MINER BEWARE!Just got an email criticizing me for Miners'Index Page
"Anita, Even for young people today, looking for gold ain't too bright. Today we
have private property invasion problems, and you could get shot at --- for
trespassing. (Yes and I could get killed driving to the market in the middle of LA's huge ghetto.)"Property has been bought up across the country, and trespassers looking
for treasure are not welcome. There are not too many places today you
can legally prospect. Mountains are now often private property. Trails
to the mountains have been closed off by landowners. (So. I won't walk
on that trail.) More dangerous is getting shot by a deer hunter in season.THEN there are rattlers, not a good thing when far from a hospital
EQUALLY DANGEROUS, of course, is some city expat loner tree hugging hobo rendered schizy by hunger.
Or You guys attacked by a bear to whom your tent is a net spider web when your kids smell like dinner.
LAST is the rich property owner to whom you ARE that schizy tramp!
The alpha male with fifty rifles in his library's gun safe.
Oprah Winfrey just recently purchased 80 valuable acres for 10.8 million
bucks, in the mountains near skiing areas. She is building a mansion on
the mountain she owns. She put up signs warning hikers and recreational
walkers that they could not cross her property. (I'll wait until someone gets
angry enough at Oprah to shoot her, then I'll cross her property).Even rich people with their own property were told to quit using the
trails on her property. (How could she detect them from ordinary
hikers. Isn't this what happened to Oprah in PARIS at some shoppe?
She got banned, sent away, thrown out? Guilty of being on private
property? Is there a connection, maybe? Her GITBACK?)Moneyed interests have grabbed large amount of formerly open land. Sorry
prospectors!
ANITA's LAME RETORT: SIR: LARGE amounts of formerly open land couldn't be ALL
THE OPEN LAND! There are 3.8 million square miles here, my cautious chum! And GOLD
is found on hard granite hillsides that nobody bought, riverbeds that are now owned.
__________________________________________________________________________EXCERPT FROM ONLINE FILE ON GOLD RUSH HISTORY:Recent scholarship confirms that merchants made far more money than miners during the Gold Rush. The wealthiest man in California during the early years of the rush was Samuel Brannan, the tireless self-promoter, shopkeeper and newspaper publisher. Brannan opened the first supply stores in Sacramento, Coloma, and other spots in the gold fields. Just as the rush began he purchased all the prospecting supplies available in San Francisco and re-sold them at a substantial profit. However, some gold-seekers too made substantial money. For example, within a few months in 1848, one small group of prospectors working on the Feather River retrieved a sum of gold worth more than $3 million by 2010 prices.
On average, half the gold-seekers made a modest profit, after taking all expenses into account. Most, however, especially those arriving later, made little or wound up losing money. Similarly, many unlucky merchants set up in settlements which disappeared, or which succumbed to one of the calamitous fires that swept the towns that sprang up. By contrast, a businessman who went on to great success was Levi Strauss, who first began selling denim overalls in San Francisco in 1853
Other businessmen, through good fortune and hard work, reaped great rewards in retail, shipping, entertainment, lodging, or transportation. Boardinghouses, food preparation, sewing, and laundry were highly profitable businesses often run by women (married, single, or widowed) who realized men would pay well for a service done by a woman. Brothels also brought in large profits, especially when combined with saloons and gaming houses." So your advice, sir, is open a brothel?
Senor, your comments are relatively true but it's a question of Tough Times make for Tough People. If your grandchildren can't eat as your son is jobless, wouldn't you rather he learn mining than sit in an alley with his wife and children starving? Or that the family camp out and prospect in boots so high rattlesnakes can't do them harm? And get a suntan in fresh air rather than running whores?
