prospects The world has seldom looked
upon such spectacle, and the conditions
are ripe for the greatest fraud of this
century. Distinguished mining experts,
to whom the public has right to look
for protection, refuse to denounce trading
in barren granite rocks at preposterous
prices, because a few experts, puzzled by
new geological conditions in the camp,
condemned the whole district three years
ago. AS it is to-day, they would rather
remain dumb while million-dollar stock
companies are organized on the basis OF
ten-foot holes than take the risk of even
a possible error in Judgment
This strange and misleading timdity,
combined with the riproaring enthusiasm
of miners who have already made millions
of dollars out of the legitimate mines,
and are drunk with enthusiasm, enables
any rascal who chooses to come into Col
orado and secure worthless claim any
where in the .neighborhood of Cripple
Creek to sell ii at a high price in the
eastern states or in Europe, without fear
of exposure
A year ago the selling price of the total
stocks of Cripple Creek was in the neigh
borhood of 100000. and at this moment
the stock values are not far from $1,000
coo. Perhaps this Is not too large figure
considering the fact that there is indls-
putable evidence that the combined mines
are now producing ore at a rate Of $780,
0o0 or 100000 a month.
But the real output is confined to rev
shafts, and after an exhaustive and i'm
partial investigation of the whole sub
1ect ! am satisfied that out of the 800 or
coo companies already organized under the
laws of Colorado not more than 100 are
founded upon actual mines with real
values in sight
Ii is true that Winfield Scott Stratton,
the poor carpenter. who now owns the In
dependence mine, and has refused within
two weeks to sell il for S5,030,0OO is in
vesting most of the money that comes
out of his shafts in new claims, but Mr..
Stratton is gambling with full knowl-
edge of the game, and with the assistance
of a large staff of mining experts, who
a.rx tae q nd with
every foot of it. Even under these. con-
ditions, Mr.. Stratton admits that he is
gambling. There are no gamblers like
professional gamblers, and there Is no
folly ike the folly of practical miner In
the fl st flush of success Having won
once or twice, he will invest his mooney
and ls.bor in ground at which he would
have laughed a week before and the un-
Fortunate outsider Is thus led to stake his
money upon the mere toss of penny
with the idea that he is engaging in
mining enterprise.
