Kansas promises to become the scene
of as great a gold craze as agitated Ohio
this spring. Even State officials and cap
italists are catching the fever, and are
investing their money in land and mines
and mills. Gen. Artz, who achieved fame
as adJutant general during the "Duns-
more rebellion in Kansas, is the father
OF the craze. He worked for two years
or more developing, mines in Trego and
Ellis counties. Since then others have be-
come interested in the "mines," and now
shafts are being sunk in a score Of places
IN the counties named. and land prices
have gone out Of sight. Near where the
main shaft is being sunk in Trego Conn-
ty lane cannot be bought at any price.
biologists and mining engineers declare
that 1t is out of the question that there
can be more than traces of gold in Kan
sas, but the men who are digging the
mines and putting up the money declare
they have assays which show shat there
are fabulous quantities of gold there.
