mine mines out OF ten are sold for

money Is made by selling than by
buying them. Much OF the so-called
business of mining is based on a seant
knowledge of It's operations, and a
profound recognition OF the essential
foollshness of human nature, A man

cause he Is justified Ia the expectation
Of finding some one who win pay more
