AUTHOR’S NOTE
Some readers may be disposed to question the accuracy of my statements regarding the mines, and the actual wealth in gold of the State. I can assure them that these statements are absolutely devoid of exaggeration, and capable of being easily verified.
This is true also of what is said respecting timber, fruits, and agricultural produce.
