THE GOLD RUSH OF 1849
New England went wild over the California gold
•" fields of ’49. Over 25 companies were formed to grub
stake fortune seekers. The Curtis California Mining
Company sold 2,000 shares at $5 each to provide 10 men
with $1,000 each to go to California, the men obligating
themselves to pay one-sixteenth part of their earnings
for two years to the company.
Perhaps Alaska had better go back almost a century
and take a leaf from the book of time.
Mining quickens almost every department of useful
industry. —Horace Greeley.
GOLD MINED AND THEN REBURIED
One might well ask; “What’s the use of it all?” The
dentists of this country each year use more than $15,000,
000 worth of gold in fillings, more than the annual pro
duction of Alaska and California. More than $10,000,00C
worth of gold is buried annually in American cemeteries,
