Description
It is a trite, but by no means true, saying that mining is a gamble. It is only a gamble when a man unfamiliar with the business buys property he has never ''seen or of which he does not know the value. It is not a gamble if entered upon on business principles, with a full knowledge of what is being bought, obtained either by personal inspection or through the report. Of a reliable mining engineer. There is no more reason why a man should buy a pig in a poke in the mining business than in any other business. If he does so and finds that he has not bought a pig but some other animal, he must not blame the mining business, but his own unbusinesslike manner of engaging in it.
