for_o mineral_n and_o metal_n be_v gain_v and_o profit_n and_o the_o impulsive_a cause_n that_o move_v they_o to_o that_o end_n be_v general_o poverty_n want_n indigency_n and_o consequent_o

the_o condition_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o hard_o that_o the_o undertaker_n and_o workman_n can_v get_v little_a profit_n by_o they_o which_o cause_v they_o often_o to_o be_v desert_v and_o
