But when the interior of the vast Empire has been penetrated and our manufac tures have been introduced in the porthern parts of it there is no doubt it will open the widest field ever known for British enterprise, skill, and capital.

What more legi-hooster. titnate or reasonable course can be taken with the private adventurers who find and work the veins, or smelts the ores that contain them, than to give them every benefit which they have merited by their industry, skill, and spirit.
