If these miners be Mongolians. they will add nothing to the wealth of the Territory. but will sap its very life. and the mining camps will consist only of huts. If the miners employed bewhite men. besides adding great wealth to the Territory it will bring forty to fifty thousand additional population. and instead of villages of Chinese huts.wellbuilt towns will spring up. in whichwill live thrifty populations. [Here the hammer fell.]
