A Word About /lining
Mining lias been the foundation of
the worid's wealth from the beginning
of time. The governments rich in
minerals have alway* been t lie richest
and strongest governments on earth. !
The mineral sections of any country
havealway* ruled that country. Ue-1
member that the man who produces
gold, silver and copper i* creating the
raw material of money: every strike of
hi> pick, i very echo from hi* drill, j
add* to tlie wealth of every man’s
bu*ine** in the world. The miner of
gold and silver is not a business pirate
and is the only man who i* not. He!
never etits price*, never creates strikes
or trample* on the right* or privileges
of a competitor. Mining i* the only
business on this earth that increase*
the wealth of the world without rob
bing or infringing on the rights of oth
ers. The miner is a man who linds
wealth, if you please, without juggling
it out of some one else's pockets into
hir own. Mining has always been the
uiek road to great wealth. A country
of great mines always becomes a
country of great wealth, influence
and power, and what you say for na
tions you can say for men.—Exchange
