richness, they would have mine
which would keep g hundred

Capital would no longer be timid
of investment. Ali the mines of
the district would be given a GER
tificate of continuity. Then the
extravagant prices now asked
would be warranted.
But as it is, without a single
steam hoist in the district, with no
shaft down over 100 feet, and with
a lot OF dry washers working
quartz lodges, why should men of
money pay the enormous prices? 7?
There isn't mine here. They are
