A man, finding himeelf with useless
articles, instead of throwing them
away, would sell them to Mayfield.
Then he opened a little exchange; and
when a man desired to get a set of
mining tools he applied to Mayfield.
Mayfield was sharp enough to sell low

in the visionary gold mines which the
prospector was to strike.
The scheme worked, and at the end
of the season he found himself in pos
session of many a profitable share. To
