The effect produced on the elders of the assembly was electric. "I want to see what sort of figure that little Rastignac cuts as a statesman," said Monsieur de Camps, rising from his seat; but in his heart he was thinking of the government subsidy he wanted for his iron-mine.
In the Matan districts there is an extensive and most valuable iron-mine, producing pure metal without any admixture of ore: it is fully equal in quality to the best Swedish iron. They run it into shot, and much of it is exported; but the gold-mines in its vicinity, and the want of a proper government, are obstacles to its further productiveness and utility.

It was built on a site once covered with cinder-heaps from a long abandoned iron-mine, and so it was called in common speech the Escorial.

All these industries are guarded by forts in which several cannon are mounted and where warriors are always on guard. "You would be surprised now, David, at the aspect of Anoroc.
