Generally, however, the ipiarrel is i'uitmU'd on a plant too low for the iim' of touch wisdom. The applica tion of a little wisdom miylil have pre vvetiled it. The cn.-e in point occurred in n discu.-ioii of common interests. The farmer said: "Why don't you miners build a railroad to the mines and ect your precious stuff out to market?. That's the. way to develop you' mines.
