Goldfield Land It

~ ONE time ago The News printed an editorial to the effect that
the students of finance and speculation in the great financial
- centers are predicting that the time is about ripe for another
great gold mining and stock boom. They say that coppers have about
reached their zenith in interest and prices, and that by the natural
law of change and repetition interest is coming back to gold mines.
This means that some gold camp is to be the center of that new inter-
est. Cripple Creek has been mentioned as the place where the light
enng is to strike, and now Jarbidge is mentioned. However, late in
formation secured by The News Is to Jarbidge is to the effect that
camp may be classed with Glendale as to real merit as a great find
that is, that there is nothing there to Justify the noise that has been
passed out.
With gold mining due for another revival, what in the world is
there to prevent Goldfeld from landing the plum? Goldfed district
is now leading the world in point of dividends; indications point to
the possibility and probability of another great strike at any time,
the outside world some good result should come. Every mining man,
every broker, every newspaper man, every resident, should join in the
proposition of sending written and printed matter to all the outside
world, telling of the production and opportunity of the camp. No
camp can show a prouder record and greater o. even equal oppor-
tnnities, than can Goldfeld.
The Mining Record of Denver, for instance, sees the new gold
boom coming, and says, along this line, in its editorial columns:
Gold mining viii always retain it's lure, unless someone should
happen along with a real method of manufacturing the metal out of
sawdust, under which condition We could expect to e the precious
stuff take a big slump and all gold mines go bankrupt. Copper is a
pretty metal, and a very useful one at that. Silver, TOO, retains its
sheen well and people like it in spite of its misfortunes. Then there
are lead and zine, with merits that cannot be ascrbed to any other
substance. But, after all, if you want to see a man raise his eyebrows
and his cheeks flush with interest, begin talking gold to him, and
particularly gold mines. He will run all manner of risk to get into
the gold business. He is not content to secure it by producing some
thing else in exchange for it. He wants to produce it, or help produce
il, himself.
According, every once in a while. there comes a spontaneous
movement upon the part of the mass of the nation toward the business
of producing gold, yea, toward the business OF trying to produce it
Gold mining booms reeur with great regularity, and in their own
good time. Some folks think W must have a gold mining boom some
where every ten years OIL SO. OF course, there must be new discoveries
upon which to base the movement, because gold mining booms are
usually built upon the initial evidences Of productivity. When things
have settled down to large production, the boom spirit usually dies
development has drawn the lines Of demarcation between payable ant
barren territory; the biologists have begun to make out their case
