Gold does not rain down. at least II
hasn't done so on his earth since the
close of the Nebu'N.ls period When
gold is found associated with porphyry
and in vein form with smooth. cleaving
wall, it means that the gold quartz
and porphyry go down to profound
depths. Experience teaches that depth
and good values are generally one and
inseparable, and especially So as in
