TTERE are the ghost towns
l. lneeding but the touch of
magic to fling back their green
shutters and boil anew with the
life that had them dizzy three
quarters of a century ago"
1t was in 1927 that Robert
Welles Richie wrote that in his
fine story of the great California
gold rush which he called The
Hell-roarin' Forty-niners." In
1927 few men could forsee what
was going to happen to gold.
The touch of magic" has been
given now. The ghost mining
towns of the West-in California,
Colorado, Nevada and elsewhere
are not exactly boiling. But
they are stirring - Poker Flat,
Brandy City, Rough and Ready,
Gold Run, You Bet, Emigrant
Gap, Etc, Etc.
Four bits 20 a dollar a day of
gold meant nothing to the hell
roarin' Forty-niners. In most
cases they left it where it lay. But
today with 100000 out of work
in America, so cents is the differ
ence between starvation and grub.
Fifty cents day and life in the
open, thousands of city-bred men
have figured, is better than hope
lesSly walking unsympathetic city
streets.
Throughout the hills and val
leys of the West such men are at
work panning gold in worn-out
diggings. 1t has been estimated
that at least 100000 took to the
hills this past summer. More and
more can be expected to go now
that new gold can be sold at the
free market price, which means
that a man able a few months
ago to earn so cents a day will
now get IS cents and upward for
the same work and the same gold.
TT is a strange gold rush, this of
Il the busted Thirty -threerS. There
is pathos in it and humor and
something immensely thrilling. 1t
started in 1881. What lone hero
first decided he had enough of
breadlines and started off for the
foothills never will be known. The
fact is that he made good. The
news spread that man could
earn so cents a day. Others fol-
lowed him. The hundreds grew
to the thousands. BY 1882 the
rush was on in earnest.
Arthur Hawthorne Carhart
wrote an eyewitness description of
the rush as he saw it in Colorado
in September. 1882:
Gold fever was loose In the
hills The whole set-up was sug-
costing, more and more, a re-
acting of the days of SO, from pla-

Street Car Firm Gets Low

BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

Power produced by the Public
Service Company of Indiana, at an
alleged cost of 8.8 mills is being
sold under contract to the Indian
apolis Railways, Inc, for 8.5 mills,
it was brought out at the rate re-
duction hearing before the public
service commission today.
The rate case was inaugurated by
Sherman Minton, public counselor,
who charged that the Public Service
Comuany made $2,5oO,0OO excess
profits in its south system" last
year
Mr.. Minton's questioning today
way directed at the cost of power.
1t disclosed that while the street
railway here gets power from the
company at 3 mills less than the cost
figure, the company sells its own
power users at 1888 cents a kilo-
watt hour
Build-Up Exposed
This includes water pumping sta
lions and electric lines operated by
the Public Service Company.
Average charge to all users was
placed at At cents.
Expose of the insult methods of
financing marked the hearing
Wednesday afternoon.
The company, in an effort prevent
electric rate cuts throughout the
entire south system" presented
financial statement calling for
81 100000 depreciation reserve.
Mr. Minton pointed out that this
sum is nine times that allowed by
the company during its boom days
from 1925 to 1890

L. B. Schiesz, company control
Ter, who presented the figures, adj
mitted under Mr. Mintons question:
ing that during those prosperous
years only 100000 was allowed for
depreciation while 100000 went to
pay common stock dividends.
He explained that this was done
to strengthen company credit dur
ing a period of extension and ex-
panSion."
Mr. Minton contends that it was
done to build up insult stock jobbing
plans and that the company now
has no right to take out nine times
more depreciation at the expense of
ratepayers during the worst bust
ness months in its history"
He called it raising the ante
during the depression" to which
Mr.. Schiesz objected.

after I find gold, how do I set
it out of the Sand?"
Suppose I find gold, where do I
sell it?"
In self-defense, authorities
opened classes in placer mining.
The California Mining Division
inStructs the amateurs, as many as
can be accommodated, in it's labor
atories in San Francisco. The
Denver Public School of Placer
Mining takes its students to river
bed near Denver. The Denver
school has graduated hundreds of
men this year and sent them up
into the hills to find gold where
they can find it.
Placer gold is found in stream
beds, their bars, tributary gulches
and benches along the slopes. The
gold is freed from the dirt or sand
by panning, laboriouS operation.
Planning consists simply of filling
the pan, shallow wide utensil,
two-thirds full of the dirt and re-
moving the dirt by shaking the
pan under water.
The heavy gold settles to the
bottom of the pan, the lighter dirt
washes away. 1t takes an expert
enced man ten hours to pan 100
pans. Sometimes there will be no
more than one or two "colors" to
a pan, and it takes from 1900 to
$4,000 colors, depending on the
size of the particles, to make an
ounce of gold-which means that
placer mining is no job for lazy
man.
1t is hard work and so cents to
dollar a day is the best the
average man can expect to earn.
There is always the chance of
finding a spot where the gold is

Ger Planners in Cherry creek to
reports of big strikes in the noun
tains. A motley procession OF
autos followed the roads to the
gold camps. Many had out-of-
state licenses and often displayed
gold pans and shovels among
trimming bundles of duffel. Along
the road between Fairplay and
Alma were dozens of tents, and
nearby men worked Sluices and
hand rockers. Our trail turned
leftward toward Mosquito Gulch
and London Mountain, where
recent strike was made. Along
the road were slab-walled shacks,
log houses and tents-abodes of
the camp followers of the gold

similar scenes in California in

Rocky Mountain states, where
mining is more or less familiar to
everybody. They were still COM

the lure OF making a real Strlke.
THEODORE SMITH, a re-
Il porter on the San Francisco
News, went up along the mother
lode this summer to find out how
the 50-cent miners fere making
out. His report indicates what
luck and life are like on the av-
erage.
Hans Sorenson, with his wife
and three children, were caught in
the vortex of the depression. He
lost his job as auto mechanic,
tried a hand at fruit picking and
finally drifted into placer mining.
Eight months now he has toiled
patiently over the gravel pockets
of Parks Bar. They all live in a
small tent. They make IS to so
cents day.
Arch Harris and his family
have had a camp on the Bear
river for more than two years.
With his brothers family and
few friends they have stayed sum-
mer and winter. During the sum-
mer they have plenty of COM
pany. AS many as thirty have
tried to support themselves on
the tiny golden spots in the
crevices. Despite two years work
at building homemade Sluices,
rockets and crucibles, Arch Harris
still is able to squeeze little more
than rs cents a day from the river
bed"
Others are doing better. Along
Deer creek, near Grass Valley,
placer miners have averaged as
high as $3.50 a day. And every
miner can keep going with the
hope of doing what Bob New
meyer did on Jackson hill New
meyer up and found himself a
single nugget worth $1,700.
