But what's been the cost of it?
What's been the return?
If sixteen hundred men, among 'em, can sell fifteen hundred pounds' worth of gold a week, how is each man to have twenty shillings on Saturday night?
That's about what it is at Ahalala.

Of course there's gold.

And where there's gold chucked about in that way, just on the surface, one gets it and ten don't.

Who is to say you mayn't be the one.

As to hiring a man to show you the way,--you can hire a dozen.
