On the rocks near the cuttings we saw many rude drawings, one of a parrot and several of gazelles, evidently done by the workmen with their chisels. In referring to records of the ancient gold-mines of Egypt, we find that a mine existed in the Wadi Allaki, some days south of Komombo, in the Bishari district.
They had all, however, been thrown together by the force of a common interest. All were bound for the gold-mines, and it was necessary that they should travel in company for mutual protection and assistance. There were two guides, who had charge of ten pack-mules loaded with provisions for the storekeepers at some remote diggings.
Want to go to California!" gasped Job. "What put that idee into your head?" "A good many people are going there, and there's a chance to get rich quick out among the gold-mines." "But you're only a boy." "I'm a pretty large boy, Uncle Job," said Ben complacently, "and I'm pretty strong." "So you be, Ben, but it takes more than strength." "What more, Uncle Job?" "It takes judgment."
She, knowing the Spanish taste, and anxious to please her lover and to retain him in her territory, told him of some rich gold-mines that there were in the neighbourhood, and suggested that he should inform the Admiral, who would perhaps remove the settlement from Isabella to the south coast.
On the other hand, the conduct of the women was admirable; as the conqueror said in the Mansion House, he hardly wondered at the King of Dahome keeping up a corps of 'Amazons. I shall presently return to the gold-mines. At Lagos M.

The mountain range above Malaca was anciently rich in gold-mines; Sexti was famous for its salt-pans; Abdera lay in the neighbourhood of productive silver-mines. These were afterwards worked from Carthagena, which was a late Carthaginian colony, founded by Asdrubal, the uncle of Hannibal.
The same thing occurred as to the gold-mines. He never took a title to a town lot, unless it was one, of no real value, from Alcalde Colton, in Monterey, of which I have never heard since. He did take a share in the store which Warner, Beator, and I, opened at Coloma, paid his share of the capital, five hundred dollars, and received his share of the profits, fifteen hundred dollars.
"When you say that the Honer'ble J. Percival Bickford has stolen " "Well, promoted gold-mines, then! It's only more words to say the same thing. And he's back here spendin' his loose change for daily doses of hair-oil talk fetched to him by the beggin' old suckers of this place."
No army was needed to oppose them, and Cossacks were sent to stop the march of the troops. In the course of two days more the truth was sifted from the mass of wild rumors and reports. The ten thousand invaders dwindled to forty Circassian prisoners who had escaped from the gold-mines on the Birioussa. These fugitives had not a thought of invading the Russian dominions.
If it is as large as I think it is," said Glenfernie, "I'll not travel out of it." He looked out over moor and moss. There breathed about him something that gave the old man wonder. "Hae ye gold-mines and jewels, Glenfernie? Hae the King made ye Minister?" The wandering laird laughed. "Better than that, White Farm, better than that!"
