This time no mistake had been made.
II was a fact that the metal. In virgin
purity. had been discovered scattered 90

everybody 20 work with feverish haste and
energy. and within two months 100 tun-

For long time nobody was willing 20
admit the truth which gradually forced
Itself upon the attention OF the miners.
