LEY's ADVICE, "GO WEST"
According to Statement Of Kansas cItv
Man, "Salted" Mines Gave the
Great Editor the Inspiration
for Well.known Words.

according to 1som G. Stephens, who
runs little corner grocery store in
Kansas City, the famous advice OF
Horace Greeley to go West" was
founded on fake bit Of persuasion in
the form of a "salted" gold mine near
Denver, Colo.
In the Spring Of 1860 Mr.. Stephens
was In Denver-then a mere frontier
village whose chief enterprise was
gambling-at the time when Horaca 2
Greeley made the town visit. Steph-
ems was one Of party Of six who
wasted considerable effort trying to
get real gold out of the identical To-
cality where the early day promoters
produced extravagant wealth before
Mr.. Greeley's eyes. The ruse worked
admirably. 1t was good for several co.,

he built our log house in the Micht-
gan clearing in 1928.
Our party got tip on the mines
that Greeley had written about and we
went up near Boulder and tried our
luck. The six Of US showed gross re-
