Profits Ia Mining.

Many people treat with incredulity

ing the profits made IN the mineral in

grossly exaggerated hut facts creep out

Sometimes dry, prosaic court proceed

once, some time ago, makes the same
time, same connections, IL the price is
the same, IL IL costs the same to go east
as il did to come west. Possibly, he has
heard or read Of famous points of interest
in the west or middle west that he over
looked on the trip he made. Did not
see them bccauscd he had not time did
