About the Book

" Michel Chevalier se plaisait à montrer que les mines d'or et d'argent sont pour nous un moindre trésor que les mines de charbon. Même à ne considérer que la valeur intrinsèque des produits, c'est une incontestable vérité, car il sort annuellement du sol des continents pour cinq milliards de houille, ou peu s'en faut, et les métaux précieux ne vont point à moitié de ce chiffre. Mais la convoitise humaine ne s'attarde pas à de tels calculs. Poursuivant la richesse sous toutes ses formes, les hommes la voient surtout dans cet or qui lui sert à la fois démesure et de véhicule; et partout où sa présence est signalée, on accourt, on se précipite. D'autant que la capture en semble d'abord facile. Au pied des monts où l'or se cache dans la pierre, la roche pulvérisée par l'action séculaire des eaux se trouve répandue à l'état de sables ou de boues, et le premier venu, avec une écuelle et de l'eau, peut isoler les menues paillettes qu'elles recèlent. Qui sait même s'il ne mettra pas tôt ou tard la main sur quelqu'un de ces nids de pépites qui sont les gros lots de ces loteries-là ! De pareilles aubaines sont rares; mais l'espoir n'en est interdit à personne; et de là, dans toutes les régions aurifères ou réputées telles des pays neufs, ces essaims de prospecteurs en quête d'un filon vierge; de là surtout, lorsque leur persévérance a été couronnée de succès, ces légions et parfois ces armées de chasseurs d'or qui, de tous les horizons, viennent s'abattre avidement sur le même coin de terre..."
About the Author: Alfred de Foville, né le 26 décembre 1842 à Paris où il est mort le 14 mai 1913, est un économiste et statisticien français, qui par ses travaux, a su être aussi bien un géographe des transports et de l'habitat qu'un spécialiste des échanges monétaires ou du monde rural.
