to believe
that the mineral products are equally rich.
Gold has been found in every portion of
the republic, from the desert steppes of
the highlands to the marshes of Mara
caibo. As is very we'll known, the rich
ness of the gold mines in the territory
near the British line has induced the En-
glish to claim land to which they have
not a shadow of title; and no doubt is
felt that when the mines of Venezuela are
properly worked the worlds output of
precious metal will be largely increased.
Some of the mines now worked produce
seven ounces to the ton, and the labors
of prospectors have discovered others
that will be quite as rich.
Silver is almost as plentiful as gold:
copper is found in quantities so large and
in situations where the metal is so easily
worked. that the copper of Venezuela is
already competing in Europe with that
