They do it themselves." This is the reply I have received in half a dozen instances where I made inquiry of men who employed from twenty-five to two hundred Chinese.

Any one can see that, with such an organization of labor, many things can be easily done which under our different and looser system a man would not rashly undertake.

So far as I have been able to learn, such a thing as a gang of Chinese leaving a piece of work they had engaged to do, unless they were cheated or ill-treated, is unknown.

Then they don't drink whisky.

With all this, any one can see that they need not work cheaply.
To a man who wants to get a piece of work done their systematic ways are worth a good deal of money.
