Show The Gold of Nicaragua. In closing a report to the State Department about gold in Nicaragua, Nicara-gua, Consul O'Hara at San Jaun del Norte says: ...... I "Much of the newspaper talk about gold in those countries is pure imagination, im-agination, anil while I have faith enough in the gold fields of eastern Nicaragua to belcive that gold hunters hunt-ers having both the time and the money to prospect a year or so might find poorer gold mines elsewhere, else-where, yet I feel that it is my duty to warn Americans not to come here in the expectation of getting rich i 1 a few years. Up to the present time, with but three or four exceptions, except-ions, no one has succeeded in making mak-ing a fortune in the mining districts of Nicaragua." |
