Scottish silver mine inspires argent dreams

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commissioners of a new silver mine in Scotland make much of its potential, for upon an assay made today 100 oz. of ore yields 60 oz. of pure silver. At this instant, they are sending 12 tons of ore to London on a bark from Scotland.
We can only hope the report proves true, for then King James's empty coffers will be filled and all his great debts paid.
