in league with some capitalist, will tell
the prospector that the ore viii rur
about 50 to the ton, with an attempt
at looking wise.
But the prospector is shrewd, ii he
does wear buckskin partaIoons. An
other assayer tells him that it is $40
ore, when it is really $50 ore. They
smilingly ask him: Where did you
get it?" He gruf1y replies: I'm the
mountains" He then comes to Den
YER, hunts up capitalist and sends in
a piece of this rock for visiting card.
He is at once admitted. The prospectol
and the millionaire talk the matter
over" and the millionaire has his owl
assay made. He knows that the pros
pector has not the money to work the
claim, and offers to buy it for a small
sum, which often is accepted. The
prospector, with his few thousands of
dollars, has q grand time for a few
months, and when he is 'hrolle" he
applies to the capitalist for grub
stake" of $50 or 800, and returns to
the mountains in search of another
find. In (, few weeks his provisions are
exhausted, and his second application
is bluntly refused by the man who has
made 100000 or more by the pGr-
chase. He applies to another, and an
other, and year after year he goes
through the same routine, changing
lis base of operations from California
to Colorado, and thence to other points
where the boom is on. A few strike it
rich, but sell out too soon, and others
reap the benefits of their years of toll
and suffering. A few hold on, and join
the throng of Northumberland forget
their prospector companions.

there is a great rush to the new dis

still mad rush of gold seekers and adj
yentnrers 10 all these points. The gold
product of the past year is estimated at
S2C0, ,00O-greater than ever before
in the worlds history. OF this amount
the United States produced 25 per cent.
and of this $50,00O,COO, Colorado pro-
duced $17,c00,O0O, about half of this
coming from the Cripple Creek district.
Thus it will be seen that (. district three
miles square produced one-siNth of the
gold product of the United States. This
years estimate from Cripple Creek is
S1,000,060 4 month. If the other dis
tricts in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Cali
fornia, Arizona, Alaska and New Mex
leo, but slightly increase, the yield will
be about S75,000,000 this year. And if
the fields IN the other parts of the world
increase proportionately gold must
soon become drug in the market, Ind
will necessitate 4 remodeiing of the
basis of finance. 1t viii become as
plentiful as silver, and also cause a re
vision of politics. 1t will solve the
problem at which our statesmen are
hammeriEg. by upsctting their theories
and giving them new conditions to con-
slider.
\ recent estimate shows that there
is $6Oo,0O0,OOO Of gold in the United
States, and at the present rate of pro-
duction the amount would be doubled
il, ~ years. Unless business and pop
ulation increased proportionately per-
haps silver would be at a premium.
The cause of this widespread gold
fever is due mainly tc science and
the invention OF improved machinery,
which greatly lessons the cost of pro-
duction. Without giving expert de-
tails that would need explanation, the
matter may be illustrated with the
statement that during the Leadville
boom IS years ago, ore that did
ton was thrown away as useless. 1t
Just about paid expenses. Now there
is profit in ore that yields only three
dollars to the ton. Improved ma
chinery and the new scientific process
Of extracting ores take almost the last
particle of gold out of the rock, and
as effectually as the life is squeezed
cut Of n lemon. These improvements
have caused a revival in the mining in
dustry. and the wild rush of 'pros-
pectors" 10 the new fields. Or, rather,
they rush wherever they believe gold
may be found.
There are. in the west, thousands OF
''prospectors" who follow no other vo-
cction than that OF mining. They
