oNE OF THE BETTER BOOKS WRITTEN IN A REALISTIC and objective manner. Too many times, the prospector or miner gets $ signs in their eyes and greed sets in. They find a chip of gold and begin to think the whole country is there waiting for them to scoop the hidden gold up by the shovelful. Vern Ballantyne gives the reader vital information of how to explore, sample, and prospect in a manner that shows truth to the record, rather than GROSS OPTIMISM, and unwarranted hope. If this is not enough, just ponder the fact that even with rich mines of the Old West, FAR MORE MONEY was put into the ground than was ever taken out.I have purchased nearly 50 copies of this book and given them away to my associates who wanted to get into mining; that's how much I believe in the good common sense presented here by this author.
