Very few people are aware that Balzac
once engaged IN gold mining. Always
short OF money despite his colossal literary
labor, the famous author yearned for some
sudden fortune from gold mines or hidden

spot at Port au Prince Toussaint. Louver.

resolved to repair to St. Domingo and
take possession Of the treasure. Unable
to do all the work alone he admitted Jules
Sandeau and Gautier into the syndicate,
