It cannot be  expected in all cases, however, that men will  go on week, after week, and -month  after  month, prospecting, and getting nothing in  the  meanwhile   to  encourage   them.    The  number of men in the aggregate of a mining  community are comparatively small who will  do so.   A large amount of money and labor  is thrown away through want of perseverance, and it is to be expected that men will  fail   to   carry out- their original intentions.  u I will give eight months' work to that piece  of ground "on tigbtnmg creek," said one, a  short time ago, and he returned from it alter  as  many   weeks'  labor;   without   proving  whether it was worth anything;   Itis in this!  -way   that   the country does' not getJustice |  done to it 5 and those who show least deter-,  minationandperseverance,'"and who trust to  luck more than to industry*:are always loudest in.^pnteinuing the .extent., of- the  gold  ASSAY   OFFICE.
