^88 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON 



the Atlantic to the Pacific, I found that English- 

 men and foreigners were preparing to monopolize 

 every article that could be required for mining pur-

 sometimes to A., and sometimes to B., was consi- 

 dered by a pack of people as a headless, unpro- 

 tected carcass, which was a fair subject for uni- 

 versal " worry."
