The West Is Calling

There is a type of men and institutions that will not
brook a rival, says the Denver Mining Record. These are
like the spoiled child that breads a new addition to the
family of youngsters. The disposition of envy is founded
IN fear.
Attention is here called to the attitude of certain east
en newspapers, which depreciate the reports of gold dis
cover1es sent out from Colorado and Nevada. OF course,
these papers hide their motives behind the declaration that
such reports are calculated to excite a campaign of bogus
stock selling. They hold up the bette noir of possible
fraud as a means of preventing the natural flow of capital
to the west, where it is needed for development. Be it
known and emphasized that it is not from any high sense
OF morality or through any love for the investor or through
any desire to prevent the practice of frenzied financiering
in which the over-lords of the eastern press are past mas
ters-that the metropolitan newspapers of the east print
lofty essays on the dangers of mining investment. The
reason is that their millionaire propretors, acting as
spokesman for eastern interests. desire to regulate every
thing western for the benefit of their own section and circle.
Everyone knows of the rich gold discoveries that have
been and are being made in the west of the great fortunes
secured from the mineral industry. Everyone knows that
mining is a legitimate business, and that the amount of
fraud committed in all the mine promotions of the last
twenty-five years does not compare with the one great
New Haven fraud which was exposed last year in the
east. The great financial takers steal thousands OF dollars
while the wretched little mine takers get away with a few
pennies. The big fortunes in mining, unlike the big for
tunes in the sphere of railroad finance, are not made by
Juggling figures, but by producing original wealth from the
crust of the earth.
The fathers of the. great industries of the east were
men of creative imagination they deserve monuments. 1t is
their sons who have degenerated into gamblers, usurers
and feudal exclusives hateful and un-American. The day
of creative imagination is still present in the west, and the
atmosphere of it continually welcomes the attention of the
viri1e manhood of the east, of the reverent youth who yearn
to follow the command of the Hebrew scripture: "Subdue
the earth"
The men of the west who are fifty engaged in %subduing
the earth resent the imputations of the imperial press, which
is foreign to them in every sense except a political one.
They invite their disheartcned cousins of the old United
States to come into a country where opportunities for per
sOnal freedom are still personal---very. from the snarling
editorials of underpaid critics. All out west invites the dis
o1sted eaSterner.

Ontario, but the consignments have usually been made in
small quantities.
Years ago the Isabella mine at Cripple Greek sent out
a carload of ore which gave a net return of S21oooo, the
exact amount being twenty-five tons. The smelter pay
ment was thus about $1,000 a ton. For a long time the Isa-
bella shipment was cited as the greatest on record. Later
the Goldfield Consolidated sent out fortyseven tons which
yielded a net return of $575,ooo, or an average of more
than $4,000 to the ton.
Various rumors concerning the yields of the Cresson
vug at Cripple Greek, which was opened two months ago,
have been exaggerated by the general newspapers, but it is
nevertheless true that the first shipments from this strike
have been of a most alluring nature. The tonnage was
greater than the Isabella and Goldfeld consignments con-
tanned. Official returns indicate that lightweight tons
gave 200 ounces of gold per ton, while seventy-six tons gave
an average of los ounces. The lightweight tons thus
averaged more than $1,000 a ton Oh a total of 100000. The
grand total OF the two lots of 1911 tons was about $52o,ooo
This gigantic pocket of gold ore has only been touched,
however. The original vug is only a part OF a continuous
channel which has been opened at a lower level. Cripple
Greek mining men declare that the deposit will prove to be
the greatest gold enrichment Of equal or comparable extent
in the annals of mining.

Rich Ore Shipments in Past

The recent shipment of a rich cor signment of ore
from the new discovery in the Cresson mine at Cripple
Greek has revived interest in shipments previously made.
The Denver Mining Record says that while there have been
many rich consignments of gold ore in the history of west
ern mining camps, record-breaking shipments are not often
sought after: in MANY cases the facts are never preserved in
print or for the use of the general public. In the early days
of California, when as much as $8o.ooo,ooo in gold was pro-
luced in a single year, it is probablethat some very rich
consienments were made. The remarkable gold deposits of
Farncomb hill, near Breckenridge, Colo, from which Won
|derful specimens have been preserved in the Colorado mu-
scum, showed some very fine pockets of solid gold. Con
siderable Yields of silver ore, returning thousands of dol
lars to the ton, have been made from the Cobalt district of
