Excerpt from Land of the Nugget; Why?
He knows that oceans are being born and sent to the skies from every flaming star and sun. Then he concludes that this is not all that these world-furnaces are doing, for the spectroscope at his side affirms that, associated with ocean vapors, mineral and metallic vapors ade on steeds of flame.
I turn back to earth in its childhood and knowing an ocean rons around it today and knowing, too, that its primal history is fire-impressed upon its bosom, I see it with every drop of these waters soaring as a vapor canopy on high-winged in perpetual flight about a hot and seething globe. I look down the ages and see these vapors have fallen back to mother earth. I see the earth abloom-a scene of activity and life, and the chemist tells me that every leaf and blade that flutters in the breeze, every tree that towers above, every animal that lives, does so because in an age gone by the molten earth gave birth to interchanging and undying energies. The very mountains rise and look down upon the plain because the earth was once a star.
I take up a glass of ocean water and subject it to a strict and honest analysis. I find in it a trace of gold but enough of it to show that vast millions of it are locked up in the oceanic waters. How did it get there? plainly it was associated with the steaming vapors as they arose from the molten earth. In predicating then, that present world-energies and present world-conditions are but the echoes awakened in the fires of the molten earth, one also predicates that the distribution of the gold and other metals and minerals now found on and in the earth crust is a direct resultant of that former state of the earth. In other words if the earth had never been an igneous spere, the iron, lead, copper, silver and gold now found in the North-world would not be there.
