SAYS We have JIM JAMS

Judge c. C. Goodwin, that good, old
tried friend of Nevada is afraid that
we in Nevada will make SO much
money we will go dotty over it. He
has the following to say in the Salt
Lake Telegram about the matter:
In Nevada an evolution is going On.
Never before was such gambling:
never before were so many promo
tions; never before were men realiz-
ing SO much from investments.
In the earlier days there were ex-
citing times. Every banker, every
business man, every servant girl and
hostler in the west was in the deal
but that was limited mostly to Cali
fornia and Nevada. When the Belch-
er, Crown Point and Con. Cal. bonan-
Zas were in the flood tide. not only
they. but every location along the
CCmstock was in demand, but there
was limitation of means. 1t was
confined to the Pacific Slope. East
ern people placed mines in the extra
hazardous list and fought shy Of
them. In those days if man had )
of developing into g great properly
and sought help from eastern capital
lists to put the propert. on a paying
basis he was very liable TO be IN
suited
L is changed now Railroad invest
ments at best only promise to pay
low dividends, 1t is the same way
with city realty. It is worse with any
Of the trusts. and there seems to be a
general turning to mining. Some
stocks that We're reckoned only IN
cents a year ago are going il big dol
lars today. ana the food seems TO De
constantly rising. The center of the
disturbance, as the weather phOphets
say. is over Nevada now, and the
money is pouring in there by thous-
ands, tens of thousands and millions,
and there is no abatement in the
fCOd.
What is the end to be? No one
can tell. What was looked upon as
but wild dream a year ago is now Il
pronounced reality. and men who
were too cautious To invest then are
kicking themselves now that they
could not see what was to be.
And every day something new IS
being presented with assays all right.
with prospects as good as the best
And people are rushing there. and
those who do not go are sending their
money, and the roar and the rush
know no abatement.
1t is a phenomenon Nothing like
1t was ever seen in America before
Of course, there will be a showdown
by and by, but what then? VIII not
the men who has been in that vortex
be untitled for ordinary business for
j, all the rest of their days?
viii he ordinary work and calm OF
conterted life always be a bore |,
them? When any ordinary business
that promises low percentage Of N
tefeSt on reasonably sure basis IS
presented to them. will they not haze
contempt for it?
Some men have long spells of fever

Jams, recover and become careful
business men. But who will ever t,e
