the world. though, Of course, not In
quantities which 1t would pay to dig.
Now comes the startling discovery that
the common red clay OF which bricks
are made contain gold at the rate OF
nearly shilling's worth to the ton
even, in some cases, little more. In
Che houses Of London there are at least
100000 tons Of brick. Make a little
calculation at the rate of shilling
per ton ard you will find that no less
