Old creases from folding staple holes at upper corner all else very good. Dunbar a broker appeals to Americans for investment in this Canadian mining region because "Canadians besides lacking the mining experience are too slow to take advantage of the golden opportunities which are being grasped by the more venturesome Americans." The Rainy River District he says "possess advantages over almost every other gold mining country in the world" due to easily worked ores and ready access to fuel water transportation and labor. There was apparently something to these claims as the area is seeing a resurgence in commercial mining activity today. Not found in OCLC. unknown books
