Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mineral Resources of the United States: And the Importance and Necessity of Inaugurating a Rational System of Mining, With Special Reference to the Comstock Lode and the Sutro Tunnel, in Nevada The development of the mineral resources of this country forms a subject of such grave importance, one involving considerations of a politico-economical nature of such significant consequences, that it well behooves the American Statesman, the Patriot who has the future of this great Republic at heart to devote some time to the earnest examination of those questions which have a vital bearing upon the future welfare of this country. In the vast regions stretching from the Mississippi River to the broad Pacific Ocean, from the confines of Mexico to the icy regions of the North, there lie buried in the bowels of the earth incalculable treasures of the precious metals, which but await the industrious application of the hardy miner, and the fostering care of a providential government to pour out a stream of gold and silver, which will so much increase the national wealth, augment the resources of the nation, and spread welfare and prosperity throughout the extent of this vast land, that the burdens of taxation will gradually disappear, and make the national debt sink into insignificance. If we contemplate that mighty interest, which can be made to create so many blessings, and find that it is neglected and declining from year to year, we must arrive at the firm conclusion, that there is something radically wrong in our present system of mining, and that an immediate, practical, and effectual remedy should be applied to rescue from steady decline and eventual abandonment a source of wealth which must be considered the most fruitful and important one this nation possesses.
