gold-seekers, Pat Mclaughlin,

stock were working out a catch
basin TO hold water with which
to wash gold from gravel in the
Sierra foothills of what is now
called Nevada. Instead of gold
they found a soft, lead-grey rock,
cursed it and threw it aside. Pat
O'Riley suggested that it might
be silver, but they had eyes only
for gold, which they could not
find
A short time later investors
offered to buy their claims, and
the three discouraged miners sold
out for a grubstake. They had
cast aside silver that yielded
more than $500. 100000 during
the following thirty years. and
later gold to the amount Of $780,

its neighboring towns, Goldhill
and Silver City.
Five years ago there were per-
haps a hundred residents in Vir-
ginia City. Wild horses roamed
the dust i aden streets and
browsed on the sparse grass
growing up through the rickety
board sidewalks. A half dozen
desert rats, pocket miners and
similar "bootleggers" were the
only business men" left in the
arid community. And there were
only four uncertain street lights
to cast eerie shadows on the

mining shafts.

-FOUR decades ago a few adj
venturous spirits tempted the
terrors of Death Valley in
search of gold. These brave
trail-blazers were soon followed
by horde Of fortune-seekers of
all nationalities who flocked to
the desert country near Death
Valley to search for that precious
yellow ore which is still there.
Houses sprang up, mushroom
like. until the wasteland became
dotted with towns all furnishing
with modern improvements. Then
it all vanished as quickly, for the
market on pr Gus metals
slumped, and the mining camps
became ghost towns.
But the glamour of the old
days lives again, and these ghost
towns are as lively as they were
during the amazing pay dirt
booms several decades ago. The
ghost walks through what were
abandoned, spectral mining
claims and rattles his chains
chains forged from gold. silver,
copper, and the baser metals.
Itinerant prospectors in mired
boots and sweat-soaked Stetsons
with laden pack animals stirring
up slow-rushing clouds of alkali
dust lend an old-time color to the
changing scene in the long de-
serted boom towns. For the pres
ent high prices of gold and the
new and inexpensive methods of
treating low grade ores, the
pegged price of silver and wars
in which copper is a basic neces-
sity have stimulated the mining
industry in Nevada and other
western States. Virginia City
Tonopah, Goldfield, Ryolite, and
Bullfrog of wild and woolly"
fame are having the most fever

years.
In days gone by. the mines
around Virginia City, the richest
and most famous boom camp in
America, poured forth more than
a billion dollars in gold and silver

0dIum Offers Plan
To Save Smaller
Industries

By the Associated Press.
A defense official proposed today
establishment of special financing
tries and ALLEGATION of raw materials
to tide them over during the period
in which they are converted from
civilian to defense production. 'r.
This program was offered to the
Senate Defense Investigating Com
mittee by Floyd B. Odlum, director
of the Division Of Contract Distribu-
ton of the Office of Production
Management, who contended that 1t
offered the best prospect for keeping
thousands of small concerns from
closing their doors.
Odlum proposed that from now
until June 80, or some other date
in the future. concerns employing
fewer than 20 persons be put in
a separate category with enough
scarce raw materials allocated to
keep them going until they could be
converted to defense production
Meanwhile, he said, the Govern
ment could concentrate on getting
the large manufacturers into de-
fense production, instead of trying
to do everything at once and fail
ing
He estimated that less than per
cent of the 1912 supply of scarce
materials would be needed to supply
the small concerns for the next six
months.
