 call them here, worked hard there day 

 and night ; and there are abundance 

 of honefl fober people, who have heard

 notion of them, or of mines either ; 

 but, after the difcovery of the great ore, 

 they were heard no more/'

 confiderable time, that they even frigh- 

 tened fome young workmen out of the 

 work. This was when we were driving 

 levels, and before we had got any ore ; 

 but when we came to the ore, they then 

 gave over, and I heard no more talk of 

 them/'
