Many people feel the lure of gold, and dream of finding great nuggets of the gleaming yellow metal. The wonderful thrill of such a discovery must, however, be experienced vicariously, if at all, by most of us. Tales of hardship followed by the acquirement of a fortune in golden dust and nuggets fascinate us even though we know that they are only fiction. How much stronger, then, must be the appeal of true accounts of such achievements. It is probably because of the almost universal interest in the subject that the first edition of this bulletin was so soon exhausted, and not because people in every state in the Union, who requested copies, desired data on the mineral resources of Arizona. At any rate, this bulletin has been the most popular one issued by the Bureau. 60 p.Additional Links
