Tha mining of gold and petroleum le not

of profit or certainty, or even is the veljia
of tha prodoaia While fee lata loitance
In tba hletory of both Whirr largo fortune
have been ammawad la a abort lima, with
but a trifleof expenditure In labor or capi
tal, tba aggregate reoulta ahow that neither
gold or petroleum la worth mora than tha
amount of labor expanded In ohtalninc
them. The lebet In both eaeee liofaani-
lorm character, and where In one laeteoc it
may reault In largo prefttala another It I
entirely throw away, tuui equalizing the
rhtt and -espenditares,- and bringing the
aggregate proat down to the mare aoat of
tha artiele obtained. .
fllf wa take tba bull nee of the-Pennsylva-
nla petroleum region, with which moat of
ua ara familiar, Into eloae aoalyile, we will
find the oaaec of profit ao email compared
with the number which bare not been eelf
suitalotag, that it aometime aeemi a matter
of doabt whether tha expenditure i not
greater than tboreturn. Tha amount! ex
pended are drawn from tbonaaodi of lourc-
a while the proflta are eoofioed to but few;
and though the business goei on ineraaaing
and developing, expanding over territory
and building np Improvement, It I not
reality . proportionately larger than It Im
portance would carry it by It own volution
or greater or mote profitable lhao.the eame
amount of labor and capital would make
any other business.
So with gold mining, which doee not by
any meant alwayi yield an lotareit en the
